ABOUT HUNTER KILLER: While Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill prepare to join their team on a counter-terrorist mission in the triple frontier—the lawless tri-border region where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay meet—they are targeted in Charleston, SC. A vicious explosion kills a friend, and the perpetrators have set it up to look like an accident. Pike knows the attack was meant for him. When he loses contact with the team, Pike is convinced he and the Taskforce are under assault. His men are the closest thing to family that Pike has, which means he will do anything to find them. Pike and Jennifer head to Brazil to investigate their disappearance and run headlong into a crew of Russian assassins. The Russians are the equal of anything the Taskforce has encountered before, but they make a mistake in attacking Pike’s team, because Pike has a couple of elite Israeli assassins of his own.
