Martin Quadroy is a former intelligence officer, strategic intelligence analyst and senior advisor to the Australian government. For several years he helped run special collections operations at DSD, Australia’s equivalent of NSA and GCHQ, before becoming involved in Peacekeeping, War on Terror and National Security operations. Later on, his role was to advise policy makers, planners and senior executives within Federal government and the Armed Forces on terrorism and transnational security issues.

Martin left public service in late 2006 to establish an intelligence function within Australia’s largest telecommunications company, before going on to work as a head hunter and corporate intelligence executive for a leading search and recruitment firm operating in 31 countries.

He remains passionate about the world we live in and, as a novelist, blogger and independent writer, continues to delve into politics, security and foreign affairs. He is also drawn to ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances, along with the wondrous patches of the world they inhabit, and the older he gets the more he wants to tell their story too. « less
