**FROM FORMER GREEN BERET AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JASON KASPER**
David Rivers is used to his targets being chosen by the CIA.
But this time, the target has chosen him.
When a senator’s daughter is kidnapped in Benghazi, a Filipino terrorist named Khalil Noureddin claims responsibility and demands to negotiate with only one man: the leader of a CIA team that tried and failed to kill him over a year ago.
David remembers the failure all too clearly. And while his team narrowly escaped a ruthless terrorist force, the attempt catapulted Khalil into international notoriety and caused him to vanish completely—until now.
With David surrendering himself to Khalil to facilitate hostage negotiations, and his team embarking on a harrowing infiltration across Libya to support the rescue effort, the clock is ticking with an innocent woman’s life hanging in the balance.
But capturing a high-profile hostage is just one element of Khalil’s plan.
To uncover a far more insidious plot unfolding in Libya, David’s team will have to negotiate brutal militias, Russian mercenaries, and operatives of a mysterious terrorist syndicate…before it’s too late.
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.
