Ethan Ross is the bestselling author of high-stakes action thrillers that explore the thin line between duty and survival. His novels are widely praised for their cinematic pacing, grounded realism, and memorable characters, earning recognition from The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews.
Ross draws heavily on his professional background, having spent 22 years serving in the UK military, along with many years attached to the UK Foreign Office. These experiences form the foundation of his storytelling, providing authenticity and detail that resonate throughout his work. His debut novel, Point of No Return, introduced readers to the world behind the Jack Copeland series and reflected many of the challenges and realities he encountered during his service. It was followed by Fire Storm and Deep Cover, released in March 2020.
To date, twelve novels have been published as part of the Jack Copeland series. Ross is currently working on his next novel, Dark Shadow, continuing his focus on high-stakes international intrigue and character-driven action.
When he’s not writing, Ross can often be found researching in archives, interviewing veterans, or hiking remote trails. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his family and a very opinionated rescue dog.
