Duluth Author Debuts Sci-Fi Thriller
'The Tyrant Strategy: Revenant Man' features a cybernetically-enhanced super-agent, a brilliant but unstable tactical genius, a determined mother, and a solid Christian character.
Just as plans are being finalized for Dragon*Con, the world’s largest popular culture convention to occur Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, Jonathan C. Gillespie of Duluth is relishing the launch of his new military science fiction thriller series, collectively called “The Tyrant Strategy.”
“It’s quite a rush holding the finished product in your hands,” he said.
A published author, whose short fiction once earned a finalist nod at the Parsec Awards, among others, Gillespie enjoys introducing his books to people who might avoid genre fiction. “I enjoy catching the reader who doesn’t yet know that they will enjoy this kind of fiction – moms, military veterans, homeschoolers, Christians, etc.” he explained.

“There was a time in this country when media didn't almost always rely on the profane,” he said. “I am compelled to write works that grab people with dialogue, character development, and storytelling.”
Gillespie’s new book, “The Tyrant Strategy: Revenant Man,” is a suspense thriller wrapped with military science fiction overtones which features a cybernetically-enhanced super-agent, a brilliant, unstable tactical genius, a determined mother, and a solid Christian character. According to Gillespie, the book “originally started out as a short story, but I realized that the characters were so multi-faceted that the story needed to be stretched into a novel.”
