Joe O'Neill is the CEO and founder of Waquis Global Services, which gives him the opportunity to travel the world and explore different cultures. He was inspired to write the Red Hand Adventures while on safari in Sri Lanka. As he was driving along in an old jeep, under the full moon casting silhouettes of wild elephants against the jungle wall, the image of a rebel orphan in old Morocco popped into his head. While he wishes he could take credit for the idea, it was a story that was already out there, waiting to be told.

Reviews for Ghosts of the Hindu Kush: Red Hand Adventures, Book 5

O'Neill [is] an Ian Fleming for the middle-reader set...Readers should feel as though they too are traversing the globe every time they fall back into this fast-paced tale. The pages will likely fly by far too quickly for the series' loyal fans, who will be left waiting eagerly for the next installment. ...A satisfying, action-packed return to the world of the Red Hand and a daring trio. - Kirkus Reviews on Thieves of the Black Sea Thieves of the Black Sea named a Best Book of 2017 by Kirkus Reviews O'Neill has an eye for detail, atmosphere, and action...this is a rousing period piece that ends on a cliffhanger. - Publishers Weekly on Rebels of the Kasbah
