Peter Nealen

Normally folks seem to recommend a book, or series. I'm going to go out on a limb (as I haven't read all his books yet) and recommend an author.
Don't know the guy, or anything about him beyond the short blurb google provides.

Read his "The Lost" series first. I wasn't moved by his prose, nor was I knocked off my feet by his angle of attack at a relatively small genre. But I did like his style, and I really liked the Christian bent to the literary arch of the series. Impressed actually, so after reading all the available books in that series I looked to see what else he had out there. I'm working my way through his "Maelstrom Rising" series now, and I can't recommend them highly enough. He paints a pretty accurate picture, as to who the real life good guys and bad guys are, in a not too distant future that is terrifyingly plausible.

He doesn't focus on the gun gack, but what is there is correct. I can't comment on the accuracy of some of the other stuff, as I'm not prior service. But I can tell you 100% he gets the politics right, domestic and global, at least as I as far as this interested and informed as I can be layman can tell.

As we move into the winter months, some of us will have more down time beside a fire with a drink of choice at hand. In the event anybody is interested I figured I'd do him a solid and toss it out there. If in a future book or series he takes a bent towards woke, pûssy bullshît I'll eat my crow.

I don't usually read fiction, but I'm going to take a look at this. Thanks for posting it.

Hope you enjoy the series as much as I am. Closing in on end of book 3. I’m a nerd enough to be super content and happy knowing I’ve got another 5 books in front of me.

Thanks.

You bet.

Nealen is a solid author. I haven't read his Unity War series, but I've read all the rest. American Praetorians takes place in conjunction with the events in Maelstrom Rising.

In a similar vein Jason Kasper has the David River "American Mercenary" series which is a pretty good read.

American Praetorians was going to be next on my reading list.

I'm waiting on the next book in the series to hit Kindle Unlimited.

Thanks I’m always looking for good fiction.

Thanks.

Gonna try the Maelstrom Rising series.

Thanks BGG I will check out your suggestions. Here are a couple of authors I would recommend - Ken Follett and Brad Thor.
