Myke Cole ist ein renommierter Autor von Fantasy-Romanen, bekannt für seine Shadow Ops-Reihe. Er wurde in New York, Vereinigte Staaten, geboren und lebt derzeit in Brooklyn. Sein Werdegang ist vielfältig und umfangreich, er reicht von Tätigkeiten als Sicherheitsdienstleister, Regierungsangestellter bis hin zu einem Militärangehörigen. Diese verschiedenen beruflichen Hintergründe haben seinen Schreibstil maßgeblich beeinflusst, denn seine literarischen Werke spiegeln seine Erfahrungen in der Terrorismusbekämpfung, Cyber-Kriegsführung und Bundespolizeiarbeit wider.
Die Militärlaufbahn von Cole und seine Tätigkeiten für Nachrichtendienste haben sich als eine reiche Quelle der Inspiration für seine Romane erwiesen. Er hat drei Touren in Iraq absolviert und wurde während der Deepwater Horizon Ölpest zurückgerufen, um zu dienen. Seine tatsächlichen Erfahrungen bei der Jagd auf Terroristen und Verbrecher haben sich auf den Bildschirm übertragen, wo er auf CBS's 2017 Show Hunted und auf Discovery Channel's 2019 Show Contact nach Flüchtigen und UFOs gejagt hat.
Trotz des Hintergrunds von Cole in hochkonfliktuellen Situationen hat er eine sanfte Seite, die in seiner Liebe zu Fantasy-Romanen, Comic-Büchern und spätabendlichen Dungeons-and-Dragons-Spielen offensichtlich wird. Sein Schreiben ist oft angstgefüllt und spiegelt die Komplexität seiner Charaktere und die komplexen Welten wider, die er erschafft. Der einzigartige Hintergrund von Cole und seine Leidenschaft für das Geschichtenerzählen haben ihn zu einem respektierten Autor im Fantasy-Genre etabliert.
