Anthony Riches

Anthony’s interest in all things military led him to a degree in military history and psychology (and Russian language), and a long standing desire to write led to the Empire series which is published by Hodder. There are now 12 books in the successful series.

A chance discussion with a royal protection officer – and jet lag in Australia – led more recently to the Protector series of modern thrillers.

His latest book, Target Zero, is published by Head of Zeus.

He lives in Suffolk with two Belgian cow herding dogs and a bad tempered cat, and his wonderful wife of 37 years.

’Fast-paced and gripping "read-through-the-night' fiction with marvellous characters and occasional moments of dark humour. Some authors are better historians than they are storytellers. Anthony Riches is brilliant at both.’ Conn Iggulden
