Brian Andrews is a former U.S. Navy submarine officer and nuclear engineer who turned to writing military thrillers. He writes primarily with co-author Jeffrey Wilson, a former Navy combat surgeon who served with SEAL teams. Their partnership began with the Tier One series in 2016, which follows former Navy SEAL John Dempsey as he is recruited into a covert counterterrorism unit.
Andrews and Wilson have expanded from the Tier One series into multiple related franchises including Sons of Valor, The Shepherds, and the Nick Foley thrillers. In 2023, they were chosen to continue Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series, succeeding Marc Cameron. Their first Jack Ryan novel, Act of Defiance, was published in 2024. Andrews also wrote the techno-thriller Reset and the standalone novel Four Minutes independently of Wilson.
