D.J. Thompson is a scientist-turned-author and business owner. He lives in Pennsylvania.

ANGELS OF WAR: VERITAS (Book 1)
"The world you know is a lie."
Nerve gas attacks spread across the planet, turning the citizens of major cities into helplessly enraged berserkers. Armies of unstoppable soldiers march among the resulting chaos. Those responsible identify themselves as the Deciders, a multinational terrorist organization bent on global unification under a new world order.
Governments are toppled as their overwhelmed militaries melt away. Civilians who aren't executed are corralled into reeducation camps. A college student named Dion Johnson and his friends decide that the only way to stay alive and free is to fight back. What begins as a struggle for survival quickly becomes a mission to prevent a worldwide totalitarian dystopia from taking root
ANGELS OF WAR: TALION (Book 2)
"The path to global change runs with blood, and so does the road to revenge."
It's been two years since the War of Annex ended with the Deciders' collapse. The United States of the Americas and rivaling megapowers struggle to rebuild their societies in a world rampant with anarchic crime and the resentments of millions who had learned of their governments' corruption in the Deciders' reeducation camps and through the files contained in Veritas.
Dion Johnson, the college senior who led the Angels of War Militia to their victory over the Deciders and killed their architect, is certain that the threat is regathering its strength in the shadows. But with a new family to protect, even the assassination of the president he helped put in power isn't enough to bring him back into the fight. Determined to draw Dion out of hiding, the Deciders kidnap dozens of his friends and loved ones ... and, soon after, the new face of their movement begins executing his hostages one by one while counting down to a cataclysm that will wipe billions from the earth ...
JEZEBEL: AN ANGELS OF WAR NOVELLA (Book 1.5)
"College Student. Camgirl. Activist. Freedom Fighter."
Figuring out how to pay for college used to be Isabella Monroe's biggest concern, until she started making money with a webcam. Then, one Sunday morning, a post-hookup Uber ride turns into a fight for her life after a nerve agent is released in downtown Los Angeles by terrorists calling themselves the Deciders.
Isabella, her driver, and hundreds of other civilians are herded into a college campus turned reeducation camp where they're forced to accept the teachings of Veritas, a collection of documents that claim the world is run by a cabal of sociopathic elites. Resistance is punished. Those who try to escape are executed.
As the world burns and bends to the Deciders' will, Isabella must decide whether to flee into the chaos or join the fight for what her captors insist will be a better future ...
ANGELS OF WAR: TERMINUS (Book 3)
“The Endgame will be actualized, even if there aren’t many left to rule …”
Nearly a billion people died when the Deciders unleashed tsunamis on the world’s coasts. The leader of the resistance, Dion “Archangel” Johnson, is barely clinging to life, and most of his squad is dead. Only one person can help him escape from behind enemy lines—Isabella Monroe, the Decider turncoat who pledged her life to his mission.
Dion and Isabella face not only the Deciders, but a harsh winter and the relentless pursuit of bounty hunters eager to collect their reward. And as they fight their way back east to Babylon, an unlikely ally warns of a new weapon that threatens to annihilate the resistance once and for all.
If Archangel can’t stop the Hand of God before it goes live, all who refuse to submit to the Deciders will be erased from the Earth…
HOPEIUM (Messy Business of Love Book 1)
Explore an alternate universe where the world didn’t descend into chaos! Find out how Spring Break would’ve turned out for Dion Johnson.
“The hope of something better can ruin the chance for something amazing.”
Isabella Monroe is living her best life, doing whatever it takes to achieve her dreams while struggling to pass this semester. It’d be a helluva lot easier if her life wasn’t imploding thanks to her ex-boyfriend punishing her betrayal by leaking her secrets and intimate photos across the internet…
When his revenge campaign hits campus, she realizes she either has to intervene or drop out.
One night where nothing goes wrong. Is that too much to ask for?
Dion Johnson arrives in LA for one last epic week with his best bros before graduation. A spring break full of sightseeing, drunk nights, and one-night-stands is the goal. Then Dion sees Isabella and, suddenly, pursuing anyone else just seems pointless. All he needs is an in. And as he’s devising a smooth introduction, he witnesses a moment that ruins her night.
A spilled tray of loaded nachos and a bold act of kindness spurs a passionate fling with the potential to become so much more—or at least it might if living on opposite coasts and Isabella’s commitment-phobia weren’t major obstacles…
