Publication Date: April 22, 2025
Pike Logan uncovers a geopolitical scheme that has spiraled out of control in India in this latest pulse-pounding thriller from New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer Brad Taylor.Â
While on a routine security assessment in India, Taskforce operator Pike Logan foils an attempted attack on a meeting between the CIA and India’s intelligence service. Both government agencies believe it’s nothing more than a minor terrorist attack, but Pike suspects that something much more sinister is at play. After another terrorist operation at the Taj Mahal, he begins to believe that outside powers are attacking India in the gray zone between peace and war, leveraging terrorist groups for nothing more than economic gain. But the separatists conducting the operations have their own agenda.
After a massive slaughter and kidnapping of hostages during an elaborate Indian pre-wedding party, two global powers are destabilized, and only Pike Logan and his team can de-escalate the tension by rescuing the captives. What follows is a race against the clock that winds through the bustling markets of Old Delhi, the luxurious resorts of Goa, and the epic halls of the Taj Mahal. It will take everything that Logan and the taskforce have to foil an intricate plot that leaves countless lives in the balance.
Pike Logan returns for another international adventure, this time set against the delicate line between war and peace in India.
Author Brad Taylor amps up the thrills with Into the Gray Zone. Narrated in first-person by Pike, the story alternates with a nefarious revenge plot that eventually leads to a direct confrontation.
Thanks to the author’s meticulous research, the disparities within the Indian population are well illustrated. Since Pike and his team are investigating what they believe are more than just terrorist attacks, it helps to have credible details.
Pike’s character continues to elevate military action as a fine art, combining humor with top-level operative skills. The latest adventure incorporates hybrid warfare, an alternative to old-fashioned battles fought in person.
Into the Gray Zone serves up a satisfying military thriller featuring hostages, intrigue, and a race against the clock.
