R.D. Brady writes fast-paced thrillers that mix ancient mysteries with modern-day action. The Belial series, which started in 2013 with The Belial Stone, is the backbone of Brady’s catalog. Over 14 books, the series follows characters who stumble onto a conspiracy involving powerful artifacts and organizations with roots in the ancient world. The sequel series, Belial Rebirth, picks up where the original left off and runs to 18 books, wrapping up in 2025 with The Belial End.

Beyond the Belial books, Brady has written in a range of related genres. The A.L.I.V.E. series deals with genetic experiments and covert programs. The Nola James series follows a protagonist facing down her own fears while caught up in dangerous situations. The Gates of Artemis brings mythology into the thriller formula, while the Steve Kane books lean more toward straightforward action. Smaller series like H.A.L.T., The Unwelcome Trilogy, The Vostok Virus, The Shadow Directive, and The Ancestral Code each explore different corners of sci-fi and suspense.

Brady also has a handful of standalone novels, including The Vienna Deception and Operation Kringle, plus contributions to the Frontiers of Speculative Fiction anthology series. With over 60 books published since 2013, Brady has been remarkably productive, releasing several titles per year.
