Chris Allen writes escapist action thrillers having seen and done it all. A former paratrooper, Chris served in three Commonwealth armies across two decades and four continents. He left the military due to injuries, retiring at the rank of Major. In addition to his military career, Chris has served with three law enforcement agencies in Australia, led security operations for an international aid agency in East Timor during the emergency in 1999, and took over the protection of Sydney’s most iconic landmark, the Sydney Opera House after ‘No War’ was painted on the sails. In 2008 Chris was appointed Sheriff of New South Wales, one of Australia’s most historic law enforcement appointments. After self-publishing in 2010, Allen caught the eye of Pan Macmillan’s experimental digital publishing arm, Momentum, and soon became one of their bestselling authors. In his Intrepid series, Chris puts the reader deep within the action. His protagonist, Alex Morgan, represents the embodiment of Chris’s own military and law enforcement insider experience. Intrepid is the Intelligence, Recovery, Protection and Infiltration Division of Interpol, a top secret black-ops taskforce operating in the shadows to protect the world’s most vulnerable people from the worst among us. Cumulative decades of experience in the defence, police, counter-terrorism and justice sectors means Allen often features in the mainstream media, talking about his writing inspiration and publishing journey, including on TV (ABC News, FOX Business) and radio (ABC), and in newspapers (West Australian, Sydney Morning Herald) and magazines (Good Living Magazine, Mindfood). Allen also regularly appears at writing events including the Sydney Writers’ Festival, Perth Writers’ Festival, Book Expo, SpyFest and numerous other writers’ centres and libraries around Australia. Now represented by Curtis Brown Australia, Chris has signed a deal for the full Intrepid series to appear on the big and small screens from 2017 and beyond. Chris and his wife, Sarah, live on the picturesque New South Wales south coast. They have two sons, Morgan and Rhett.
