Drop Trooper: Recon is a four-book spinoff published in 2023, following a reconnaissance unit operating behind enemy lines. The books focus on small-unit tactics, stealth, and the dangers of operating far from support.

Starting with Recon and continuing through The Hunter, The Mercenary, and The Operative, the series offers a different flavor from the main Drop Trooper books. Where the parent series covers large-scale battles, Recon stays close to a small team and the tension of covert operations.
