​
Before Captain Jake Baylor became the leader of Task Force Raven, Texas' elite counterterrorism unit, he was a Green Beret with ODA 911, fighting on the front lines of America's longest war. Raven’s Wrath is a relentless, high-octane military thriller that takes readers deep into the brutal, unforgiving battlefields of Afghanistan—where only the strong survive, and the mission always comes first.
Assigned to disrupt enemy supply lines, Baylor and his Special Forces team uncover intelligence that reveals a far greater threat: a ruthless warlord with ties to international terrorist networks. As ODA 911 hunts their target through the treacherous mountains, what begins as a surgical strike escalates into an all-out fight for survival. Ambushed, outnumbered, and cut off from support, Baylor must rely on his leadership, combat skills, and the unbreakable bond with his team to complete the mission.
This gripping prequel sets the stage for the Task Force Raven series, showcasing the origins of Jake Baylor’s relentless pursuit of justice. Raven’s Wrath is an explosive, heart-pounding journey into the mind of a warrior—before the battle followed him home.
BOOK 1
REAPER
After a devastating terrorist attack on a U.S. Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas kills dozens including his best friend Clint McNamara, Major Jake Baylor and elite Task Force Raven spring into action.
What appears to be a cartel assault is actually a diversion allowing ISIS operative Abu Waleed Hassan "The Reaper" and his jihadists to slip across the border undetected. As Baylor's team of Texas Rangers with special operations backgrounds tracks the terrorists, they operate in bureaucracy's shadows, caught between political agendas and preventing another attack.
From interrogating cartel operatives to conducting off-the-books operations in Mexico, Task Force Raven follows breadcrumbs to Hassan's deadly plot. When suicide bombers strike San Antonio's Riverwalk killing hundreds, the clock ticks toward an even more catastrophic attack on Houston's petrochemical infrastructure.
In this high-stakes thriller blending military action with law enforcement tactics, Baylor confronts both external threats and his own grief. As federal agencies squabble over jurisdiction, Task Force Raven operates under Texas Governor Robert Williamson's directive: "Find them, and make sure they can never hit us again."
With time running out, Baylor needs every skill from his Texas Rangers and Special Forces background to bring the terrorists to justice—or stop them permanently.
