The Recon series is a four-book military sci-fi series published in 2017, following a reconnaissance unit through dangerous missions in hostile space. A War to the Knife, A Wolf in the Fold, A Battle for the Gods, and A Fight to the Death each take the team deeper into enemy territory.

This is a different series from the later Drop Trooper: Recon spinoff, though both focus on the small-unit reconnaissance missions that Partlow writes well. The 2017 Recon series is one of his earlier multi-book works and helped establish the template for his later series.
