Adrenaline Rush: Pain Games, the powerful military fiction prequel in Bevin Goldsmith’s acclaimed Adrenaline Rush series, has been honored with the Literary Titan Gold Book Award. This recognition highlights Goldsmith’s exceptional ability to deliver gripping, emotionally resonant storytelling drawn from real-world military experience.
In Adrenaline Rush: Pain Games, readers are transported into the formative years of Katie Molsin, a young soldier whose journey begins the moment she takes the Oath of Enlistment. Thrust into the unforgiving world of basic training, Katie quickly learns to embrace the suck as she transforms from recruit to warfighter. Her path leads her to deployment in Iraq, where her skill, determination, and resilience earn her a place on the elite Female Engagement Teams. Tasked with capturing high-value targets and navigating the relentless pressure of combat, Katie’s journey ultimately brings her to the Special Forces unit known as The Black Devils.
When a deadly terrorist organization threatens American lives, Katie and her team are ordered to eliminate the danger before it escalates. Faced with personal loss, unforgiving odds, and a nearly impossible deadline set by the Ops Commander, Katie leans into her iron resolve. She is driven by a single belief: when dealing with the Black Devils, the cost of penance is high.
Early readers and reviewers have praised Pain Games for its raw authenticity, emotional depth, and compelling narrative voice. Literary Titan describes it as a story that captures the brutality, absurdity, and dark humor of military life, noting its vivid detail, sharp writing, and unapologetically human portrayal of soldiers under pressure. Katie Molsin’s complexity, strength, and vulnerability have resonated with readers who appreciate military fiction anchored in truth and experience.
Goldsmith’s inspiration for the series grew from her own military service and her desire to highlight stories that are too often overlooked. She sought to bring forward a perspective rarely seen in the genre by exploring the lives of women who serve in combat, their resilience, and the emotional realities behind the uniform.
Adrenaline Rush: Pain Games is available now on Kindle and in paperback on Amazon. Readers who enjoy gritty military fiction, adrenaline-fueled action, and complex, fiercely human characters will not want to miss this award-winning installment in the Adrenaline Rush series.
