Jason Kasper is a former U.S. Army Special Forces officer turned thriller writer. His David Rivers character spans two series: the American Mercenary books (2016-2025), following Rivers as a private military contractor, and the Shadow Strike series (2020-2025), where Rivers operates as part of a covert government team.
The two David Rivers series total over 20 books of military action, with Kasper’s real-world Special Forces experience lending authenticity to the combat scenes, team dynamics, and geopolitical settings. His Blair Morgan/Spider Heist series takes a different turn, following a thief through elaborate heist plots across six books.
Kasper’s writing is known for its fast pace, tactical accuracy, and the moral gray areas that come with operating outside official military channels.
