Jack Newman is a first-time author. Having grown up reading stories from Tom Clancy, Wilbur Smith and Clive Cussler, Jack has a love for exciting adventure stories with a focus on real-world history and strong research. His first novel, The Malacca Incident, started as a hobby project three years ago while looking for good new books to read. Disappointed with the available options, Jack decided to write his own. Jack studied at the Australian National University in the Strategic Defence Studies Centre and has a master’s degree in Strategic Studies. He has a keen interest in international affairs and emerging technology.
