From New York Times bestselling authors Andrews & Wilson, Minotaur is a high-concept take on an ancient story perfect for fans of A Quiet Place and Bird Box.

The Minotaur never died.

His “death” was a myth—a lie told to comfort the world. Asterion, the beast of legend, still walks among us. Immortal, cunning, and endlessly hungry, he hides in plain sight luring victims into the ancient labyrinth beneath Crete, feeding on those foolish enough to enter the maze.

But this spring break, the hunter becomes the hunted.

Mina, a modern descendant of the labyrinth’s architect, has always been haunted by dreams of the maze. When she inherits her grandmother’s mysterious medallion, she can no longer resist the pull to Crete. She convinces three friends to go with her … unaware they’re walking into Asterion’s trap.

Now, Mina must outwit the immortal beast in his own domain—before she and her friends become the next sacrifice to the Minotaur.

Brian Andrews

When Brian Andrews writes about war, espionage, or covert operations, it doesn’t come from guesswork or secondhand research—it comes from the inside. A former U.S. Navy submarine officer with a background in nuclear engineering and psychology, Andrews knows what it means to operate in the shadows and carry the weight of life-or-death decisions. That experience runs like a live wire through his thrillers, charging each scene with a tension that feels earned, not imagined.

As one half of the bestselling Andrews & Wilson writing duo—alongside fellow veteran Jeffrey Wilson—Andrews has helped redefine the modern military thriller. Their Tier One series, centered on Navy SEAL turned Tier One operator John Dempsey, has become a mainstay for fans of high-octane fiction. These aren’t just stories about missions—they’re about men shaped by loss, loyalty, and the quiet burden of doing what others can’t.

But Andrews’ reach doesn’t stop at original series. In 2023, he and Wilson stepped into the legendary world of Tom Clancy, contributing Act of Defiance to the Jack Ryan universe. It’s no small feat to follow in Clancy’s footsteps, but they’ve done it by staying true to what they know best: blending sharp tactical realism with characters who feel deeply human under pressure.

Before writing full-time, Andrews earned his psychology degree from Vanderbilt University and later completed an MBA at Cornell, where he was a Park Leadership Fellow. That mix of scientific precision and narrative instinct makes his work feel both intelligent and deeply immersive. Whether he's navigating geopolitical chess matches or the psychological toll of combat, his writing never rings hollow.

Off the page, Andrews is a champion for fellow authors. He contributes to Career Authors, a resource for writers navigating the publishing world, and several of his books are being adapted for film and television—an expansion that feels inevitable, given the cinematic pulse of his storytelling.

When asked what drives his writing, Andrews once said, “The real story isn’t the op. It’s what happens after.” That mindset is what makes his thrillers linger long after the last shot is fired. They’re not just about action—they’re about consequence, conscience, and the cost of doing what’s necessary.
