One Rough Man (Pike Logan 1) by Brad Taylor


Pike Logan was armed and loaded and ready for any terrorist attack. But nothing could ever prepare him for the pain he had to endure when he came back from a mission and found his wife and daughter murdered.
His whole world was shattered, his life was a mess and all hopes for humanity was abandoned. Until he met gymnast Jennifer Cahill and saved her from smugglers. Together they discovered that Cahill’s uncle was killed by El Machete, a ruthless smuggler who would do anything to get his hands on a super weapon of mass destruction located halfway around the world.
Unbeknownst to them, there was someone else hot on their trail, people and mercenaries from both sides of the coin.
Through their thrilling quest, they learned that they could never trust anyone, even themselves.



I thoroughly enjoyed this debut political thriller from Brad Taylor. His writing was quite reminiscent of Tom Clancy and Vince Flynn, but rougher with an edge. The tactical fights and combat missions discussed and described in the book were realistic; it is clear that the author had done extensive research on military activities.
Overall, the plot was entertaining and the characters were appealing.
