About David McCaleb
from our crawl and measurement
David McCaleb is a business whose own site puts it this way: "I love to write action thriller novels. If you enjoy strong characters you want to win, high stakes, and polished writing, check out my RED OPS thrillers." Its AI visibility score is 5.2 out of 10: the engines can find it, but they do not have much to hold on to.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebPage, ImageObject, BreadcrumbList) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is The DET?
Defining a Non-OrganizationI get this question a lot. One would think that since I’ve written three novels featuring the organization, I’d have a pat answer. And I do: The Det is a fusion cell of intelligence agencies, Department of Defense, and various foreign branches of government.
