Nik Olsen
Nik Olsen is the pen name of a former businessman who, disillusioned by bureaucracy and the pursuit of uncertain future goals dictated by faceless bureaucrats, chose an early retirement. His first book marks the beginning of a trilogy exploring the lives and loves of two men amidst a backdrop of global change. Set in the Middle East, the narrative unfolds amidst plausible disaster scenarios, highlighting the often-irrational and devastating consequences of political policies on ordinary people’s lives, all within the engaging framework of a suspense novel.
While some may find the book controversial, it is primarily intended as an adventurous read that sparks thoughtful debate among its diverse audience. Nik welcomes all objective reviews for his work, though the final book in the trilogy, completed five years ago, remains unpublished, concealing a long-awaited twist.
Since then, he has authored several novels with a slightly more dystopian edge, each maintaining the core elements of an intriguing and entertaining read. These books are available on Amazon and other major platforms.
The adventures of Arthur are set to continue with the publication of the second book in the series in 2025.
