About the author

Thom Tate writes spy thrillers that read like blockbuster films—fast-paced, immersive, and packed with high-stakes action. His stories drop readers into the middle of covert missions, shadow ops, and global conspiracies, where the tension is real and the bullets fly.

With a growing catalog that includes the gripping novella Intercept and full-length thrillers like The Auroral Contingency, Spear Garden, and Beyond All Measure, Thom has carved out a niche in the genre by doing what he does best: putting readers in the boots of operatives who live in the shadows.

His signature style—cinematic, visceral, and character-driven—has earned praise for making readers feel like they’re not just reading a story, but living it. The Covert World series, originally launched with Czechmate, Meltdown, and The 4th Strike, is currently being reimagined and merged into a high-octane prequel novel: Who Is Blake MacKay, coming early 2026.
