Novelist · U.S. Air Force, retired
Award-winning thrillers drawn from twenty years in the cockpit, and a science fiction novel written for the next generation. Different worlds, same question: what do you do when you are in over your head and nobody is coming?
The connective thread
John Cathcart writes in two genres that do not usually share a shelf. The Delta Seven thrillers come straight out of his years as an Air Force pilot and military attaché. Kailas Dreamer, his coming-of-age science fiction novel, he wrote for his granddaughter. What ties them together is the thing he keeps coming back to: an ordinary person dropped into a situation they were never trained for, who has to figure it out before it is too late.
Military thrillers
A retired Air Force attaché discovers his past was never as settled as he thought. Award-winning, and built on the real machinery of the drug war and military intelligence.
