About the author
Brandt Legg
45 books373 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.
Legg now writes full time – his favorite endeavor ever! For more information, visit BrandtLegg.com, or to contact Brandt directly, email him: Brandt@BrandtLegg.com, he loves to hear from readers and always responds!

a fun read, but really,
How Long can this series go on. Don't misunderstand, I have read them all with TIME next on the list, but I think it's time to wrap it up. Likely not going to be "...and they all lived happily ever after.".

Very different storyline
This was very thrilling and suspenseful. I loved how it kept you on the edge of your seat at every turn of the page

8th series and I still can't put it down.

‘She’s going to die, he thought, an instant before a sudden burst of fire sprayed his windshield’
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 MIND is another fine episode of the Chase Wen Thrillers, a series of eight 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: ‘Nine black-clad operatives moved into position, their leader confident. “The day has finally come,” he said to himself, lining up the sight of his sniper rifle. as a gentle snow fell. “The last day of Chase Malone’s life.” Chase Malone sipped an earthy concoction of tea and coffee, bitter and good, gently waking up his tired brain. His thirty-second birthday not far off, he looked and felt older than that. “It’s been a while since I used these parts of my mind,” he said, smiling at Wen, taking in her beauty framed by a view of jagged peaks and blue skies in this gorgeous slice of Utah…’ For those new to this series, meet Chase! – and Wen!
The author’s synopsis seduces the reader into this episode – ‘Imagine if they knew what you were thinking . . .What wouldn’t you want them to know? They can read you like a book. The thought police are coming! A fugitive billionaire and a former spy must stop an insidious plot to control the population through high tech mind reading. Chase and Wen are trapped in a maze of illusion, reality, and secrets, as they struggle to overcome an enemy so powerful, their very own thoughts are used against them. Once they get inside your mind, there is no way out.’
This is yet another fine thriller novel by Brandt Legg, now acknowledged as one of the most important writers in the thriller genre. Recommended
