Last, but certainly not least, thank you to my wife, Kosia. None of this would be possible without your tireless support, endless ideas, and dead-on critique.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Steven Konkoly graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1993, receiving a bachelor of science degree in English literature. He served the next eight years on active duty in various US Navy and Marine Corps units, traveling the world extensively as a naval officer. His travels spanned the globe, including a two-year tour of duty in Japan, which brought him to more than twenty countries throughout Asia and the Middle East.
From enforcing United Nations sanctions against Iraq as a maritime boarding officer in the Arabian Gulf, to directing aircraft bombing runs and naval gunfire strikes as a forward air controller (FAC) assigned to a specialized Marine Corps unit, Steven’s “in-house” experience with a wide range of regular and elite military units brings a unique authenticity to his thrillers.
Steven lives with his family in central Indiana, where he still wakes up at “zero dark thirty” to write for most of the day. When off duty, he spends as much time as possible outdoors or traveling with his family—and dog.
