About The Author

Hey, I'm Luke. Our adventures together start here!

As an Amazon bestselling author, I’ve had the honour of sharing my stories with readers all around the world. Whether you’re a history buff, a travel addict, or just looking for a little excitement in your reading, my books are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

I write books that take you on a journey to foreign and exotic places, blending history, adventure, and suspense into a gripping tale.

In my books, you’ll find yourself transported to places like the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the glitzy skyscrapers of Hong Kong, or the shady backstreets of Kathmandu in Nepal. But it’s not just about the locations; my stories are also filled with fascinating characters, unexpected twists, and edge-of-your-seat action.

Stories that take you somewhere...

When you open one of my books, I want you to go somewhere — to feel the crush and colour of a Kathmandu backstreet, smell the air in the chambers beneath the Giza plateau (yes, we all know they’re there), or walk through the lanes of the ancient temples. Every setting is drawn from my own travels — the sounds, the smells, the particular quality of light in a place I’ve walked through myself. Not just reading about the world, but travelling through it.

Endorsements

Here's what readers think:

Eden Black just gets better and better! I couldn’t put this series down. Nonstop action, lots of emotion, and lots of turning the page to see what comes next. Bravo!

Blow the bloody doors off! Luke Richardson has given me more shivers and jumped up shouting from my seat in this series than I care to talk about. I can't express how much I love the Eden Black series.

Fans of Indiana Jones will love this book and series. I’m only disappointed that I have to wait for the next book to come out!
