Stephen Frey

    Deze auteur duikt in de ingewikkelde werelden van financiën en nationale politiek, en biedt een kijkje achter de schermen van macht en ambitie. Zijn vroege romans doken in de schaduwrijke machinaties van Wall Street en Washington, waarbij hij de spanningen en intriges blootlegde die de wereldeconomie vormgeven. Meer recentelijk is de auteur verschoven naar nieuwe thema's, waarbij elementen van mens tegen natuur en de uitdagingen waarmee helden in wilde landschappen worden geconfronteerd, zijn opgenomen. Zijn werken worden gekenmerkt door een scherp inzicht in de menselijke natuur en machtsdynamiek.
