War veteran and former typhoon chaser reveals the real-life resilience behind his supernatural thriller trilogy
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 21st Aug 2025 – Author, veteran, and former typhoon chaser A. Ben Bacon recently joined The Spotlight Interview with Logan Crawford to discuss his heart-pounding supernatural thriller, ‘The Coming.’ The exclusive interview, streaming now on Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV, takes viewers inside Ben’s incredible life story and the intense real-world experiences that shaped his captivating novel.
Bacon’s career spans extraordinary chapters—serving in the Vietnam War, flying into 39 full-fledged typhoons as a military meteorologist, and earning three Air Medals for his courage. His high-risk missions placed him in the heart of storms with winds surpassing 200 mph, navigating conditions few have ever survived. Yet, it was a life-changing fall resulting in a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that ultimately steered him toward writing.
“I was living like a zombie on medication after the TBI,” Ben shared in the interview. “I quit all the drugs, and instead of giving up, I started creating. ‘The Coming’ was born out of that fight to get my mind back.”
Set in the snowy landscapes of southwest Colorado, ‘The Coming’ opens with a life-or-death rescue during a blizzard. Protagonist Joe, a quiet carpenter with a military past saves a woman stranded in the storm. Soon after, another rescue brings Mareilene and her twin sister into his life—pregnant, terrified, and pursued by a malevolent force she calls “the devil.” From there, Ben’s narrative combines faith, sacrifice, and supernatural terror, leading to revelations about the destiny of unborn twins—one male, one female—each with a role as a savior.
The book’s pulse-pounding pace and spiritual undertones are inspired by Ben’s own encounters with life-threatening situations. His years in the military, survival in extreme weather, and recovery from severe injury all infuse the novel with an authenticity that keeps readers on edge.
During the interview, Ben revealed that ‘The Coming’ is just the beginning of a planned trilogy. The sequel, ‘The Coming: Hunted,’ is already complete, and the third installment, ‘The Coming: In Plain Sight,’ is in progress. The series has also sparked interest in potential TV or film adaptations.
Logan Crawford praised the novel’s cinematic quality, noting its mix of adrenaline, danger, and emotional depth. When asked about casting, Ben suggested finding strong but understated actors who could embody the characters’ resilience—perhaps even unknown talents to bring fresh energy to the screen.
For Ben, writing is more than storytelling—it’s survival. “Like chasing typhoons or facing combat, writing pushes you forward,” he said. “Once you finish, you move on to the next challenge.”
