Ben Coes was born in 1966 in Hartford Connecticut. He is a New York Times best-selling author of political thriller and espionage novels. He attended Columbia College in New York City, where he was awarded the university's writing prize, the Bennett Cerf Memorial Award. He started his career as the White House speechwriter for former U.S. Secretary of Energy James D. Watkins under President George H.W. Bush. His debut novel, Power Down, stars Dewey Andreas, who faces terrorists trying to destroy America by attacking its energy resources. His second book, Coup d'État, is the sequel to Power Down. Pakistan drops a nuclear bomb on India, and Dewey must stop the situation from escalating.

His most recent book, Bloody Sunday, also made the bestseller list in 2018. (Bowker Author Biography) |
