The Journey

I didn’t always know I’d become a writer. For most of my life, I was focused on a different mission, serving in the U.S. Army, where I spent twenty-five years, much of it in Special Forces. That journey carried me around the world, through undeclared skirmishes and combat zones, into quiet moments of reflection, and face-to-face with the complexity of what it means to serve, to trust, and to endure.

It was in those moments, after the dust settled, between deployments, or late at night when the noise finally stopped, that the stories began to take shape. Writing became a way to make sense of what I’d seen and done. Fiction gave me space to explore the gray areas: where loyalty meets betrayal, where missions don’t go as planned, and where even the best intentions can twist into something else.

The Mendacity series was born from those experiences, not as a memoir, but as a reflection of truths that are often easier to face through fiction. I write to offer readers more than just a thrill ride. I want to give them something that feels real—gritty, honest, and grounded in the kinds of decisions that rarely come with clean answers, and that most civilians never see.

If you’re drawn to stories with depth, where the action matters, but the people matter more, then my books are for you.

Please enjoy.

Sincerely,

Bryan Clark

Welcome to the world of Mendacity

Where truth is a weapon, loyalty is tested, and the line between ally and enemy disappears in the shadows.

The Mendacity series blends real-world experience with gripping fiction, following Special Forces operator Brayden Smith as he uncovers a vast web of corruption that stretches from jungle drug routes to war-torn battlefields—and into the heart of U.S. intelligence.

In Book One, Mendacity: America’s Best Are Secretly Dwelling Among You, Brayden confronts the betrayal that festers beneath the surface of the war on drugs. In Book Two, Mendacity II: The Seeds of Corruption, the fight intensifies as the global drug trade collides with the chaos of post-9/11 warfare—and Brayden realizes the enemies he’s been hunting may be working from inside the system.

Currently in development, Book Three takes the series to a whole new level—where a dangerous new element emerges, and the consequences of exposing the truth threaten to tear everything apart. Some battles are fought in the open. Others are buried under decades of silence.

Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about patriotism, power, and the price of staying quiet.
