George Galdorisi

I am a career naval aviator. My thirty years of active duty service included four command tours and five years as a carrier strike group chief of staff. My passion is writing.

In addition to my Rick Holden thrillers published by Braveship Books (The Coronado Conspiracy, For Duty and Honor and Fire and Ice), I have written twelve books distributed by mainstream publishers, including several New York Times bestselling novels in the rebooted Tom Clancy’s Op-Center series, including Out of the Ashes, Into the Fire, Scorched Earth, and Dark Zone. With my longtime collaborator, Dick Couch, I coauthored the New York Times best seller, Tom Clancy Presents: Act of Valor, the novelization of the Relativity Media number-one rated movie. I am also the author of The Kissing Sailor, which proved the identity of the two principals in Alfred Eisenstaedt’s famous photograph; as well as over 400 articles in professional journals and other media. My most recent book is: Braveship Writers Share Their Secrets: How To Write Books People Actually Read.

I have received a number of national and international writing awards, including: the Navy League of the United States Alfred Thayer Mahan Award for Literary Achievement, the U.S. Naval Institute General Prize Essay Contest, the Surface Navy Association Literary Award, the Navy League of Australia’s Annual Essay Competition, the Naval Helicopter Historical Association Literary Award, and the Military Writers Society of America Silver Medal Award, among others.

Other than writing thrillers, I like nothing more than connecting with readers.
