Brad Taylor Provides an Insider View into the 16th Pike Logan Thriller, End of Days

Willpower is a core ingredient of many success stories. Staying focused on the end game and pushing away any barriers that stand in your way typically plays out a positive result. However, willpower is taken to a whole new level when under extreme duress, solving difficult problems that impact human lives. New York Times bestselling author and former special operations officer, Brad Taylor, recalls the need to focus beyond the physical aspects of a mission and let willpower take over — you need to want it.

Brad translates this same tenacity into his 16th Pike Logan thriller, End of Days. Fred and Brad discuss the success of his series and share advice for both aspiring writers and corporate security leaders.
