A rebel biker on the run. An outlaw motorcycle club in turmoil. A violent past that haunts them all.

Austin Conrad narrowly survived the opening salvo in the war against his former brothers in the Rattlers Motorcycle Club. A war that started when the MC’s ruthless leader crossed a line that even Austin’s questionable morals could not condone. Now both sides are gathering their strength, plotting their next move, coiling to strike. The adventure moves from the gritty streets of Las Vegas to lonely desert outposts and the seedy underbelly of inland Southern California. Austin is in a race against time to dismantle the MC’s nefarious plot before it can destroy more lives. Along the way, dark secrets from the past begin to surface, calling into question everything Austin thought he knew about brotherhood, family, loyalty and honor.

Blood Out is the third book in the Austin Conrad Thrillers series. If you like fast-paced adventure, vividly real settings and a flawed but unstoppable antihero, then you’ll love this action-packed thriller from breakout author Dusty Sharp.

Download Blood Out today and find out why readers are hailing Austin Conrad as “Jack Reacher meets Sons of Anarchy!”

Warning: Contains violence, profanity and irreverence, in equal measure.

Thank you for your interest in my books! I love to write action-packed vigilante justice thrillers that dig into the seedy underbelly of society. I try to create characters that live and breathe on the page, and surprise you rather than always fitting into a stereotype. I believe there is some good and evil in everyone, and my characters, both the good guys and the bad, struggle with that dichotomy. I also strive for gritty realism in my settings, shying away from the glamour and bright lights to dive deep into the back alleys and mean streets. My stories have been called a cross between Jack Reacher and Sons of Anarchy, a comparison that I don't refute though I'm always striving to break free of any such classification

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping series!
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2019

I just finished reading "Blood Out" the third book (so far!) in the Austin Conrad series. It is a gripping story of loyalty lost, revenge, intrigue and an outlaw's sense of "crossing the line" into an illegal activity he couldn't condone.
Austin is a man who has been involved in running drugs, illegal immigrants, and other activities, including murder. Most of these killings are of ruthless MC members whether of Austin's club or a rival club's members. Some of the descriptions can be gruesome.
But, given the subject matter, I liked Austin. He was loyal to his friends, until they crossed his internal moral line. He was thoughtful, methodical, very capable. He wasn't depicted as a 30's something, muscle bound, God like character, but as a man in his late 40's, a little overweight, a little unkempt. A man who tended to business in a single minded fashion.
I rapidly read the first two books in this series but took frequent breaks with Blood Out. Not because of the sometimes brutal killings, but because I didn't want the story to end! It's that good.
Dusty Sharp's writing style is smooth, descriptive and to the point. No repetitive fillers. Definitely fitting into the personality of Austin Conrad.
I don't want to tell you the story. I want you to read it for yourself. It's a story and character you will enjoy and won't forget!

I want to say I loved this book, but if you read it you will realize that's a really strange thing to say. I even feel a little weird saying that I enjoyed it because it is a violent, profanity-ridden, intense, dark, and any other descriptive term you can come up with to describe a book where even the "hero" is a very violent person. It is also a book that grabs you on the first page and doesn't let go until the last. Since it is the 3rd book in the Conrad series I was very familiar with the situations Austin gets himself into and the "hands-on" way in which he gets himself out of them. I will warn you about one thing - if you are squeamish, you may want to skim through Austin's "interaction" with Mar-vel. It is definitely not for the faint-of-heart!! But don't miss out on this series; just don't expect fairy tales or HEA. It's not here. Still an awesome series!

First off, I will say that I also read the first two "books" in the series, but as you might guess from my use of quotation marks, I have a quibble. The first one (Blood Brothers) barely clocked in at an hour's reading. In my world, that's not a book - it's a novella. The same was true for the second one (No Time To Bleed). It was also a novella in disguise. They should have been part of this book. Eliminating the retelling of details that a series requires would have made it a smooth book.I

So picking this up, I've got an automatic expectation that I'm about to be shortchanged again. Fortunately. The Kindle suggested that more time would be required, so I felt freed up enough to just read. It kept my attention to the end. I'll give it that. But I there were a few issues that had me question whether I'll bite for the next book.

First, knowing it's a series, there's ultimately no suspense about the hero escaping traps and ambushes. He will. No question. How he does gives the author some wiggle room - but as a reader, I know he's gonna live. And that messes with real suspense.

Second, this is not a nice guy. Almost an anti-hero, and Lord knows, we seem to celebrate badasses. But now that I've been through the series to date, since I'm not a biker, I wasn't Special Forces, and I'm not certain his supposed j

These books are similar to the TV show "Sons of Anarchy" in that there is lots of action, lawless business's and brutal lifestyle but there is one man that has a line that he won't cross. Austin isn't an upstanding citizen but has a conscience. You will enjoy these books and if nothing else you will enjoy the murder, mayhem and massacres. I enjoyed the book, the action and the glimpse of a life I wouldn't want to live but found interesting to read about.

A very intense read. Action packed edge of your seat page turning suspense. This book is well paced. Getting out of the Rattlers MC was not as easy as Austin thought. Tillman, president of the biker gang does not like loose ends. Is there is honor among thieves? Who can Austin trust? He needs to find Tillman's strong hold where he keeps the girls before it's too late or will he die trying. A very exciting read. I highly recommend this book.

Austin is the bad guy with feelings; unless you do him wrong. Then he becomes your worst enemy. Lots of action with a good amount of gore in this one but that seems to be par for the course with Austin.

Thanks to Dusty Sharp for giving us a full length story this time. The first two novellas were barely enough to wet the appetite.

I choose 4 because the books kept me wanting to keep reading. I will pretty much read any kind of book that has anything to do with riding harleys and bikers an such. Having Austin being army guy and a paratrooper which my son was and a family that rides harleys reading about how people write different stories is very interesting and fun.
I would like to know where Austin's mom is,(did I miss it?),why he never really hooked up with Frankie and why don't she try and make him a bit jelious? What happened to Gene and Doris? There are allot of questions I would like to have answered hopefully find out in another book. But All 3 of my 1St ever read Dusty Sharp books I really enjoyed, I couldn't stop reading them, I had to know what happened next, why was Conrad who was ex Military and had so many good things going running with the bad guys? What is after book 3?
