The Bodyguard Original series consists of 12 books published between 2013 and 2018. The premise follows a teenager recruited by a covert organization to serve as a bodyguard for young people in danger. The logic is simple: adults overlook teenagers, making them ideal undercover protectors.
Chris Bradford drew on research into real close-protection techniques to create the series. Each book sends the protagonist to a different country with a new assignment, mixing martial arts action with espionage and high-stakes protection missions. The series proved popular with young readers who enjoy fast-paced adventure stories.
