John Steel is a UK-based novelist whose debut thriller, Migrant Crisis, explores the collision between politics, human ambition, and the struggle for survival in a rapidly changing world. After a long career supporting individuals and businesses through complex financial and regulatory challenges, he turned to fiction to explore the human consequences of policy, power, and moral ambiguity.

Migrant Crisis is the first in a planned series examining the pressures facing modern societies, and the individuals who shape, test, or threaten their future.
