The Making of Brad Lee
Brad Lee’s love for storytelling sparked at age five, when he penned his first tale, 'My First Story,' complete with a hand-drawn cover. His mother’s rave reviews fueled his passion, but life took him through a maze of careers—spanning industries from tech to management—before he returned to writing. These diverse experiences now infuse his novels with real-world grit and authenticity, grounding his espionage adventures in a way that feels vividly human.
Brad Lee’s Unforgettable Stories
Lee’s Unsanctioned Asset series kicked off with A Team of One (2021), introducing retired Navy SEAL Alex 'Axe' Southmark and brilliant intelligence analyst Haley Albright. Set in a chaotic New York City, the novel weaves betrayal, terrorism, and high-stakes heroism into a pulse-pounding narrative. Its sequel, A Team of Two (2021), plunges Los Angeles into technological darkness, testing Axe and Haley’s wits against a shadowy foe. The series, now spanning seven books, is lauded for its non-stop action and dynamic characters, earning comparisons to Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.
The Covert Asset series, starting with Target Redacted, follows long-retired SEAL Thomas 'T-Bone' Marks, a small-town teacher thrust back into the warrior life. This series dives deeper into clandestine operations, with intricate plots and moral dilemmas that keep readers guessing. Lee’s style—marked by sharp dialogue, realistic tradecraft, and relentless suspense—appeals to fans of military thrillers and espionage epics. His ability to craft 'odd couple' dynamics, like the cerebral Haley paired with the battle-hardened Axe, adds humor and heart to the chaos.
