About the Author:
I'm a New York Times bestselling author, a graduate of West Point, former Infantry and Special Operations, and the feeder of two yellow Labs, most famously Cool Gus. I've had over seventy books published, including the #1 bestselling series Time Patrol, Green Berets, Area 51, and Atlantis. Born in the Bronx and having traveled the world (usually not the tourist spots), I now live peacefully with my wife and Labs. My web sites are bobmayer.com and coolgus.com Thanks!
