Taylor's eighth Pike Logan thriller (after No Fortunate Son) takes on the extremist group ISIS. Logan's group known as the Taskforce and staffed by his usual team, including Knuckles, Retro, and Jennifer Cahill, is joined by former Mossad agents Aaron and Shoshana to catch the "Lost Boys," a squad of male orphans who were raised in a hellish Christian institution. Terrified and dehumanized by their experience, the Lost Boys escaped and were taken in and trained by an ISIS subgroup to become a U.S.-based terrorist cell. Their assignment is to assassinate an important figure whose murder will demoralize the entire Western world. Logan and crew must identify the target in order to stop this monstrous crime.
VERDICT Strongly recommended for the many fans of the "Logan" series and those who enjoy a breakneck pace. Though the final pages include a moment of implausibility, Delta Force veteran Taylor gives hope for a positive resolution to today's hostilities. [See Prepub Alert, 1/12/15.]
