Pike Logan is on the desperate hunt for a man who is about to betray
his country--and ignite a horrific new world war--in this pulse-pounding
thriller from New York Times bestselling author and former special
forces officer Brad Taylor
Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are enjoying a sunny vacation down under
when they get disturbing news: their friend and colleague Clifford
Delmonty is in serious trouble. While working as a contractor at an
Australian F-35 facility, the former Taskforce member--callsign
Dunkin--saw something he shouldn't have, and now he's on the run from
Chinese agents.
Pike and Jennifer soon discover that Dunkin's attackers are a dangerous
link to a much larger scheme that could launch a full-on conflict
between China and Taiwan. In its quest for dominance, China is
determined to reclaim Taiwan--a pivotal ally the United States has sworn
to protect. Pike learns that the Chinese have a devious plan to bait the
island nation into all-out war by destabilizing the government and
manipulating an artificial intelligence defense system.
As the threat reaches a boiling point, Pike alone realizes that what
they're seeing isn't actually real. A soldier who has always been
trained to fight and win, Pike must now track down and neutralize the
missing man who holds the key. With the help of Jennifer, the Taskforce
team, and a brave Taiwanese intelligence agent, he races to prevent a
catastrophic conflict from consuming a whole region of the world.
