Alex Leopold was born in the United Kingdom, grew up in the Middle East and lives in the United States. He found that what all these cultures have in common is a love for stories that take the reader on a fantastic journey to every corner of these strange new worlds. Barren ice worlds, harsh desert wastelands, impenetrable forests, and violent oceans. Where stories are told of great battles and deep loves. Of order and chaos. Stories that force our heroes to face the monsters roaming the vast unexplored world beyond as well as those that lurk within themselves. A love for these amazing stories is what inspired Alex to write THE WEAPON OF POWER.
