The Search and Destroy series by Joshua Hood is a two-book military action thriller duology that launched his writing career. Clear by Fire (2015) was Hood’s debut novel, drawing on his firsthand experience serving with the 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq and Afghanistan and working as a sniper instructor.

Warning Order (2016) continues the story, putting the protagonist into another high-stakes military operation. Hood writes action sequences with the kind of tactical precision that comes from real combat experience. The books move fast and don’t waste time on anything that isn’t driving the plot forward.

The Search and Destroy duology led to Hood’s later work on the Robert Ludlum Treadstone series and his standalone novels The Guardian and Burn Out. Readers who enjoy the genre should start here to see where Hood’s career began.
