End of Days: A Pike Logan Novel (Pike Logan, 16)
Pike Logan must stop a deranged killer hell-bent on igniting an international conflagration in this explosive, action-packed thriller from New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer, Brad Taylor.
When a paragliding trip over the picturesque mountains of Switzerland results in the brutal murder of the former head of Israeli intelligence, Mossad brings in terrorist hunters Aaron and Shoshana to investigate. But they'll need help to find out who was behind the attack and what they're planning next. Luckily, Aaron and Shoshana know exactly who to call.
Taskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill have been trapped in Charleston, South Carolina during COVID-19, so when Aaron and Shoshana show up on their doorstep with Israeli passports and a new mission, they jump at the chance to assist their friends. Some suspect that Keta'ib Hezbollah, an Iranian-funded militia group operating in Iraq, might be responsible for the "accidental" deaths of key members of the American and Israeli governments. But something isn't adding up, and Pike, Jennifer, and the two Mossad operators are determined to find the real assassins before more people are cut down.
As they stumble upon the trail of a serial killer loose on the streets of Rome connected to the deaths and follow evidence leading to the exalted Knights of Malta, they must wade deep into the contentious religious and political fractures of Israel and the greater Middle East. It's a dangerous world where fanatics and legitimate organizations exist side by side, and it's up to the Taskforce to determine who is really pulling the strings. What they find could have disastrous consequences not only for them, but for the entire world…

Good story line, read well some history mixed in. Looking forward to the next in series. Characters are real and keep you holding your breath

So good I didn’t want it to end; I wish it had 500 more pages! Characters you really feel you know, thrilling action that makes you feel the tension, and a plot that is timely and well researched. Please Mr. Taylor, keep writing more…

Well, Brad Taylor certainly didn’t disappoint! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the characters. He said it was harder to write this book because of Covid but it sure didn’t show in the riveting story! I highly recommend!
Gail
Another good one! Great story with a little too much backstory/filler. Love the team dynamics. Despite the filler, overall still entertaining.

Brad Taylor has taken Pike Logan to another level. Pike is the tactical man we live through and aspire to be when our own careers are now lived out in garrison. So, triple check your kit, clean your weapons and get ready to ride; you won’t be able to put End of Days on the nightstand and turn off the lights.
