While on a covert mission in Syria, CIA special operator David Rivers has just discovered the enemy’s newest target…his own family.
David Rivers is an elite-level assassin. A veteran operator who has served as a Ranger, a mercenary, and now as a CIA contractor conducting covert action around the world.
In his secluded mountain home in Virginia, however, David Rivers lives the quiet life of a family man. His cover legend is so strong that even his wife doesn’t know the true nature of his work.
Half a world away, on a mission to assassinate a foreign operative, Rivers uncovers intelligence pointing to an imminent attack on US soil. Now he must hunt down the terrorists before it’s too late.
But there was something impossibly chilling about this particular intel.
The target is in his hometown...
...and David Rivers’ wife and daughter are mentioned by name.
From former Green Beret and USA TODAY best selling author Jason Kasper comes a thriller perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Jack Carr.
The series
In the murky world of covert warfare, there are operations so classified they don’t officially exist—and men trained to vanish before their shadows hit the ground. That’s the brutal, high-stakes terrain the Shadow Strike series plunges into, delivering a relentless blend of psychological intensity, tactical precision, and moral complexity.
Read full series description
Set against a backdrop of global hotspots and political deception, this special ops thriller series follows an elite team operating deep in the gray zone—where laws blur, enemies wear no uniforms, and a single wrong move can trigger a global crisis. These aren’t heroes in the traditional sense. They’re damaged, deadly, and deeply aware that the most dangerous threats often come from within their own ranks.
Each book in the series tightens the screws a little more—layering high-octane action with the kind of emotional tension that lingers. Missions spiral. Loyalties fracture. And beneath the surface-level bravado lies something darker: a reckoning with the toll of violence and the price of silence. It’s this raw, grounded storytelling that keeps readers hooked—not just the explosions, but the aftermath.
Gritty, fast-paced, and unflinchingly real, this is a world where survival means staying invisible, staying sharp, and trusting no one. For fans of military thrillers with a brain—and a body count—the Shadow Strike series hits with the force of a breach charge: sudden, shattering, unforgettable.
