Arnar Vik is a Norwegian author based in Oslo. Writing under a pseudonym, Arnar leads a professional life far removed from the literary world. His debut novel, Ospreys, is the first in a series rooted in the covert operations of Norway’s intelligence services. With a focus on realism and tension, Arnar aims to guide readers through stories that feel close to real life—where suspense drives the narrative forward. He makes no grand claims about his literary talents, but hopes the books will offer solid entertainment for anyone who appreciates a gripping thriller. Arnar is currently working with book number three in this series. Akula - the second book - has just come out on Amazon.

The former reporter gives us an insight into what the general Russian thinks of the war in Ukraine and all its implications for the rest of the world.

This was something else. It is really not a meditiation on prophets in my opinion - more a revelation of all the tools there are to rule the simple minds of men. It helps to know a little Bible history here, but I didn't know more than half the proph ...more
