ⓘ About Michael G. Thomas
Michael G. Thomas is an English author. He was born in a place called Monmouthshire somewhere between England and Wales. The author’s intelligence manifested relatively early on. And Michael definitely grew up to become a bit of a scholar. The author will be the first to tell you that he struggled to identify where he belonged in the employment pool. That might explain why he studied advanced computer engineering and then proceeded to pursue ancient history down the line. And that isn’t even taking into account the author’s experience with artificial intelligence and machine learning. Though, despite the varied nature of his educational background, Michael G. Thomas always felt a special affinity for Greek Military history.
