Andrew Watts is a former US Navy helicopter pilot who turned to writing military thrillers after leaving active duty. His debut, The War Planners (2015), kicked off a six-book series about a Chinese military threat against the United States, blending family drama with geopolitical suspense. The series found a large audience among readers of Tom Clancy and Mark Greaney.
Watts went on to write the Max Fend series, centered on a naval aviator caught up in increasingly dangerous situations, and The Firewall Spies series, which leans more heavily into espionage and cyber warfare. His books move fast, lean on technical detail without drowning in it, and tend to feature protagonists with military or intelligence backgrounds. With fourteen novels published between 2015 and 2024, he has become a steady presence in the military thriller space.
