Q: What should I read first by Brad Lee?

Start with the Unsanctioned Asset series, since it is the first on file, then read it in publication order.

Brad Lee has 7 known credited books (7 published) across 2 series. Start with Unsanctioned Asset.

Brad Lee is a self-published American thriller author of two military/espionage series: Unsanctioned Asset, beginning with A Team of One (2021) and following retired Navy SEAL Alex "Axe" Southmark, and the companion Covert Asset series, beginning with Target Redacted (2023) and following retired SEAL-turned-teacher Thomas "T-Bone" Marks. His books draw retailer and reader comparisons to Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Tom Clancy for their fast-paced, mission-driven plotting and retired-special-operator premises, and have reportedly drawn over 17,000 reader reviews across platforms. Beyond that, very little verifiable biographical information about Brad Lee is publicly available. His own author site describes him only as someone who lives on a farm and pursues wildlife and nature photography as a hobby; no real name, hometown, or professional background is confirmed anywhere in his own promotional materials or in independent coverage. "Brad Lee" may be a pen name rather than the author's given name, though this is not confirmed either way. This entry is deliberately limited to what can be verified, rather than speculating about his identity.
