John Twelve Hawks

John Twelve Hawks is the New York Times bestselling author of the Fourth Realm Trilogy, SPARK, and CERTAINTY. His 2005 novel THE TRAVELER imagined a world of total data surveillance — the Vast Machine — eight years before the Snowden disclosures revealed how close that fiction had come to reality.

Along with his novels, Hawks has written the non-fiction book AGAINST AUTHORITY and the essay WRITING AS THE SKY RAINS DEATH (both available on Amazon).

A former war correspondent who reported on genocide and extreme violence, Hawks remains one of the few major American novelists to have built a public career while refusing photographs, appearances, and the disclosure of his legal identity.
