Former Delta Force officer and New York Times bestselling author Brad Taylor delivers a relentlessly fast-paced, gripping thriller featuring Taskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill as they come face-to-face with an insidious threat to strike terror into the heart of America. Fifteen years ago, in order to win a contract in the Kingdom, a desperate defense contractor used a shell company to provide a bribe to a wealthy Saudi businessman. Now a powerful player in the defense industry, he panics when the Panama Papers burst onto the public scene. Providing insight into the illicit deeds of offshore financing, they could prove his undoing. To prevent the exposure of his illegal activities, he sets in motion a plan to interdict the next leak, but he is not the only one worried about spilled secrets. The data theft has left the Taskforce potentially vulnerable, leaving a trail that could compromise the unit. Back in the good graces of the new president, Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are ordered to interdict the next leak as well, in order to control the damage. Unbeknownst to either group, the Saudi has been using the shell company to fund terrorists all over the world, and he has a spectacular attack planned, coinciding with the fifteenth anniversary of 9/11. The information Pike and Jennifer uncover will put them on the trail of the imminent threat, but it's one that they might be unable to stop. Called Ring of Fire, it will cause unimaginable destruction across the United States, and it's already in motion. Pike Logan will be challenged like never before, and the ensuing chaos and terror will distract the Taskforce from a truth no one sees: The Panama Papers hold a secret more explosive than any attack, and Ring of Fire was only the beginning. The danger is far from over... - (Findaway World Llc)

Booklist Reviews

*Starred Review* With Taylor's latest Taskforce novel featuring Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill, he has further established himself as an elite military-thriller author. At this point, nobody is better at tackling hardcore action mixed with timely themes. The Taskforce works in secret, assisting with both assessing and eliminating foreign and domestic terrorist threats. This time the Taskforce itself is under threat, when Logan and his team learn that the release of documents called the Panama Papers may expose the organization to the public. It's up to Logan to find the mole and stop the material from getting published. Meanwhile, a threat to national security places the lives of the entire nation at risk from terrorists who have a bold plan to attack on the anniversary of 9/11. Taylor's background in Special Forces gives his story lines authenticity, and his uncanny sense of tomorrow's headlines makes him seem almost psychic. Fine work from a thriller writer at the very top of his game. Copyright 2016 Booklist Reviews.
