About Allan K. Patch: Retired USN Captain Allan Patch grew up in Plymouth, Mass with a family history that dates back to coming over from England in 1623; leading to his fascination with the heritage of our nation. Allan earned a BS in biology from Boston College and a DMD from Tufts University. He then spent over two decades in the Navy, deployed in both Navy hospitals and in active duty with the Marine Corps. And later in the Naval Reserve. Allan Patch�s fast paced adventure novels bring history to life in the Delphi series. Passage At Delphi is the first novel in the series exploring the confluence of the past, present, and future with ordinary people tossed into extraordinary situations.
