Jake Sloan Adventures

Here is a book I enjoyed reading...

Something in the same genre I am writing in, but geared for the adult audience.  He published his debut novel about the same time I did mine. 

This is Brad Taylor's debut novel, One Rough Man.  His main character is Pike Logan, a man on-par with Jason Bourne, Alex Cross, Jack Bauer, and Ethan Hunt.  Pretty good storyline, excellent action, solid dedication to character development.  I will certainly go buy his next two novels (I'm a little busy writing the next two of mine at the moment). 

Mr. Taylor's Amazon write-up:

Brad was born on Okinawa, Japan, but grew up on 40-acres in rural Texas. Graduating from the University of Texas, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Infantry. Brad served for more than 21 years, retiring as a Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel. During that time he held numerous Infantry and Special Forces positions, including eight years in 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta where he commanded multiple troops and a squadron. He has conducted operations in support of US national interests in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other classified locations.

His final assignment was as the Assistant Professor of Military Science at The Citadel in Charleston, SC. He holds a Master's of Science in Defense Analysis from the Naval Postgraduate School, with a concentration in Irregular Warfare. When not writing, he serves as a security consultant on asymmetric threats for various agencies. He lives in Charleston, SC with his wife and two daughters.

Subsequent books (which I have not read yet, but wish to, soon) include:

All Necessary Force  and Enemy of Mine (both published in 2012)
