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.

How many Covert Asset books are there?

Two confirmed as of this curation (August 2026): Target Redacted (2023) and Target Unknown (2024); a third book had been referenced as forthcoming on the author's site but no confirmed title or date was found.
