Synopsis

Retired Delta Force officer Brad Taylor—whose debut thriller, One Rough Man, was a national bestseller—continues his electrifying Pike Logan series.

A terrorist hit is coming.

The CIA, FBI, and Department of Defense systems have spiked, but traditional intel is going nowhere. It falls to the Taskforce—a top secret team that exists outside the bounds of U.S. law and is charged with finding and destroying asymmetric threats—to stop the unknown conspirators.

A shadowy trailer leads the Taskforce through Asia and into Egypt, where an attack leaves one hardened Taskforce member dead and another barely breathing. Pike Logan and his partner, Jennifer Cahill, are forced to helm the increasingly convoluted and dangerous mission—a mission that tests Jennifer's ability to justify means to an end and Pike's tenuous ability to stay in control. Sifting their way through the opposing plots of two terrorist organizations will turn out to be th least of their problems when a weapon of unthinkable power touches American soil—the only country in which Taskforce members are forbidden to operate, and the only country that Pike Logan may be unable to save.

Told with unparalleled realism informed by Taylor's decades of experience in the Special Forces and Delta Force, All Necessary Force takes readers on a terrifying and relentless journey.

About this title

About the Author:

Brad Taylor, Lieutenant Colonel (ret.), is a twenty-one-year veteran of the U.S. Army Infantry and Special Forces. His first Pike Logan novel, One Rough Man, was a New York Times bestseller. He lives in Charleston, South Carolina.

From Booklist:

Taylor’s follow up to One Rough Man (2011) continues the adventures of Pike Logan in another gritty look at a Special Forces team. Logan, the leader of a counter-terrorist organization that routinely skirts the law, takes college student Jennifer Cahill under his wing, and she begins the grueling training to become an operative. It’s not pretty, and she struggles to maintain her sanity while battling sexism in her unit. Then what seems like a minor mission to get Cahill’s feet wet turns out to be more sinister. During the Vietnam War, a soldier took incriminating photos of a spy working with the Soviets. That spy is now a U.S. congressman. When the missing camera shows up, the spy will do anything to keep his participation a secret. Fans of military thrillers will enjoy the look into how men in uniform fight for our freedom. Readers will want to hear more of Logan and Cahill. --Jeff Ayers
