Tom Marcus
Tom Marcus grew up on the streets in Northern England.
Learning to survive in the shadows gave him a unique perspective.
Desperate to belong to a family he never had, Tom joined the Army at just 16 years old which set him on a path working in Counter-Terrorism ultimately being recruited by MI5.
Tom is proud of the work he did with his surveillance team and ensures all the work produced by him (Book, TV or Film) is passed to his former employers at the Security Service and DSF for security clearance checks first.
Whilst Tom is extremely busy working on various exciting projects, he can't release any details until the necessary
permissions have been granted.
Tom is bound by life to Section 1 of the Official Secrets Act, an obligation he takes extremely seriously and will never break.
