M John
M John is a former fighter pilot of the Indian Air Force and an accomplished author of military thrillers. During his distinguished career, he flew frontline combat aircraft including the MiG-21 and Mirage 2000, experiencing firsthand the precision, discipline, and intensity of supersonic fighter aviation. His earlier novels—The First Coffin, Coalescence, and Empty Quiver—have been widely appreciated for their authenticity, technical depth, and gripping storytelling.
In Cancer is not just a “Tropic”, John shifts from fiction to deeply personal nonfiction, sharing his battle with Multiple Myeloma, an incurable cancer of the bone marrow. Drawing upon the resilience and mental toughness forged in the cockpit, he writes with candor, courage, and understated humor about confronting life’s most unexpected challenge.
He lives in India with his wife, Arax, whose unwavering support has been central to his journey.
