USA TODAY bestselling action adventure thriller author Brandt Legg has 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, the high-flying Legg became ensnarled in the financial whirlwind of the junk bond eighties. The stock market crashed. The Teen Tycoon racked up 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, he emerged from federal prison, chastened and wiser, and began anew.

Nearly three decades later, Legg now uses all that hard-earned firsthand knowledge of conspiracies, corruption and high finance to weave his tales. Legg's page-turning books pulse with authenticity. His series have excited more than 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.

These days, Legg writes full time. Visit BrandtLegg.com, or email Brandt@BrandtLegg.com, he loves to hear from readers and always responds!

5.0 out of 5 stars One scary novel! Highly recommended.

‘Chasing Risk’ is the seventh book of the Chase Malone/Wen Sung techno-thriller series by Brandt Legg. Moreover, like many of the others in this remarkable series, Legg hits the nail on the head with this tale. Almost no day goes by without us meeting new privacy issues, attempts by large corporations to obtain our personal data sometimes to sell on, sometimes to engorge their own databases, to complete the ‘profile’ they create about our individual needs and wants, all aimed at making more money for them. Personal data used to provide intelligence so that a company’s products can more exactly match our expectations; data held under the strictest access controls, protected from any and all attempts at making it public or stealing it, might sound appealing to some. The truth is, every year we read about several major breaches in the security of these databases where we, their customers, become the innocent victims as our information becomes the means for identity fraud and a long etc. As someone who has worked in the security business for over 40 years, I can categorically state that there are no security systems 100% effective. Nor will there be as long as human beings form part of the process.
Now, if that wasn’t scary enough, author Legg has taken a particular use of personal data, and created a convincing story of how this can be abused to the extent of changing the society we know, into something horrendous and terrifying. And when I say ‘convincing’, this was one scary novel!
This is a must-read novel for anyone living in the 21st century. That means you! Whilst entertaining and thrilling at the high standard we have come to expect from this author, it holds a severe warning for all.

This is the type of book that makes you think about how much we are turning over to the tech world. Gives a person a second thought about the outcome. There are a lot of characters, mostly bad guys that done come out on the good in the end. The group that work with Chase make the cut on the good side. It is amazing how Chase and his group come through all the gun fights with very little damage. The book is worth reading just to get an understanding what is coming from the tech end and some of it is already hear.

Sometimes I had to stop reading cuz I would get too entrenched in the story as if I was really living it. I think my blood pressure may have raised a few points so I'd have to take a break. It was a very fast read. Non-stop action and dialogue. I've read several of Brandt's books and have enjoyed them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cracking read.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 27, 2023

At the start, the blurb said this could be read as a stand alone novel. Yes it can but it would be best read in the series. There is a great deal of backstory and even though this is basically covered within the narrative, it would be best to read the series. That is what I am going to do now as this book has got me hooked.
It is an interesting concept known as HAppi which is a possibility in this technical computerised world and it did need Chase and the team to prevent it becoming fulfilled. But there are interested parties determined to stop them. Gritty thriller.

5.0 out of 5 stars A High-Powered, Gripping Techno-Thriller!
Reviewed in Canada on January 3, 2021

In the high-powered techno-thriller “Chasing Risk" fugitive billionaire Chase Malone and former Spy Wen Sung are pitted against a shadowy tech organization backed by the ultra secret “Corporate Intelligence Security Section” (CISS) that can manipulate, control and destroy lives including that of Malone’s brother Boone.

Fast-paced and action-packed the plot opens when Chase and Wen acting as parents to the “created” boy Tu who they snatched from his communist captors are attacked by killers at a carnival only to get caught up in a cat and mouse game with the shadowy “HaPPI” organization that uses data collection company “BANGO” to garner information that destroys lives including Boone Malone’s.

Intensity and suspense build with their plan to bring down the organization facing snipers, gun fights, car chases, their car bombed and a kidnapping. Well-written, the page-turning tension mounts as the intrigue escalates, the plot flowing to a fascinating ending that promises more of the same in the future.

Breathing life into the story Brandt Legg creates characters like the logical, gutsy strategist and talented assassin Wen Sung; shrewd, risk-taker and billionaire Chase Malone; the delightfully brilliant young Tu; and the highly intelligent haphephobic Noah Graham, “the Astronaut”. Yet it’s the dark conniving of Dag Kirrem and the questionable actions of Tess Federgreen that fuel excitement and keep the reader glued to their seat and entranced until finished.

I thoroughly enjoyed “Chasing Risk” and intend to read other books in this series while making sure patrons in my library read this riveting and gripping techno-thriller.
