Mike Bond

    MIKE BOND è acclamato dalla BBC come "maestro del thriller esistenziale" e dal Washington Times come "uno degli autori più entusiasmanti del XXI secolo". I suoi romanzi, acclamati dalla critica, raffigurano l'innata fame del cuore umano per ciò che è buono, le gioie intense dell'amore, il terrore e la furia della battaglia, le sinistre bizzarrie della politica internazionale e delle multinazionali, e la bellezza del mondo naturale che svanisce. Le narrazioni di Bond approfondiscono le complessità dello spirito umano, evidenziando al contempo urgenti preoccupazioni ambientali.
