Subject File: RONAN, RAY — Former professional athlete. Former commercial and contract pilot with almost thirty years across every corner of aviation. Bush planes in Alaska. Crop dusters across the American Midwest. Jets worldwide, commercial and otherwise.
Sat in intelligence briefings in Paris alongside European agency personnel. Worked with the late Dr. Richard Haines, former NASA senior scientist, to help shift the conversation from UFO to UAP within aviation safety systems.
Currently formalising a lifetime of experience at postgraduate level in Covert Investigation and Specialist Intelligence.
Writes thrillers rooted in real history, real experience, and something stranger running underneath.
"Thirty years in the air. The rest, classified."
History does not happen. It is arranged. For two thousand years an order has moved beneath thrones, churches, and wars, and its Historian keeps the ledger. Book One, The Invisible Player, releases 15 September. The Gathering, The Ashes, and The First Debt follow.
Fifteen years protecting presidents. One leaked blood test. Senior Special Agent Lynn Clarke is no longer a target. She is a commodity, and the machine she served is coming to collect. The system isn't failing her. It's working exactly as designed. Just not for people like her.
"Ray and Glenn pull back the curtain and shine a light on aviation's dark corners." — Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger
They declared him dead. They should have made sure. Derek "Dark" Quinn hides on Kerry's Atlantic edge until something engineered from his own DNA comes to take his place. His face. His rage. None of his restraint. A man born with nowhere to stand still must finally stand and face himself.
Developed in conjunction with Dr. Richard Haines, former NASA Senior Scientist and founder of NARCAP.
Started in 2012. An attempt to shift the conversation from UFO to UAP, before the term existed in the mainstream. The manuscript was pulled. The story wasn't.
