He stayed a Regular Army infantryman most of his adult life, returning to Massachusetts as an unofficial dissident while attending Boston College after his first hitch. Back in the Army, he managed to do just about everything there was to do at one time or another. After the Gulf War, with the bottom dropping completely out of the anti-communist market, Tom decided to become a lawyer. Every now and again, when the frustrations of legal life and having to deal with \u003ci\u003eother\u003c\/i\u003e lawyers got to be too much, Tom would rejoin the Army (or a somewhat similar group, say) for fun and frolic in other climes. His family, muttering darkly, put up with this for \u003ci\u003eyears\u003c\/i\u003e. He no longer practices law, instead writing full-time for Baen. His novels for Baen include \u003ci\u003eA State of Disobedience, Caliphate\u003c\/i\u003e, and the series consisting of \u003ci\u003eA Desert Called Peace, Carnifex, The Lotus Eaters, The Amazon Legion, Come and Take Them\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Rods and the Axe\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Pillar of Fire by Night. \u003c\/i\u003eWith John Ringo, he has written the novels \u003ci\u003eWatch on the Rhine, Yellow Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Tuloriad.\u003c\/i\u003e Also for Baen, he has written the first three volumes of the modern-day military fiction series Countdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 608\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 6.7 x 4.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769778798880,"sku":"9781982124267","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/afb28c3516316f4ea5a49aed182a8fe3.webp?v=1780356322","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/a-pillar-of-fire-by-night-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
