David Michaels

David Michaels is a pseudonym used for multiple authors who have written books in the Splinter Cell series.

The first two books, including this one, were written by Raymond Benson under the Michaels pen name.

Benson is an accomplished author known for his work on James Bond novels from 1997-2002.

He was chosen for his expertise in writing spy stories with exaggerated elements, making him well-suited for adapting the Splinter Cell video game series into novel form.

Benson's background in both espionage fiction and video game adaptations allowed him to create a narrative that appealed to both fans of the game and newcomers to the series.
