John Michael Hadley

John Michael Hadley writes thrillers about the systems that keep powerful people safe, and what happens when those systems fail. His work explores the quiet spaces where technology meets tradecraft: satellite networks, biometric surveillance, and the vulnerabilities hidden inside the infrastructure we trust. The Guardian Protocol is his debut novel — a story that began with a simple question: what if the watch designed to protect you, was the thing that gave you away? The answer took him from a Californian server room, to Vatican back corridors, to the hills east of Amman. He is currently at work on the sequel; "Dead Frequency".
