About
Fred Oliver never imagined becoming an author, especially in his sixties. Yet, with Dormant Angels, he delivers a gripping debut shaped by decades of experience and a lifetime of curiosity. Drawing inspiration from his travels across Europe and the Middle East, Oliver weaves a story that probes how ancient forces and human faith collide. His background as the son of a U.S. Army Combat Veteran and a dedicated mother instilled in him resilience, a love of reading, and a deep fascination with science, religion, and life's mysteries.
A graduate of Inter-American University and the U.S. Naval Officer and Surface Warfare Schools, Oliver credits his military training for the discipline that fuels his storytelling today. Written during a period of reflection in 2024, Dormant Angels invites readers into a world where dark forces manipulate reality—and where unrelenting faith stands as humanity’s last defense. Oliver believes that despite a world divided by politics and religion, the essential message of unity and brotherhood must prevail.
Dormant Angels is only the beginning of what he hopes will spark thoughtful debate on the unseen forces that shape our lives.
Inside the Mind - Fred Oliver

Why did you write Dormant Angels?
“I always had in my mind that I wanted to leave at least one book that would be part of my background and my life, something to be remembered by, maybe. Not just for myself because this book has a lot of spiritual inspiration as you go through it. I put a lot into this book. Seven days of the week, five, six, or more hours every single day just to get it done.”

But why write such a thought-provoking story?
“Life is full of controversy. Religious and political beliefs have always divided mankind. The Catholic Church, like all human institutions, has changed through time. And like all human institutions, the church has never been perfect, but today, what matters is the message of unity and brotherhood that it is putting forward. No matter what religion that you are or who you profess to be, the most important thing should be to get along with each other and to respect and love each other.”
