The Devil's Ransom

A Pike Logan Novel

De: Brad Taylor

Narrado por: Rich Orlow

A New York Times Bestseller!

In the latest explosive thriller from New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer Brad Taylor, Pike Logan races to stop an insidious attack orchestrated by a man who knows America’s most treasured secrets.

Conducting a routine cover development trip to Tajikistan, Pike and Jennifer learn that Afghanistan has fallen, and there’s a man on the run. One that has done more for the United States in Afghanistan than anyone else. Pulled in to extract him, Pike collides headlong into a broader mystery: his covert company, along with every other entity in the Taskforce, has been hit with a ransomware attack, and there’s some connection between the Taliban and the hack.

Given the order to track down the perpetrators, he has no idea that the problem set is much, much larger and more dangerous than a simple attack on his organization. That hack was just a test-run, and the real one is coming soon, engendered by a former NSA specialist in the U.S. government.

A man who wants to return to the bipolar world of the Cold War, the turncoat has cloaked his attack behind hackers from Serbia and Russia, and if successful, his target will alter the balance of power on the global stage. So far, the specialist has remained one step ahead of the Taskforce, but he has just made one massive mistake: hitting Pike Logan.

Brad Taylor never disappoints and this story might be my favorite.
Rich Orlow is THE VOICE of this series and is masterful with each of the regular and guest characters.
I highly recommend the series.
I love that Brad and his wife visit each foreign setting to ensure accuracy and to find unique and interesting backdrops for the Task Force.

another great one

I like Pike. I enjoy these books and can't wait for the next book in the series!

Great realism and setting

Taylor writes characters who have a gritty realism.
I always enjoy how he integrates Pike's instincts into the story. Great work!

Good and engaging story

Recommended by Bill O’Reilly. I enjoyed the story with its nested stories interwoven throughout. An interesting technique the author uses is to double back to tell the story from the perspective of other characters within a “scene”.

Computer snafu

Loved it. So many different trails to follow and so little time. Pike always comes through.

Best one yet

Seriously good character development, enrichment, truth to form. Really good wrestling with some ethics. Hit me hard.

Plot and the characters were fantastic

I was so immersed in the story I couldn't stop listening until it was over. The narrator did a great job.

My favorite author by far!

We all need a Pike in our lives. The lessons we could learn. Can't wait for the next book!

great listen

Another great Pike Logan thriller! can't wait for the next one! keep them coming.
