Aphrodesia

John Oehler is a multiple award-winning author of thriller/suspense novels. His stories are often compared to those of Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, and Wilbur Smith. John has worked in dozens of countries and lived in places as diverse as Nepal, Australia, and Somalia. He combines those experiences with his love of history and his background in the natural sciences to create stories that leave readers asking, "Could this really happen?"

John lives in Houston with his wife, Dorothy, a NASA scientist and member of the Mars Science Team acquiring and analyzing data from the Curiosity rover. They have an Old English Sheepdog named Elfie, who should have been named Nitro.
