Patrick Lee’s first novel, The Breach (2009), made IndieBound’s Indie Next List and hit the USA Today bestseller list within its first month — a strong debut that established the tone he’d maintain across his thrillers. The book follows Travis Chase discovering a secret government installation and a decades-long war over its contents.
The Travis Chase trilogy wraps up with Deep Sky (2011), and Lee then introduced Sam Dryden — a former soldier who encounters young girl with extraordinary abilities being hunted by unknown parties — in Runner (2014). Both series combine action thriller pacing with science fiction elements, keeping one foot in plausible government conspiracy and another in technology that borders on the impossible. His standalone novel for younger readers, Wild Night, came out in 2022.
