John Drake

    John Drake crea comedias ingeniosas, inspirándose en los estilos satíricos de Douglas Adams y Terry Pratchett. Impulsado por el deseo de llenar un vacío para los fans de dicho humor, escribe los libros que le gustaría encontrar. Su obra presenta escenarios imaginativos con protagonistas improbables que navegan por eventos históricos con un toque distintivamente absurdo. La escritura de Drake ofrece una deliciosa mezcla de ingenio agudo y tramas inteligentes, creando narrativas que son a la vez entretenidas y que invitan a la reflexión.
