Gene Masters is a retired consulting engineer living in East Tennessee with his wife, Ruth. They have two grown daughters, and two grandchildren. He was the author of several technical treatises, including his doctoral dissertation, but Silent Warriors was his first serious attempt at fiction.
Masters received a commission in the U.S. Navy on graduation from Notre Dame, and his first tour of duty was aboard a transport in the Western Pacific. His second tour was aboard a recommissioned and updated diesel-electric submarine, the USS Angler.
After active duty, Masters pursued a career in engineering, and served in various companies until settling into a career as a consulting engineer. He retired in 2009.
Now the author of several novels, including the Rich Vitalli Mystery series, he admits that he’s having a great time writing, and just hopes others will enjoy his efforts.
All of Gene’s books were published by Escarpment Press, and are available on Amazon and other outlets.
Three of his novels, Silent Warriors, Operation Exodus, and The Laconia Incident, are available as audiobooks from Audible.com.
