About Thad

Thad Prescott is the author of gripping naval military thrillers that plunge readers into the heart of high-stakes maritime conflict. Born and raised along the rocky coastline of New England, Prescott grew up with salt in his veins and sea tales in his blood. The son of a shipwright and a literature teacher, he spent his childhood exploring shipwrecks, reading logbooks from the 1700s, and memorizing nautical charts instead of baseball stats.

Over the course of eight years in the U.S. Navy, he served aboard destroyers and amphibious assault ships, sailing through the Strait of Hormuz, conducting exercises in the South China Sea, and standing watch under the auroras of the Arctic Circle. His deployments inspired much of the realism in his fiction—from the cramped tension of the CIC to the sudden violence of open-water engagements. 

He now lives in a weather-beaten cottage with his rescue dog and a library that smells permanently of sea spray and old books.
