Synopsis

Taskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are used to putting their lives at risk, but in The Polaris Protocol it' s Jennifer' s brother and countless more innocents who face unfathomable violence and bloodshed. Pike and Jennifer are in Turkmenistan with the Taskforce-- a top-secret antiterrorist unit that operates outside US law-- when Jennifer gets a call from her brother, Jack. Working on an investigative report into 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. The hack allows a user to send false GPS signals, making it possible to manipulate everything from traffic signals and banking wire transfers to cruise missiles, but only while the system' s loophole remains in place.

Here I'll simply say that while the books all have a strong strain of fantas......more

Goodreads review by Jeffrey on January 20, 2014

Brad Taylor's Pike Logan anti-terrorist thriller series travels down the well worn "kidnapping plot" line, but Taylor finds a way to make the familiar new by combining it with an interesting take on using technology against the USA. Pike Logan, his girlfriend Jennifer Cahill, Knuckles, Decoy and Blo......more

Goodreads review by Brent on August 21, 2021

The first half of this book had me thinking this might be my least favorite Pike Logan book. There are story choices in the first half that make it seem like it doesn't even belong in the series. It felt extremely unrealistic (for this series) and sidequesty. Luckily the 2nd half was maybe my favori......more
