THEY''RE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT''S SECRET WEAPON. They call them the Taskforce. Designed to operate outside the bounds of law, trained to exist on the ragged edge of human capability, their existence is as essential as it is illegal. Recruited from top operators in the intelligence spheres and led by ex-Special Forces Operator Pike Logan, they are apex predators. An unrivalled hunting machine, until now.On a counter-terrorist mission in the triple frontier – the lawless border region where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay join – the Taskforce meets its match. And then the unthinkable happens, Logan''s unit goes missing. As he heads to Brazil to investigate, Logan runs headlong into a crew of Russian assassins. Forged in combat, the Russians are the Taskforce''s equal... but Logan''s on the warpath. He''ll do whatever it takes to save his team.Praise for Brad Taylor: ''It''s an excellent read, and I greatly enjoyed it'' Nelson DeMille''Pike ranks right up there with Jason Bourne, Jack Reacher and Jack Bauer'' John Lescroart''Logan is a tough, appealing hero you''re sure to root for Joseph Finder''Fresh plot, great actions, and Taylor clearly knows what he is writing about'' Vince Flynn
