Verne R. Albright

    Verne R. Albright je majster rozprávač, ktorého romány o fascinujúcej minulosti a bohatej kultúre Peru sú tak čtivo napísané, že sa už objavujú na zoznamoch bestsellerov. Už od mladosti objavil svoju celoživotnú vášeň pre písanie, keď dokázal napísať oveľa viac, než bolo zadané. Jeho dobrodružstvá v Peru, kam sa vrátil viac ako šesťdesiatkrát, zahŕňali cestovanie po Andách, stretnutia s nebezpečenstvami a dovozy koní Paso. Tieto osobné zážitky z neho robia autora, ktorého príbehy sú rovnako napínavé ako dobrodružstvá, o ktorých píše.
