For the best experience, you should read Jay J. Falconer’s Bunker series (also known as the Mission Critical series) in publication order. Because the narrative forms a continuous story following Jack Bunker’s struggles through a global collapse and subsequent foreign invasion, skipping around will leave you lost. The series progresses chronologically, making the order straightforward.
Bunker Publication and Chronological Order
Here is the order of the individual books:
Bunker (also published as Bunker: Born to Fight) (2017)
Dogs of War (2017)
Code of Honor (2017)
Lock and Load (2017)
Zero Hour (2017)
Road to Redemption (2020) - co-authored with Jo Nash
Reading Caveats and Omnibus Editions
If you prefer to read the series in bulk, look for the mega-compilation titled Homeland: Uprising. This collection bundles the first five books of the series into one volume. After reading Homeland: Uprising, you will only need to read Bunker: Road to Redemption to finish the narrative arc.
