New York Times Bestseller Brad Taylor in Milton Jan. 27 With New Book

Brad Taylor, author of the blockbuster Pike Logan series, will appear at the Milton Library Saturday, Jan. 27, at 4 p.m. Hosted by A Novel Idea, Taylor will be discussing and signing his latest military thriller, “Dead Man’s Hand,” released just four days earlier and, thanks to Bookmiser, available for purchase and personalizing at the event.

A 21-year veteran of the U.S. Army Infantry and Special Forces, including eight years with Delta Force, Taylor serves as a security consultant on asymmetric threats for various agencies when he isn’t writing. When he is, he’s penning intricate storylines packed with authenticity for readers who “love the ticking-clock action,” according to Kirkus Reviews. And, with over 3 million books in print, Taylor’s fast-paced, informed approach is a proven winner.

“Dead Man’s Hand,” the 18th novel in the series, is a propulsive and topical edge-of-your-seat thriller featuring Pike Logan as he goes head-to-head with Vladimir Putin’s henchmen.

To finally end the war between their nations, a rogue band of Ukrainian partisans known as the Wolves teams up with members of Russia’s military intelligence to assassinate Putin.

But Putin is aware of the traitors in his midst and assigns the loyal commander of the Russian National Guard to root them out. It’s a mission Victor Petrov is expected to undertake after he prevents Sweden from joining NATO – by assassinating a deputy minister of foreign affairs.

After receiving intelligence about the threat in Sweden, the United States sends Pike Logan to identify Petrov’s target – only for him to get caught in the crossfire between Putin’s agents and the Wolves. When the smoke clears, Pike makes no effort to stop the Wolves on their ultimate mission, believing it just, until he discovers that their operation has unimaginable consequences.

That’s because Putin is preparing a devastating endgame: activating the Dead Man’s Hand nuclear response that will launch Russia’s missiles in the event of his death.

While the event is free, registration is requested here.
