On the fiction side, Grylls has written several children’s series. The Bear Grylls Adventures (twelve books) and Mission: Survival (eight books) are aimed at younger readers who enjoy outdoor action stories. The Beck Granger Adventures and New Jungle Book Adventures add more titles to his children’s fiction output. For adult readers, the Will Jaeger series offers a four-book thriller run starting with Ghost Flight (2015).
