USA Today bestseller Dave Edlund is the award-winning author of the high-octane Peter Savage Novels. A member of the International Thriller Writers, Dave's action-political thrillers are often compared to the Dirk Pitt novels by Clive Cussler, the Sigma Series, novels by James Rollins, the Jack Ryan novels by Tom Clancy, and the historical international thrillers of Steve Berry. In Spring 2021, Dave will debut Judgment at Alcatraz, the first full length novel based on the female Mossad assassin Danya Biton (a popular character who was introduced in Hunting Savage, and also appeared in Lethal Savage). When Dave isn't cooking up the latest adventure for Peter Savage, readers can find him working as a leading expert in hydrogen energy. He is an inventor on 114 US patents and more than 300 foreign patents. He has published in excess of 100 technical articles and presentations and has been an invited author of several technical books on alternative energy. Dave is a graduate of the University of Oregon with a doctoral degree in chemistry. His background in science and engineering, combined with extensive travel in North America, Europe, and Asia, provides a deep reservoir of research material for his novels. An avid outdoorsman and shooter, he's hunted throughout North America for big game ranging from wild boar to moose to bear. Dave is a long-time resident of Bend, Oregon, where he lives with his wife and three dogs (The Dude, Lucy Liu, and Tenshi).
