About Clay Martin

I served in two branches of service, the USMC and the US Army. In the Corps I was in the infantry, a Scout/ Sniper, and a Recon Marine.

In the Army I served as a Green Beret, with most of my career spent in 3rd Special Forces Group. I was an Operational Detachment Alpha ( ODA) Communications SGT, Intelligence SGT, and ended my career as a SFAUC instructor.

I was forced to medically retire in 2013, and spent a few years in the usual jobs, teaching people to shoot and contracting. I have been all over the world, and seen a thing or two out of the ordinary.

I started writing novels in August of 2017, and finished my first non-fiction survival book in June of 2020. Sadly, it has proven to be a crystal ball for our slide into the abyss.

I live in Idaho with my wife, sons, and pack of feral dogs.

A bioweapon—a global epidemic—kicks off World War III in this explosive thriller from the author of Last Son of the War God.

Derek Martell is in a dead-end career, manning a fuel point in Eastern Iraq. It’s a far fall from a life of fortune and glory, but he’s lucky to have any job at all. Until he wakes up after a sandstorm to find Doomsday is at hand. The apocalypse has started, and his invite was late.

A global catastrophe is unfolding, an epidemic that reaches every shore. Only genetic Arabs seem to be immune, and scores will be settled. One thousand years of tactical losses have been reversed in the blink of an eye. The Western world only has one card remaining to be played, a weapon of radiation and fire that has only been used twice. But backed up against the wall, what choice do they have?

Teamed up with a ragtag band of other survivors, Derek is running against the clock through the burning desert. A counter strike is imminent, which won’t matter if the locals get them first. All Derek needs is to find a plane. But first he has to dodge . . . the Sword of the Caliphate.

Last Son of the War God Aug 21, 2019

$1.99

From the author of Sword of the Caliphate: “a thrilling adventure that . . . offers real insight into the mind of a Special Forces soldier” (Guns America Digest).

In the backcountry of Idaho, a tribe of men are hunting and killing with a dream of returning the world to an earlier time. A time when courage and prowess in the field determined a man’s worth. A time when the strong took what they wanted, and the weak cowered in fear.

Mike Bryant has come to the wilderness to die. Tired of the trappings of modern life, his will to live has run out. But when he crosses paths with a group of warriors who challenge him, he suddenly finds purpose. Mike is no ordinary man. Frozen and given up for dead, an inner core of rage ignites a fury few have seen and lived. Deep in the White Cloud Mountains, a demon is awakening. The Last Son of the War God was forged in the storm of blood and fire. And now he’s angry.

The War God has chosen his champion, one of his favorite sons. And by the time the dust settles, one thing will be clear. If you choose the War God as your deity, you had better have what it takes to measure up. Consequences are eternal.

“As page-turners go, this book is for certain one of them, but don’t let that fool you into thinking the story is devoid of a sophisticated plot . . . action that starts early on and continues through to the very last line of the book.”—SOFREP
