A new generation of elite American warriors faces off against an enemy unlike any other

Sons of valor …

Navy SEAL Keith “Chunk” Redman has been one of the military’s top doorkickers since the day he pinned on his trident: loyal, single-minded, lethal. Tasked to lead a new, covert team of Tier One SEALs—the most elite special operators in the world—Chunk can no longer simply rely on the status quo. To safeguard America, he needs help to stay a step ahead of its adversaries.

Brilliant at spotting patterns in the data that others miss, ex–CIA analyst Whitney Watts sees evidence of a troubling link between illicit Chinese arms sales and an attack on a US military convoy in Afghanistan. If she’s right, it would portend not only massive casualties, but a devastating threat to global stability.

Sons of war …

From the ashes of a never-ending war, a new generation of terrorists has arisen: sophisticated, tech-savvy, and hiding in plain sight among America’s allies. Battered by the Taliban and by the West, they call themselves al Qadr—Power and Destiny—and they’re determined to wrest back control of their homeland. Armed with a powerful combat drone, they can strike with deadly precision at US forces in the region—but their ambitions reach far, far beyond that.

A new legacy …

The new Tier One’s first mission will require them to not only prove themselves, but to stop an enemy who’s using military tactics against them. Chunk and his team aren’t just the tip of the spear; they’re America’s first, last, and best counterterrorism defense. And they couldn’t have arrived at a more urgent—and perilous—time.‘’Want a look into the shadowy world of US special operations? Sons of Valor puts you on the front lines. Nobody does action like Andrews & Wilson!'’—Jack Carr, Navy SEAL sniper and New York Times bestselling author of The Devil’s Hand

The series

Full series details →

In the shadows of war zones and beyond the reach of public view, a new generation of warriors steps into the breach. Sons of Valor is more than a modern military thriller series—it’s a pulse-pounding exploration of loyalty, sacrifice, and the quiet code that binds elite operators long after the gunfire fades.

Read full series description

Set in a world where global threats evolve faster than governments can respond, the series introduces a Tier One SEAL team tasked with confronting enemies that don’t play by the old rules. But this isn't just another boots-on-the-ground narrative. At its core, the story follows the next wave of special operations heroes—men forged in the fire of legacy and pressure, striving to live up to the legends who came before them.

Each installment drops readers into high-stakes missions where intelligence and instinct collide, but it's the emotional terrain—the bonds between teammates, the cost of decisions made in the dark—that gives the series its staying power. The action is relentless, but the characters are never just soldiers—they’re brothers, sons, and men navigating a world where justice doesn’t always follow orders.

Written with the precision of authors who’ve lived the life, the series delivers an unflinching portrayal of modern warfare that’s as psychologically tense as it is tactically sharp. The result is a narrative that’s gritty without being gratuitous, cinematic yet grounded in the moral complexity of real-world operations.

For readers drawn to stories that balance kinetic energy with emotional depth—where heroism comes in shades of gray—this is where the next chapter begins.
