David Craig Owen Thomas byl velšský autor, jehož díla zkoumají filozofické myšlenky a napínavé techno-thrillery. Jeho romány často zasazené do prostředí MI6 a zkoumající motivace postav, se vyznačují pečlivě propracovanými intrikami. Thomasův jedinečný styl spočívá ve spojení napínavých dějových zvratů s hlubším zamyšlením nad lidskou povahou a etikou.
