Navy veteran and Wall Street Journal and bestselling thriller author Jeffrey Wilson is a vascular surgeon who was completing his training when terrorists attacked America on 9/11. Already having served, Jeff immediately re-joined the active duty Navy and served as a combat surgeon with the Marines and then with an East Coast–based SEAL team and a Joint Special Operations Task Force, making multiple deployments. His experiences there --- seeing things that cannot be unseen --- sent him on his own journey exploring, and at times questioning, his faith, and are the inspiration for this novel.

Michael has spent his whole life on stage! He performed most of his youth in California, studied musical theatre at Wagner College in New York, and had a brilliant career for over a decade in the Netherlands.
