Anthony A. Flores is a retired U.S. Air Force Boom Operator whose career spanned over 21 years of global service. From training missions to real-world operations, his time in the military shaped not only his worldview but his voice as a storyteller. The Last Contact marks his debut novel, channeling lived experience into a work that resonates with honesty, depth, and restraint. He writes not for spectacle, but for truth, fiction rooted in what it means to endure.
Flores brings a rare kind of authority to the page, one that comes not from theory but from time spent in uniform, air, and uncertainty. His writing reflects the same discipline and clarity that defined his years of service.
