Richard Starks Boeken

    Richard Starks creëert meeslepende verhalen in een breed scala aan genres, en geeft aan dat hij, zelfs na negen boeken, het gevoel heeft nog maar net begonnen te zijn. Zijn thrillers duiken in politieke en financiële intriges, terwijl zijn fictie zich uitstrekt tot novelisaties van filmische werken. Naast deze heeft Starks een aanzienlijk talent voor non-fictie, met name reisverslagen die lezers meenemen naar exotische oorden zoals Tibet en Venezuela, en levendig reizen door historische Spaanse kloosters beschrijven.
