The Jason Conrad Thriller series by Michael Byars Lewis follows a Special Forces operative drawn into dangerous assignments spanning international settings. Lewis uses his military aviation background to ground the series in realistic detail, from equipment and tactics to the psychological demands placed on soldiers operating in high-risk environments.
The series began in 2012 with Surly Bonds and expanded over the following decade with four additional entries. The books feature standalone missions while building on Conrad’s personal history and the relationships that shape his decisions under pressure. Lewis delivers fast-paced plots with a focus on authentic military procedure that distinguishes the series from more formulaic action fiction.
