Shadow Strike comes in hot from the jump and keeps getting better and more intense as the pages fly by, watching a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game unfold with dire consequences hanging in the balance. This is Brad Taylor at the height of his literary powers, delivering a masterfully crafted story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
A shadow group within the IRGC develops a brazen plot to strike both the Israelis and the Americans abroad, culminating with a catastrophic operation in the Middle East. After facilitating the escape of the notorious terrorist known as the Ghost, they equip him with the resources to deliver a devastating blow to their shared enemies. But Pike Logan and his Taskforce team are in play and on the hunt. Having already captured the Ghost before, Pike might be the only person alive capable of stopping his plans and thwarting disaster. But the clock is ticking. Can Pike deliver his trademark magic yet again? Or will time run out before he can save the day?
The 20th installment of the Pike Logan series has everything long-time fans, and thriller fans in general, could ever ask for. Audacious and timely plot lines. Well-developed characters. High-octane action sequences with explosions of violence. Strategic thinking from both sides trying to outwit one another. Technology deployed in innovative ways. Enemy misdirection. Pike and his Taskforce team taking risks and defying orders. A reunion with a couple of fan favorite characters. And a race to the finish with a thrilling conclusion. All coming together brilliantly in a way that makes you hold your breath while you desperately read at increasing speeds to find out how things will end.
Shadow Strike is seriously good and highlights Pike at his best while also providing plenty of opportunity for the rest of the Taskforce team to shine. It’s a fantastic novel that you can’t stop reading once you get going.
