Brendan le Grange was born and educated in South Africa, though he now lives between Manila and Hong Kong with his beautiful wife and daughter. As a business consultant, he has travelled to forty countries and lived in three. And it was during the reading binges to break up these transits - with the likes of Clive Cussler and Jack du Brul - that the writer began to emerge, bringing to life the cities, characters, and history he encountered. Le Grange’s debut action thriller, Drachen, is a wild chase through North Europe along the Baltic coast. Based on a reimagined history of the medieval Hanseatic League, a young marine archaeologist discovers evidence of a treasure so valuable, it will test every allegiance.
