About a hundred years ago, give or take, Chris blagged his way into Cambridge to read Natural Sciences and Computer Science. He's spent much of his career since then in corporate life; a great deal of it in the travel industry. He's an MBA, with Distinction, and for over a decade he's written on emerging technologies and corporate strategy for a professional audience. He began studying martial arts when he was eight years old, to get out of piano lessons. He's still at it, and he still can't play the piano.

He lives in the Heavy Woollen District of West Yorkshire with his wife, Sue, his Parson Jack Russell terrier, Fudd, and his gravel bike.

CONCERN is his debut novel, and the beginning of a series featuring Marc Naedorf. ...more

As a thriller, SOF works well. At upwards of 700 pages, it's not a short novel, but it moves along at a brisk pace and I didn't feel it bogged down anywhere. On the other hand there were one or two sections that felt as if Crichton had recycled them ...more

Quotes by Christopher Bentley (?)

“Your quantum computing supremo sends up a flare and three days later he and your son are killed. We have no idea why, or by whom, and I have a strong suspicion the Bratva protection racket story is horse shit. However you and Socrates choose to define justice, you haven’t had it.”
― Christopher Bentley, Concern
