Tom Marcus

Tom Marcus is the pseudonym of a supposed British intelligence agency officer of the Security Service (MI5). Marcus was the author of a memoir and two novels.

Marcus grew up in the north of England and claimed to have served as a surveillance officer in the Security Service (known as MI5) before supposedly leaving the service in 2013 after being diagnosed with PTSD.[1][2] He was married to a fellow former secret agent and they had two children) together.[2] His true identity has not been disclosed for his own security, although this could just have been a marketing ploy.[1] Marcus gave an interview to The Victoria Derbyshire Show in 2016 about his claimed experiences foiling Islamic terrorist plots.[2] Marcus claimed had to work in a call centre and in a fast food restaurant after he left MI5 as he said his curriculum vitae was seen as inexplicable due to the secret nature of his profession.[2]

His 2017 memoir, Soldier Spy was supposedly cleared and approved for publication by MI5.[1]

Marcus has published three novels featuring the character Matt Logan, an MI5 agent.[1] Logan is part of a secret British government agency called Blindeye.[1] Marcus has described his novels as "real and raw [and] based on my own experiences".[1]

Marcus died in 2026.
