You are out of time. Survival is impossible. The only choice who else is going to die with you?

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock .**
Chasing Time is book nine in the Chase Malone series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone novel.

About the author
Brandt Legg
45 books374 followersUSA TODAY Bestselling Author Brandt Legg uses his unusual real life experiences to create page-turning novels. He’s traveled with CIA agents, dined with senators and congressmen, mingled with astronauts, chatted with governors and presidential candidates, had a private conversation with a Secretary of Defense he still doesn’t like to talk about, hung out with Oscar and Grammy winners, had drinks at the State Department, been pursued by tabloid reporters, and spent a birthday at the White House by invitation from the President of the United States.
At age eight, Legg's father died suddenly, plunging his family into poverty. Two years later, while suffering from crippling migraines, he started in business, and turned a hobby into a multi-million-dollar empire. National media dubbed him the “Teen Tycoon,” and by the mid-eighties, Legg was one of the top young entrepreneurs in America, appearing as high as number twenty-four on the list (when Steve Jobs was #1, Bill Gates #4, and Michael Dell #6). Legg still jokes that he should have gone into computers.
By his twenties, after years of buying and selling businesses, leveraging, and risk-taking, the high-flying Legg became ensnarled in the financial whirlwind of the junk bond eighties. The stock market crashed and a firestorm of trouble came down. The Teen Tycoon racked up more than a million dollars in legal fees, was betrayed by those closest to him, lost his entire fortune, and ended up serving time for financial improprieties.
After a year, Legg emerged from federal prison, chastened and wiser, and began anew. More than twenty-five years later, he’s now using all that hard-earned firsthand knowledge of conspiracies, corruption and high finance to weave his tales. Legg’s books pulse with authenticity.
His series have excited nearly a million readers around the world. Although he refused an offer to make a television movie about his life as a teenage millionaire, his autobiography is in the works. There has also been interest from Hollywood to turn his thrillers into films. With any luck, one day you’ll see your favorite characters on screen.

‘What if my mind is not going to be able to save me this time?’ – Chas and Wen return
One of the reasons Pacific Northwest author Brandt Legg has been so successful in his writing and publishing and selling his books is his magisterial management of his website. From his biographical data we learn that he is ‘a former child prodigy who turned a hobby into a multi-million dollar empire. At eight, Brandt's father died suddenly, plunging his family into poverty. Two years later, while suffering from crippling migraines, he started in business. National media dubbed him the Teen Tycoon; but by the time he reached his twenties, the high-flying Legg became ensnarled in the financial whirlwind of the junk bond eighties, lost his entire fortune . . . and ended up serving time in federal prison for financial improprieties.’ Or as Brandt shares, ‘Twenty-five years ago, sitting in a hot, humid federal prison cell in Virginia, I first dreamed of being not just a writer, but a writer who could earn a living, support a family and keep writing. But I had dropped out of high school, having only completed tenth grade English. As I sat on that metal cot, penniless and heavily in debt, with almost a year left on my sentence, it seemed an impossible dream. Still, for more than two decades, while doing everything but writing, I somehow kept the dream alive. Amazon's KDP changed everything.’ One year later he began anew in retail and real estate. In the more than two decades since, his life adventures have led him through magazine publishing, a newspaper column, photography, FM radio, CD production and concert promotion.’ He is also a gifted landscape photographer.
CHASING TIME is another fine episode of the Chase Wen Thrillers, a series of nine books to date that follow Brandt’s chosen genre of Techno thrillers. The potency of his skillful writing is evident from the first page of this fine novel: ‘The strong scent of cherry blossoms filled the warm, surprisingly humid night. He pictured their beauty, wondering if he’d ever see them again when they were drenched in sunlight. ’They want to kill me,’ he thought, looking back into the darkness. Washington in the spring was a beautiful place, even in the middle of the night, but not if you were running for your life. The Astronaut tried to calm himself, pressed up against the black granite wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Breathing in the perfume of the trees, he could almost pretend it was going to be all right. Yet the Astronaut knew better…’
The author’s synopsis strikes the tension in this episode – ‘You are out of time. Survival is impossible. The only choice remaining . . . Who else is going to die with you. Twenty-four hours ago, Chase and Wen, a fugitive billionaire and a former spy, thought they still had time. They believed that millions wouldn’t die, hoped a war wouldn’t come. Now, they are desperately searching for an obscure element, and just trying to stay alive. Time can be a real killer. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock’
This is yet another fine thriller novel by Brandt Legg, now acknowledged as one of the more important writers in the thriller genre. Recommended.

Peak Thriller
I loved this Chase & Wen adventure. Have to say my favorite of the series. Good concept, excellent twists and moves the character and series forward. It was due that they get free of the constant pressure of being chased and able to now turn the tide at least a little. It's roll slowly grows (I hope he is a new astronaut in the making) and our favorite pair now have 2 new interesting partners in their hunt for the shadow people. Well written by Mr Legg, bring on the next!

Another great book
I have read the entire “Chasing” series and I believe that I enjoyed Chasing Time the most. They are all very good books and could be read individually, but as a series I think they are the most enjoyable. Can’t wait for the next in series. Keep up the good hard work it takes to produce the next book. We always want “The Next Book”.
