Publisher's summary

In the latest military thriller from the retired Delta Force Operator and New York Times best-selling author, a hostage situation places America's most powerful political elite at the mercy of its worst enemies.

When veteran operator Pike Logan and partner Jennifer Cahill receive a letter from Blaisdell Consulting - the umbrella cover company for their real employer, a top secret counterterrorist unit called the Taskforce - they expect orders for their next mission-impossible tasking. Instead, they learn that their latest actions have gotten them fired, despite having saved thousands of innocent lives. Pike's shock and fury is redirected when their commander Colonel Kurt Hale asks him and Jennifer for help with a personal matter: His niece Kylie, an exchange student in England, has gone missing. Neither Pike nor Jennifer understands how critical her disappearance will become. Meanwhile, all Taskforce teams have been redirected to a developing situation. A terrorist organization has targeted military relatives of key members of the US government, including the vice president's son. Their seizure of hostages was far-reaching and meticulously coordinated, and the full extent of the threat - and potential demands - has thrown the government into turmoil. They face a terrible choice: cease counter-terrorist operations, or watch hostages die one by one. How much is a single life worth? Unless the Taskforce can decipher the web of lies devised by their enemies, the United States is about to find out.

Intense!

Good story and definitely kept me on edge! I just don't see the need for two narrators.

Excellent - one of the best in series

I started at the 'end' of the series and filling in parts when on sale - This gave the backstory of a few characters that show up later in the series and the action is intense and the character development is excellent for later use in other books in the series.

A few parts are 'extreme' in the unbelievable but I am fine with it. Two narrators in this book are 'okay' but not the best.

Overall, Pike continues to develop as a 'person' and his relationship with Jennifer builds with a few new twists.

Excellent book in the series -

Favorite Pike Logan Story!

No Fortunate Son is my favorite Pike Logan story. I’m listening on Audible to the Pike Logan stories in order and this is the 7th full length book in the series. I loved it because it was exciting yet not as graphic as earlier books. I like Brad Taylor’s humor and clever storylines. The storyline of No Fortunate Son was especially exciting because there were so many places of action! Love the narrators!
