The Action Thriller grouping collects 14 of Bernard Lee DeLeo’s novels that sit outside his named character series. These include his earliest published work, Sotello from 2002, along with standalone titles like American Survival, Casserine, and Cold Mountain. The Blood Lust sub-series runs for four connected books published between 2016 and 2022.
The range of subjects within this collection is wider than DeLeo’s character series. Some books lean toward military action, others toward science fiction or historical adventure. What connects them is DeLeo’s focus on protagonists who solve their problems through direct, often violent action. These books offer entry points for readers who want to sample his work without starting a 15-plus book series.
