The Jack Tate series is Alex Shaw’s most commercially successful work, with three books published between 2020 and 2022. Tate is a former SAS operative whose skills make him the go-to man when the British government faces threats that require a direct, hands-on response.
The series has a stripped-down, action-forward style. Shaw keeps the plots moving at speed, with Tate bouncing between locations as each mission escalates. The books reflect the current threat landscape, with storylines that feel ripped from today’s headlines.
