Line of Fire

Ian Hale #1 / 5
by Logan Ryles
Line of Fire (Ian Hale #1) by Logan Ryles
Unrated

Betrayed. Hunted. Driven by duty.

Born into a legacy of heroes, Ian Hale ascended from the 75th Ranger Regiment to Delta Force, dedicating his life to the cause of freedom. But when a Black Hawk crash ends his military career, he is left searching for purpose—until Sentinel offers him a fresh start. A private military firm known for its high-stakes operations, Sentinel promises danger and noble causes, the perfect match for his skillset. Or so it seems.

Hale’s latest mission is simple: rescue a kidnapped business executive from South Sudan. But when his team is ambushed and slaughtered, leaving Hale as the sole survivor, he’s forced to confront the truth—he’s been set up. Someone wants his team dead, and they’ll stop at nothing to finish the job.

Now, Hale is a man on the run, hunted by enemies who underestimate his resolve. With only his loyal handler, Laney Shaw, to trust, he launches a one-man war for the truth, uncovering a conspiracy that traces back to the very heart of the nation he so loves.

But Ian Hale was born for this fight, and surrender isn’t an option. It never was.

Logan Ryles, author of the acclaimed Prosecution Force series, returns with a gripping new thriller, Line of Fire—the explosive first installment in the Ian Hale series. Packed with relentless action, high-stakes intrigue, and a hero you won’t forget, this debut is perfect for fans of Brad Thor, Jack Carr, and Jack Slater.

Logan Ryles

In the world of high-stakes thrillers, where a wrong turn can mean death and trust is a currency few can afford, Logan Ryles has carved out a space where danger feels real—and so do the people facing it.

Long before his name appeared on bestseller lists, Ryles was navigating the backroads of Alabama, working jobs that ranged from pizza delivery to alpaca shearing. It’s an unlikely origin story for a writer whose books now echo through the kindles and shelves of action-thriller fans around the world. But those early years—immersed in small-town grit and unpredictable detours—taught him what adrenaline feels like off the page. That same pulse drives the pacing of every novel he writes.

Ryles’s thrillers aren’t just fast—they’re sharp. Series like Mason Sharpe and Reed Montgomery throw readers into tightly wound plots packed with tactical precision, emotional stakes, and characters who are haunted as much as they are heroic. Whether it's a sniper with a code or an ex-operative hunting shadows in his own backyard, the men and women in Ryles’s stories live in a world where violence is a tool, but justice is the goal.

What sets his work apart isn’t just the gunfire or global conspiracies—it’s the human cost woven into each decision. Ryles understands that a good thriller isn’t built on explosions; it’s built on pressure, and how people bend—or break—under it.

His breakout into full-time writing came in 2018, when he left a steady banking career to pursue fiction full-force. Since then, he’s released over 30 novels across interconnected universes, including Wolfgang Pierce and Prosecution Force, which share characters and lore with his core series. His approach is cinematic, his research meticulous, and his storytelling relentless.

Now based in Nashville with his wife and fellow writer Annie Harlow, Ryles balances the chaos of fictional warfare with the quiet rhythm of life in the South—motorcycle rides, saltwater fishing, and the occasional garden project.

For readers who crave thrillers that move fast but cut deep, his work is more than a ride—it’s a reckoning.
