Autorenporträt
Marc Liebman is a retired U.S. Navy Captain and Naval Aviator who is a combat veteran of Vietnam, the tanker wars of the 1980s and Desert Shield/Desert Storm. He retired as a Captain after twenty-four years in the Navy and a military career that took him all over the world. Marc has worked with the armed forces of Australia, Canada, Japan, Thailand, Republic of Korea, the Philippines and the U.K. He has just under 6,000 hours of pilot-in-command/co-pilot flight time in a variety of tactical military, civilian fixed and rotary wing aircraft. In the business world, he has been the CEO of an aerospace and defense manufacturing firm, an associate editor of a national magazine and a copywriter for an advertising agency as well as a senior executive of a global business process management firm. He retired from the business world in 2015 to become a full-time author. Marc has four other novels in print. Big Mother 40 is loosely based on his experiences flying helicopters on combat search and rescue and special operations missions during the Vietnam War. In June 2013, the readers of books bought on Amazon ranked it as one of the top 100 war novels. In Render Harmless, terrorists are creating the West German government's worst political nightmare in 1976, thirty-one years after the Holocaust ended and four years after the Munich Olympics massacre. Nazis who want to create a fourth Reich are working with terrorists supported by Fatah, Stasi and the KGB; they have published a manifesto that reads as if it was written by Adolf Hitler. Cherubs 2 is a novel about a young Naval Officer who is learning the difference between courage and cowardice as he learns how to be a leader. The book takes place in 1970 during the Vietnam War. Forgotten is the story about six American POWs who didn't come at the end of the Vietnam War. They're being held captive by a drug dealer who wants to ransom them to the U.S. Government. After they are rescued and brought back to the U.S., two people don't want them alive. One is a CIA field agent who's afraid his prior activities will send him to jail and the other is a former POW who knows that one of the FORGOTTEN will send him to the hangman for being a traitor. Marc lives in Savannah, Texas with his wife of 47+ years and three poodles. They have two children and spend a lot of time visiting his four grand-children when they are not traveling in their RV.
