Jack Daly is a #1 best-selling award-winning author, retired U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander, and former Naval Intelligence officer. Commissioned through Officer Candidate School after enlisted service, he served in aviation, amphibious, and surface warfare, communications, and intelligence roles from 1983 to 2003, including the counter-intelligence surveillance mission of April 4, 1997, when a Russian intelligence ship fired a directed-energy weapon at his helicopter in U.S. airspace, burning his eyes and the eyes of his Canadian mission partner.
