The gripping plots and engaging characters in Mike Harrison’s novels are set against a backdrop of pressing global issues. In the pages of his thrillers, he takes on the perilous state of US-China relations and the ongoing opioid crisis; the ethics of Cryogenics and the growing sense of alienation between the elites and the ruled; and the very real threat posed by the rise of AI.
Join Mike as he reveals the art of weaving real-world complexities into fiction and shares his insights on the “dos” and “don’ts” of crafting thrilling international narratives.
