Among the award winners of the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize given to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), David H. Hanks held an International Nuclear Safeguards Inspector post at the IAEA in Vienna, Austria, for several years.
His many years of experience in international nuclear nonproliferation and expertise in the operation of nuclear power plants provides a unique insight into this nuclear thriller.
Now living in Georgia, David has published several technical documents related to nuclear safeguards and wrote The Disappearance, a novel based on the disappearance of his mother.
