More About the Author

Hi Everyone,

It's great to be part of Amazon's new Author Page. Here's a short bio.

I was born November 12, 1961 in Tokyo, Japan and moved to Los Angeles four years later, in late 1965. I graduated from Harvard School (now Harvard-Westlake) in 1979, then made the move to Washington DC where I attended the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Upon graduating with a degree in international economics (a field in which I was neither particularly gifted nor interested), I worked as a stock broker for two years. One day my best client said, "Chris, you're a nice guy, but you have no idea what you're doing in this business. You might get into trouble one day. You gotta get your butt to business school." I followed his advice and headed down to Austin, Tx, to earn an MBA at UT.

After graduating from UT, I moved even farther east....all the way to Switzerland, where I joined the Union Bank of Switzerland, first in Geneva and then in Zurich. I left banking and worked first as a consultant, and then as the CEO of a small watch company in Neuchatel. The only thing I missed out on was the chocolate business! Anyway, after 7 years in Switzerland, I decided that it was high time to become an author. I'd never written a short story and I hadn't taken a single English class in college. So what? I was a demon reader and I thought for sure I could do. My wonderful wife supported the decision wholeheartedly and we moved back to Austin, where I would write my first novel, Numbered Account.

The rest, as they say, is history....Or, as I say, "history in the making!!"

5.0 out of 5 stars an incredible thrill ride, August 11, 2009
This review is from: Rules of Vengeance (Hardcover)
Christopher Reich's newest book, Rules of Vengeance, is the follow up to his book, Rules of Deception. Yet, while it is recommended that you read the latter book first, it isn't necessary -- as each book can be read as a stand alone.

The book features a very intricate plot: The wife of Dr. Ransom has been missing, and the woman that is standing in her place (fooling everyone by claiming to be Emma) has been revealed as an international secret agent. Only from the mind of Christopher Reich can a plot like this be constructed.

Anyway. While attending a medical convention in London, a group of foreign diplomats in killed in a car explosion, and someone points the finger at, Dr. Ransom, claiming he is the culprit responsible for the explosion. How is this possible?

The book starts out strong and ends even stronger. This is a thrill ride that buckles the reader in and refuses to let go until the final page. That is always what I look for in a great book. And what I always get from, Christopher Reich. Another book I would highly recommend is Conquest: The First Horseman (The Four Horsemen Series, Book 1) another incredible thrill ride that won't let the reader go.

3.0 out of 5 stars A farfetched adventure., July 26, 2009
This review is from: Rules of Vengeance (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I enjoyed this book and found it hard to put down sometimes. That said, it was a bit hard to follow and much harder to swallow.

I have read my share of books, and while understanding that this is fiction, the main characters are practically superhuman. Only Superman can escape the situations that Jonathan and Emma do! And Jonathan, a doctor working in remote corners of the world helping those who need it so desperately, must be a really quick study. He went from being a doctor in Africa to a super-spy able to leap tall buildins in a single bound! No, I mean able to track his super-spy wife while escaping all types of secret government and non-government (maybe) agencies. Phew, what a guy!

I did enjoy this book when I finally accepted that this was more science fiction than fiction. It can be a good read, but if you are looking for a believable spy novel, look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to past standards, September 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This continuation of the series smacks of an author with a contract trying to deliver a book on time with a poor concept in mind. There are glaring technical errors, the pace only picks up after half way and while reading this I really didn't care if either of the protagonists got whacked. The double whammy ending is contrived and no clues are given for an astute reader to pick up on. My take - don't bother.
