Ty Patterson’s Zeb Carter series is a long-running covert-ops fiction line that started in 2018 and has reached 22 books as of 2026. The series follows its titular character through high-stakes missions described right in many of the subtitles as “Covert-Ops Suspense Action.” Early books like The Peace Killers, Burn Rate, and Traitor set up the series’ tone, while Zero Dark and Incoming carry the action forward through 2020.
As the series progresses, the titles shift to city names that suggest a globe-trotting scope. Moscow, Mumbai, Tehran, Rio, Delhi, London, Kashmir, and Quebec each point to different international settings. Patterson has kept up a steady release pace, putting out at least one or two books a year since the series began. With 22 entries now available, new readers have a substantial backlog to work through, and the series shows no signs of slowing down.
