About the Bear Logan series
Riley "Bear" Logan is a supporting character promoted to lead of his own spin-off thrillers, set within L.T. Ryan's broader Jack Noble fictional universe. A former operative recuperating from injury when the series opens, Logan is pulled from a quiet convalescence in St. Lucia back into black-ops-adjacent danger -- framed for murder, hunted, and drawn into conspiracies that echo the tradecraft-heavy, deniable-operations style of Ryan's flagship Jack Noble series while giving Logan his own standalone arc.
The series ran four solo-authored novels between 2017 and 2020 before Ryan retired the character's solo run and relaunched him in a new co-authored series, Bear & Mandy Logan (written with K.M. Rought, beginning 2021), which pairs Logan with a new partner and is tracked separately as a distinct series with its own numbering.
