Don Bentley recommends

The Most Dangerous Man (2026)
Jack Murphy
"Jack Murphy breathes new life into an old classic. The Most Dangerous Man does not disappoint!"

The Survivor (2026)
Andrew Reid
"The Survivor is a gut punch of a thriller that takes readers on a terrifying ride down a dark tunnel of dead bodies, malevolent secrets, and a sinister past all bound together by a ticking time bomb. Highly recommended!"

Red Tide (2025)
M P Woodward
"Simply superb. In Red Tide, M.P. Woodward delivers an epic tale reminiscent of Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising masterpiece. Military thriller aficionados rejoice--this is what you've been waiting for!"

Dark Vector (2025)
(David Slaton and Tru Miller, book 1)
Ward Larsen
"Dark Vector lights off the afterburners on page one and never slows back. Fans of Craig Thomas's classic Firefox will love this contemporary tale of a Russian defector, a top-secret plane, and the American spy who must risk everything to recover both. Pure, unadulterated fun!"

What Is Mine (2024)
Lyn Liao Butler
"What Is Mine features Lyn Liao Butler at her very best. This twisty page-turner plays on every parent's darkest fears by evoking a scenario in which nothing is as it seems, and no one can be trusted. In the crowded field of domestic thrillers, Butler delivers!"

Unknown Rider (2023)
(Battle Born , book 1)
Jack Stewart
"Stewart firewalls the throttles with the first sentence and keeps the afterburners howling until the end."

The Long March Home (2023)
Marcus Brotherton and Tosca Lee
"Simply magnificent."

The Guilty One (2023)
Bill Schweigart
"The Guilty One is the perfect kind of crime novel. Crackling with suspense and chock full of compelling characters, this book grabs you by the throat and never lets go. I absolutely loved it!"

The Body Man (2021)
(Body Man, book 1)
Eric P Bishop
"In a crowded field of today's political thrillers, The Body Man will keep you guessing until the final page."

Dark Intercept (2021)
(Shepherds, book 1)
Andrews & Wilson
"In Dark Intercept, Andrews & Wilson flawlessly weave a tale of spiritual and natural warfare as riveting as it is inventive. By combining the grittiness and veracity of their bestselling military thriller series with an unabashed focus on the eternal struggle between light and darkness, Andrews & Wilson inject a shot of adrenaline into faith-based fiction. Frank Peretti has company!"

Down Range (2021)
(Garrett Kohl, book 1)
Taylor Moore
"A stunning debut, as wild and beautiful as the Texas High Plains in which it’s set, Down Range turns the thriller genre on its head. Stretching from Kabul to Amarillo, Moore’s yarn is chock-full of gripping action, white-knuckled suspense, and, most important, heart."

Savage Son (2020)
(James Reece, book 3)
Jack Carr
"Jack Carr triples down with SAVAGE SON. From the book’s gut-wrenching opening to its sleep-stealing conclusion, Jack’s homage to THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME delivers the goods and then some."
