About Liam Morgan A lifelong fan of action-adventure stories, Liam’s life mirrors some of the characters in his novels. Joining the Naval Service at the age of seventeen, he was assigned to a Marine Corps infantry company as a [medical] corpsman, where he was trained in jungle, amphibious, and Arctic warfare. He spent six weeks training in the Alaskan Arctic winter while traveling on foot for weeks and often living off the land. After the hardening of an Arctic winter, Liam volunteered to enter the screening process to join a Marine Reconnaissance company. After passing the initial screening and training, he was trained in various special warfare specialties, including parachuting, combat diving, mountaineering, hyperbaric (dive) medicine, anti-terrorist training at the FBI Academy, amphibious reconnaissance, submarine insertion/extraction techniques, demolition, and more. After receiving an honorable discharge from active duty, Liam entered the Naval Reserves while attending college. Initially, he joined a naval salvage unit where he was one of the divers who salvaged the USS Potomac, which sunk in San Francisco Bay. This historic ship is now a floating museum with one of the most interesting and infamous histories of any ship in the world. After leaving the mobile dive and salvage unit, he transferred to the reserve component of Naval Special Warfare Unit One as a diving corpsman supporting a platoon of reserve Navy frogmen, most of whom were also full-time college students. For most of the next decade, this group of adventurers would meet for three days per month and two weeks in the summer to scuba dive, parachute, conduct special warfare training, shoot, or blow demolitions. They occasionally combined all of these components by parachuting with a rubber boat into the Pacific Ocean over the horizon and out of sight of land, navigating to San Diego bay, then combat swimming underwater to a target [ship] and placing a magnetic dud mine on the bottom of the ship, before returning to the boat and rendezvousing with a ship or submarine far out in the ocean. This group of young special operators had little in common with their college classmates, so they would often meet together aside from reserve weekends to create their own adventures. They competed in the new sport of triathlons, organized swims from Alcatraz to San Francisco (Liam has made the swim five times), conducted a technical climb of Half Dome in Yosemite Valley, and swam the seven miles from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oakland Bay Bridge. After completing his college education, Liam spent three months in the jungles of West Africa, backpacking from village to village through the jungle and providing healthcare to remote villages. A long-time student of unarmed combat, Liam boxed and studied judo in high school, then spent many years training in Shaolin Kenpo/Aki Jujitsu, eventually obtaining the rank of fifth Dan and running his own Dojo. For two decades, Liam worked in Washington D.C. and served as a consultant to the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court, the VA, and the military. He has authored several non-fiction books under his real name but prefers the moniker Liam Morgan for his works of fiction. Liam has lived a lifetime of adventures. Now, he calls you to join him in sharing more of them in his novels.
