In April 1970 deep inside Cambodia, Staff Sergeant Chris Hale snaps a photo of an American meeting with a Chinese contact. Discovered, his team escapes, but Hale is left behind and what happens to him, unknown. In 2012 Pike Logan and his partner, Jennifer Cahill, operatives for the Taskforce, a secret intelligence unit running in the basement of the White House, threads together enough facts to conclude there is terrorist organization bent on crippling the U.S. economy with weapons developed by and for American forces.

What follows is an edge-of-your-seat tale of deception and terror as the pair set out to discover who is behind the plot and how to prevent it from happening. Only one huge problem. They are not allowed to carry out their activities on American soil.

Taylor did a first rate job, creating believable and all too human characters (each struggling with their own personal demons) tracking and engaging men of monstrous evil. Without slowing the reading, Taylor supplied enough background and scene details to produce a credible and intriguing scenario.

I quite enjoyed Taylor’s writing style and pleased with how comfortably the story unfolded. Not one wasted word.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good whodunit, spy novel or adventure

All Necessary Force by Brad Taylor is a good novel. If you like Vince Flynn or Brad Thor, you will probably like this book.

The story is about a fictional secret agency in the US government that carries out secret missions to destroy terrorist groups. A terrorist group gets a hold of secret US technology for destroying targets. Think a large targeted claymore mine that can penetrate armor. A US Senator (former CIA agent) is a mole for the Chinese. He is transferring this technology to the Chinese, but it gets stolen by a terrorist group. The story follows the secret group trying to stop the terrorist attack in the US.

Good story & great characters. I really like Pike and Jennifer; they are great together. The only thing I'm unhappy about is waiting for book 3.
