"Parate bellum, cum venerit tempus. (Prepare for war when the time comes)" - Jay Roberts
The Raider is a neo-noir action thriller series set in the shadowy underworld of dangerous criminals and mercenaries.
The series follows a middle-aged man/ex-soldier that was forced into action as violent criminals attacked him and his family. Unfortunately for the criminals involved, the man they just crossed wasn't just some regular person, but the dreaded "Raider", a highly skilled private military operator that is infamous in the criminal underworld for his brutality and a no-nonsense attitude toward organized crime. Having lost everything keeping him in peace, he begins a one-man war against the criminals that attacked him and anyone that was involved in it. The sequels expand on Jay's past, his development as the man that he is, and his status in the WTO, a private military company he worked for. 
The Raider series is heavily known for its realistic depiction of over-the-top violence, dramatic scenes with dark comedic elements, and action scenes that utilized advanced gunplay and hand-to-hand combat that is similar to how the real-life military operates. The series can best describe the main protagonist as a man that nobody should cross and as the deadliest man alive in the criminal underworld.
