New Releases by Brad Taylor

In the early morning hours, deep in the forest, there is something that not many hear anymore. It is the kind of silence that begs one to stop and listen. It is almost as if the Creator himself came to his podium and with a few taps of his baton, called his creation to life. The Chosen Oak was written to help families facing terminal illnesses to be encouraged by the knowledge that God, our Creator, has a purpose and plan for all his children.

In this exhilarating Taskforce short story, Pike Logan’s personal mission to get Jennifer Cahill into the Taskforce becomes tied to an archaeological dig in Roswell, New Mexico, where exposing a conspiracy leads to something much more treacherous than alien cover-ups. After finding the ruins of a Mayan temple—and saving the world from a terrorist attack—Pike Logan has been given the chance to rejoin the Taskforce, a top secret counterterrorist organization that operates outside the bounds of US law. But before he becomes an operator again, he’s determined to get Jennifer Cahill into the Taskforce as well, though no one else seems willing to give a female civilian a shot. Jennifer herself would rather focus on setting up their new company, Grolier Recovery Services, an archaeological research agency that Pike hopes will also serve as a sophisticated cover for future Taskforce missions. When Grolier receives its first job offer to check out a site in Roswell, New Mexico, Jennifer convinces Pike to go. But once they arrive it’s clear that there’s a lot more going on than a simple search for Indian artifacts, and uncovering the secrets carefully guarded out in the desert could not only cost them their future with the Taskforce, but their very lives. Includes an excerpt of the Pike Logan novel, The Forgotten Soldier.

Taskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are used to putting their lives at risk, but in this thrilling New York Times bestseller, one of their own family gets caught up in untold danger... As an investigative reporter working on the Mexican drug cartels, Jack Cahill has unknowingly gotten caught between two rival groups. His desperate call to his sister is his last before he’s kidnapped. In their efforts to rescue Jack, Pike and Jennifer uncover a plot much more insidious than illegal drug trafficking—the cartel that put a target on Jack’s back has discovered a GPS hack with the power to effectively debilitate the United States. With the GPS hack about to be exploited and Jack’s life at stake, Jennifer and Pike must find a way to eliminate the impending threat. The price of failure, for both the Taskforce and the country, is higher than ever.

Includes an excerpt from "The widow''s strike."

Doel: missies uitvoeren buiten de grenzen van de wet. Pike Logan is een van de succesvolste leiders van de Taskforce - tot een tragedie zijn kijk op de wereld verandert...

The first Pike Logan novel from New York Times bestselling author Brad Taylor. They call it the Taskforce. Commissioned at the highest level of the U.S. government. Protected from the prying eyes of Congress and the media. Designed to operate outside the bounds of U.S. law. Trained to exist on the ragged edge of human capability. Pike Logan was the most successful operator on the Taskforce, his instincts and talents unrivaled—until personal tragedy permanently altered his outlook on the world. Pike knows what the rest of the country might not want to admit: The real threat isn’t from any nation, any government, any terrorist group. The real threat is one or two men, controlled by ideology, operating independently, in possession of a powerful weapon. Buried in a stack of intercepted chatter is evidence of two such men. The transcripts are scheduled for analysis in three months. The attack is mere days away. It is their bad luck that they’re about to cross paths with Pike Logan. Because Pike Logan has nothing left to lose.

A collection of jokes, riddles, cartoons, and other humor for family members of all ages.
