John J. Reilly (1954 - 2012). Son of Jean Reilly and John Reilly. After graduating from St. Peter's College and earning his law degree from Georgetown University, he embarked upon a career as a writer, editor and attorney. Sometimes that was as a legal editor, sometimes as a polemicist, and sometimes as an unaffiliated but not wholly unrespectable scholar. His keen intellect and wry sense of humor resulted in many publications and a world-wide network of correspondents. His intellectual preoccupations ranged from theology and in particular eschatology to politics, alternative history, and the philosophy of science and literature.

During his life he published four books including Spengler's Future, The Perennial Apocalypse, Apocalypse and Future, and The Perfection of the West.
