The Valor series is Josh Hayes’s solo military science fiction work, launched with Edge of Valor in 2019. The first book was a finalist for the Dragon Award for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel in 2020, putting Hayes on the map as a rising voice in the genre.
The core trilogy consists of Edge of Valor, Echoes of Valor, and Enemy of Valor, all published between 2019 and 2020. The series puts soldiers in futuristic combat situations where training, teamwork, and willpower are tested to the limit. Hayes draws on his time in the Air Force and law enforcement to ground the action in realistic tactical thinking, even when the setting is far removed from present-day Earth.
The series also includes additional entries like Valor: D.o.A. and End of an Era. For readers who enjoy military sci-fi that prioritizes combat realism and character under pressure, the Valor series is a strong choice in the genre.
