Strategist. Author. Storyteller of Global Conflict.
John Webber is the author of The Eagle & The Dragon series — a collection of high-stakes military thrillers that explore the collision of power, finance, and geopolitics in a world on the brink of war. Drawing from two decades of experience in international banking, agricultural lending, and risk management, Webber brings rare authenticity to the page — capturing not only the tactics of modern warfare but the economic and political forces that fuel it.
From Strategy to Storytelling
A graduate of Harvard University and The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, John Webber built his career as a global strategist working with financial institutions, technology firms, and governments across the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa. His work gave him a front-row seat to the interconnected nature of global power — how debt, data, and diplomacy shape the modern battlefield just as much as missiles and armies.
That deep understanding became the foundation of his fiction. In The Eagle & The Dragon, Webber imagines how the next great conflict could begin — not as a sudden event, but as the inevitable consequence of ambition, deception, and competing world orders. His stories are not just about war; they are about the systems, leaders, and decisions that make war possible.
A Voice for Modern Military Fiction
Webber’s writing has been praised for its realism, depth, and technical precision — drawing comparisons to the works of Tom Clancy, Larry Bond, and Mark Greaney. His novels merge authentic geopolitics with cinematic storytelling, offering readers a chillingly plausible look at 21st-century warfare: from missile strikes and cyber espionage to financial warfare and political brinkmanship.
Through meticulous research and insider perspective, John Webber bridges the gap between policy and fiction — transforming headlines into high-stakes narratives that feel one decision away from reality.
The Mission Behind the Writing
At the heart of every John Webber novel lies a question: What happens when the global systems we depend on begin to fail?
His work challenges readers to consider the fragility of peace, the cost of leadership, and the future of Western power in an increasingly multipolar world.
Whether exploring the fall of alliances, the limits of deterrence, or the human cost of technological supremacy, Webber’s mission is to make readers think — and feel — the weight of decisions that shape our shared future.
