Delta Force Books in Order

Dalton Fury's Delta Force series drops readers into the world of Kolt "Racer" Raynor, a hard charging operator who lives with the consequences of one catastrophic mission. These books follow his climb back from disgrace into the center of some of the most sensitive operations the United States can mount.

The story starts in Black Site, where Kolt has been pushed out of Delta after a decision in Pakistan cost several teammates their lives and left others missing. When hints emerge that some of those men might still be alive, he is pulled out of exile and sent alone into Pakistan's lawless border region to confirm the intel, rescue his friends and uncover an al Qaeda plan to seize a secret American prison.

In Tier One Wild, Kolt has earned his way back into the unit, but the stakes rise. An American born jihadist, Daoud al Amriki, has secured Russian shoulder fired missiles and is training English speaking fighters to strike civilian airliners. Kolt and his team move from hijacked planes in India to the streets of Cairo and the Mexican border, working alongside SEAL Team Six while racing an enemy who knows their playbook.

Full Assault Mode pushes the series into nuclear territory. After intelligence pulled from Osama bin Laden's compound reveals a plot against U.S. nuclear power plants, Kolt is nearly forced out of Joint Special Operations Command for disobeying orders. Instead he joins an ultra secret cell called Tungsten, goes undercover inside al Qaeda and tries to stop a radiological attack from the inside out.

Later books widen the lens even more. In One Killer Force, Washington politics threaten to mash Delta and the SEALs together into a single unit just as a new terror network chases nuclear weapons. Kolt, still recovering from serious wounds, is sent from Syria to Ukraine and beyond, while fellow operator Cindy "Hawk" Bird fights to become one of the first women to serve on the sharp end of missions that may never officially exist.

The companion novella All Lines Black centers on a Syrian militant leader who claims he wants to defect from ISIS. He demands a brutal price first, setting up Kolt and his squad for an ambush inside a city controlled by enemy fighters. In the closing novel, Execute Authority, Kolt protects a controversial U.S. president overseas when an assassin kills the Greek prime minister, then tracks the sniper across borders in a personal cat and mouse hunt that eventually comes home to American soil.

Across the series, readers can expect fast pacing, blunt dialogue and a heavy dose of real world detail about weapons, aircraft and special operations planning. Underneath the firefights, though, the books keep circling the same questions: how a leader earns back trust after failure, what it means to send friends into danger and how long someone can live at full throttle before the job takes everything they have.
