It's become pretty standard for high profile authors like Brad Taylor to release these short eBooks in the weeks prior to releasing a major new novel. My experience has been pretty mixed - some are good, most are average, a few have been awful - but the Taskforce stories released by Taylor are among the ones I've enjoyed the most and BLACK FLAG is no exception.In BLACK FLAG, Taylor wastes no time placing Pike, Jennifer, Knuckles and Brett in harm's way - and of course the thrill is reading how they dispense their own brand of justice (read: retaliation) in return.You don't need to have read previous books in the Pike Logan series to enjoy this - just don't go looking for a lot of character development or deep philosophical discussions. Pike Logan's world is very black and white - there's right and wrong, good guys and bad guys, and then there's Pike, the good guy willing to do bad things because sometimes it's necessary.If you enjoy reading thrillers with protagonists with that worldview then you should be reading Brad Taylor - or said another way: if you're a fan of fictional heroes Mitch Rapp, Scot Harvath or Gabriel Allon then you should be a fan of Pike Logan as well.
