Pike can easily be embalmed as a real-life superhero of contemporary America. His emotional and family side also finds a good number of pages in the series. He is not the free “Jason Bourne” type character, but someone who’s bound by the duties of both a nation and a family.

BEST BRAD TAYLOR BOOKS:

Brad’s first novel, One Rough Man (published in 2011) took the world of books by storm. A classic debut, the book takes the readers on a roller-coaster military escapade. Pike Logan is posted in the volatile Middle-East in an extremely secretive mission. The terrorist organization he’s fighting somehow uncover Brad’s identity and brutally murders Logan’s wife and daughter. Mentally shattered he returns to the US and trades his sorrows with alcohol. After a grueling drinking binge, he stumbles upon an archeologist who witnessed the murder of a scientist in Mexico. The same terrorist’s name pop up and they finally realize that the terrorists are planning an attack on US soil. Will they be able to mend things in time?

After the stunning success of his first book, Brad brought to the world his second, All Necessary Force. It’s another classic drenched in military thrills and suspense. You can also feel the patriotic vibe in this book. The book is a continuation of the first and it smoothly transits and creates a story of its own. The main protagonist is Pike Logan as usual and in his character you can expect the same determination and passion as the last time.

But the best bite in the series has to be his seventh book in the series, No Fortunate Son. In this Pike Logan comes to know of his real employer which is not the conventional armed forces. The Taskforce, which is a shadow organization working for the interests of the USA gets too close to Logan. Will Logan still take command? It’s a sure-shot thriller and can be classified the best of the best.

For people who love the bullets and wrath of the military will enjoy this series to its core. Brad’s writing is visibly refreshing and the environ he creates has the power to keep your attention attuned. Moreover, the series is also a take on the moral grounds of military warfare and the ethics which surround it.
