About the Covert Asset series

A companion series to Brad Lee's Unsanctioned Asset books, Covert Asset follows Thomas "T-Bone" Marks, a long-retired Navy SEAL turned small-town teacher who is pulled back into covert operations, beginning with Target Redacted (2023). The series has also been translated into German (published as Der geheime Agent), reflecting the same reader base built by Lee's first series.
