About the Author: Joaquin De Torres
Joaquin De Torres was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating from high school, he joined the U.S. Navy at 17 where he trained in the field of naval intelligence, and earned his B.S. and M.A. in International Management while on active duty. He completed his final tour at the National Security Agency (NSA), and retired from the Navy with 21 years.
His experience with military game changers, along with his adventures within the covert labyrinth of the Defense Department helped create his eclectic collection of heroes and villains, and the dreadful situations they are thrust into.
In the spirit of Michael Crichton and Jules Verne, De Torres sees a world where technology is the elixir and, ultimately, the inhumane curse of Mankind. His visions of that curse are graphic and disturbing, forcing his characters to come to grips with their flaws and fears in order to summon their courage to survive.
De Torres is an English professor and freelance writer living with his family in Croatia.
