    About this audiobook

    Former Special Forces Officer and New York Times bestselling author Brad Taylor delivers a heart-pounding thriller where Pike Logan's search for a Mossad agent and ally puts him on a collision course with a ruthless military coup in Africa—and tests his loyalties to the Taskforce.

    It was to be a simple mission. Nothing more than assessing whether a merchant in the fabled Israeli Diamond Exchange was involved in a scheme that could potentially embarrass the state of Israel. But nothing is ever simple in the world of intelligence, as Aaron Bergman—a former leader of an elite direct action team under the Mossad—should have known. Executing the operation as a contractor, a cutout that gave the State of Israel plausible deniability, he disappears without a trace.

    Pike Logan and his team know none of this, but he's tracking an American arms dealer in Tel Aviv who may—or may not—be attempting to sell sensitive nuclear weapons components to the highest bidder. When Pike's team breaks up an attempt at killing Shoshana, Aaron's partner, they stumble upon much more than they expected—a concerted conspiracy to topple a democratic African country.

    Beginning to untangle a web that extends through both the American and Israeli intelligence community, Pike is forced to choose between his Israeli friends and his Taskforce mission, even as the execution of the coup begins to form. At the heart of it is Aaron, and his disappearance is the one mistake the plotters made. Because Shoshana is the greatest killing machine the Mossad has ever produced, and she will stop at nothing to help Aaron, even if it means killing Pike Logan.

    • 4/5
      Operator Down is a good spy novel with intrigue. The best part is that all of the story lines are related and pulled together. There is an ending to the story that is satisfying. Clearly the book was researched extensively. It would appear that the author had a good time writing it. I highly recommend this book.
    • 4/5
      Aaron Bergman embarks on a simple mission, to determine whether an Israeli Diamond Exchange merchant is involved in a potentially embarrassing scheme. As he was acting as a contractor, Israel had plausible deniability. But Aaron disappears. In Tel Aviv, Pike Logan is on the track of an American arms dealer suspected of attempting to sell sensitive nuclear weapons triggers. When Pike and his team foil an attempt to kill Aaron’s partner, Shoshana, they tumble into a conspiracy to topple a democratic African country. As they slowly unravel the tangled web extending through the both the American and Israeli intelligence communities, Pike finds himself faced with choosing between his Taskforce mission and his Israeli friends. And Shoshanna is determined to find Aaron, no matter what the cost.Pike Logan’s latest adventure offers readers all the thrills and pulse-pounding action they have come to expect from a Taskforce tale. With well-drawn characters, a strong sense of place, and a gripping plot, readers will find much to appreciate in this twelfth Pike Logan tale. Recommended.
