Richard Herman

Richard Herman prefers to go by his nickname Dick, and is a retired Air Force officer who flew C-130s and F-4s. While on active duty he served two tours in Southeast Asia during the “unpleasantness” there and logged over 240 combat missions. He also taught at the Air Force Academy and served as an operations plans officer. After retiring, Dick turned to writing about the aircraft he loves, and is the author of seventeen novels – including the critically acclaimed The Warbirds and Power Curve. His novels have reached the White House and are read worldwide, ranging from Japan to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, to Poland. His most current novel, "The Price of Mercy", writing as Dick Herman, departs from his normal genre of geopolitical action thrillers and enters the social world of today in a story that could could be ripped from current headlines. He now lives and writes in Central California.
