G. Michael Hopf

b. 1971 · American novelist and former US Marine

G. Michael Hopf is a bestselling American author of post-apocalyptic and western fiction, and a former US Marine and executive protection agent. His New World series imagines the collapse of society after an electromagnetic pulse. He is the rare living writer to have produced a line so widely repeated that people assume it must be centuries old — and he has spent years politely explaining that he wrote it.
