"I enjoyed the first effort from Brad Taylor. The main character Pike Logan works in a elite underground unit taking down terrorists. While away on a mission his wife and daughter are brutally murdered and he falls into a deep depression. By coincidence he helps save a young woman who is in the process of being kidnapped and is inadvertently drawn into stopping a major terrorist attack while being hunted by the terrorists and members of his own government. Good action and while some of the plot seems way to coincidental it's a good first effort."

    — John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author

    " One Rough Man was pretty good. Have enjoyed this genre through David Baldacci, Vince Flynn, etc. Brad Taylor good addition. Took a few chapters to really get into it, but kept me up nights after that. Spends lot of time describing weapons. Is that something guys appreciate? Some pretty graphic descriptions of fights and torture. The narrator was not one I would have chosen. I appreciated his respectful dealing with the female character. Did not appreciate his liberal use of "Jesus..." as swear word. "

    " This was a great book! The author's first book, and as an added bonus, he is from Charleston. It is fun to read about a place you know, as it is easy to visualize. He has a good writing style and the hero is similar to Mitch Rapp on steroids. I will look forward to the next attempt. "
