Peter Nealen is a former Recon Marine, having served his country in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is known for being a voracious reader, with a particular interest in history, philosophy, folklore, science fiction, and fantasy. This love for reading and learning is reflected in his writing, as he is the author of multiple series of thriller novels.
In the military thriller genre, Nealen has written the American Praetorians series and the Brannigan's Blackhearts series. The American Praetorians series follows a private military company made up of former special operations personnel, while the Brannigan's Blackhearts series focuses on a group of former special forces soldiers who work as private contractors. Both series explore the complex and often morally ambiguous world of private military contracting.
In addition to his military thrillers, Nealen has also written several supernatural thriller series. The Jed Horn series follows a supernaturally-gifted individual who must navigate the world of the supernatural while also dealing with his own inner demons. The Unity Wars series, on the other hand, explores a future where humanity has made contact with alien races and must navigate the political and social implications of this contact.
Nealen's writing is informed by his own experiences as a Recon Marine and his love for reading and learning. His works are known for their fast-paced action, well-developed characters, and exploration of complex themes. With his diverse range of series and short stories, Nealen has established himself as a versatile and talented author in the action adventure and supernatural thriller genres.
