(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Join author Brad Taylor on his latest work Shadow Strike, book #20 of the bestselling Pike Logan series, for a virtual discussion on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at 7:00pm.  The event is presented by the Ocean County Library.

A rogue group of Iranian regime officials create a brazen plot culminating in a devastating attack, and the first step is the assassination of the Israeli prime minister. And there’s only one assassin with the skills to pull it off: Abdul Rahman, known in the shadows as the Ghost. When a routine prison transfer is ambushed, the Ghost escapes and is given the assignment. The only Operator who can hunt him down is the man who stopped him before: Pike Logan.

Pike and his team soon learn that the mission involves something bigger than just the escape of his old enemy. The pursuit leads the Taskforce to Argentina. The chase leads them through the tempestuous waterfalls of Iguazu and the Triple Frontier, to the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, and the tiny village of Ushuaia at the “End of the World." As the team races against the clock, Pike learns the stakes are much greater than a single life – the consequences extend into the heartland of America itself. If Pike fails, the fallout won’t just be personal – it’ll be global.

Shadow Strike is set to release on April 21.
