Ian Hale was once the deadliest operator of a top-tier private security firm. But after walking away from that world for good, he has no intention of going back. Or so he thinks.

When word reaches Hale of an orphanage caught in the crossfire of a brutal South Sudanese civil war—a war he feels partly responsible for starting—there’s no chance he won’t answer the call. But what starts as a rescue mission quickly turns into something far more dangerous.

The battlefield is crawling with killers—and not just local Sudanese militants. Hale has stumbled headlong into a complex game of geopolitical chess, where rival superpowers are manipulating the conflicts of an impoverished nation in hopes of pillaging its natural resources. When Hale discovers that one of those puppet masters may be his own country, he has one shot to stop a global catastrophe before it ignites.

With only his old partner, Laney Shaw, serving as a lifeline, Hale will fight through a war zone to expose the truth and take the fight to the enemy—because if he fails, thousands will die.

The war is coming. But Ian Hale stands in the gap.

Also known as Line of Fire Book 2.

Logan Ryles

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.
