Mike Maden

    Tento autor čerpá zo svojich raných skúseností v priemyselných prevádzkach a kombinuje ich s hlbokým záujmom o históriu a vojenstvo, ktorý ho doviedol k doktorátu v odbore politológie. Jeho odbornosti v oblasti konfliktu a technológií v medzinárodných vzťahoch sa premietajú do napínavých techno-thrillerov. Píše v duchu veľkých majstrov žánru a nadväzuje na tradíciu, ktorá čitateľov vtiahne do sveta špionáže a vojenských stratégií. Jeho diela sú plné akcie a inteligentných zápletiek, ktoré reflektujú jeho akademické znalosti.
