William J. Oxfield is a Dutch author of conspiracy thrillers built on primary ancient texts -- the Book of Enoch, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Watcher narrative of Second Temple Judaism.
His debut novel, The Tartarus Conspiracy, reached #1 in the Netherlands (Christian Mystery & Suspense) and won the Readers' Favorite 5-Star International Book Award. It has been compared to Dan Brown, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Ludlum, Tom Clancy, Brad Thor, Joel Rosenberg, and Frank Peretti. The VanderBilt Deception, Book 2 of the VanderBilt Trilogy, was published in June 2026.
The research behind the series is not invented. Over twelve years, Oxfield studied something that academic scholarship tends to miss because it treats religious traditions in isolation: every major civilisation on earth -- Hebrew, Sumerian, Greek, Norse, Hindu, Islamic, Incan -- preserves the same fragmented memory of the same ancient events. The descent of divine beings. The corruption of humanity. A catastrophic flood. The imprisonment of the guilty parties. A sentence with a fixed duration. And a release that the oldest surviving texts describe in precise detail.
The Book of Enoch is the most complete account of what all these traditions are pointing at. The VanderBilt Trilogy is built on that foundation.
Oxfield spent 27 years as VP Operations at a global logistics company. The Tartarus Conspiracy was written alongside a full corporate career, across twelve years, by someone who had never written a novel before and had to learn everything from scratch.
He is a pianist, a church board member, and lives in the Netherlands with his family.
