Dave Daren’s JAG Lawyer series brings the legal thriller into the military justice system. Starting in 2022, the five-book series follows a Judge Advocate General attorney handling cases that range from courts-martial to national security matters. The military setting adds its own set of rules and pressures that civilian legal thrillers do not have, including chain-of-command politics and the unique procedures of military courts.
The series has grown steadily, with new installments arriving roughly once a year through 2025. Readers who enjoyed the premise of A Few Good Men or who are curious about how military law works will find a lot to like here. Daren keeps the focus on the legal drama rather than combat, but the military backdrop gives every case additional weight.
