Kent Anderson
1962
The author Kent Anderson, and not the author B. Kent Anderson with whom he has sometimes been confused with, is a highly prolific screenwriter and novelist who has been writing for a great number of years now, with some forty books to his name and counting. With a past in the Special Forces whereby he served as an agent, he has had a wealth of experience to draw from when writing his many novels. Using detail and precision he is able to craft a tightly knitted thriller, filled with drama and action that keeps the reader hooked right until the final shocking climax. Spending time stationed in Vietnam as well, along with serving as a police officer, there’s no shortage of background experience for this writer to choose from. This can be seen in the writing itself as he tends not to shy away from the more gruesome and brutal aspects of war, opting instead to show it as it really is without flinching. Over the years this has led to him being held up in high regards by both his peers and contemporaries due to his uncompromising standards of writing. Whilst some might turn away from these shocking depictions though, many others have gravitated towards him, providing him with one of the largest fan-bases to date.
