American Traitor is frighteningly realistic and will cause a lot of sleepless nights in Washington. Brad Taylor is the best action writer in the business today, and Pike Logan is the right hero for our time. --William H. McRaven, Adm, U.S. Navy (Ret.) and author of Make Your Bed A memorable cast, powerful action scenes, and authentic tradecraft... Taylor reinforces his place as a major player in the military action genre. --Publishers Weekly It is [Taylor's] remarkable character work with a robust and memorable cast that is the true strength of the novel. The camaraderie of the battle-hardened operators..., their staunch loyalty... and their stalwart sense of shared duty ultimately make for a big-hearted novel, even amid its many pulse-pounding moments. --Charleston Post & Courier Taylor, a retired Special Forces lieutenant colonel, has a good grasp of the geopolitical backdrop of his stories, and this knowledge gives his books a solid layer of plausibility. The high-energy writing also helps sell the story and characters. This is a series that has earned its popularity. --Booklist Taylor, who relies on his own elite experience in the Special Forces for both detail and authenticity, has never been better, and neither has his literary doppelganger, Pike Logan. --Providence Journal
