Featured in Reader’s House Magazine
Brian George’s novels draw from his global adventures, spiritual practices, and musical influences, crafting rebellious characters who challenge authority, seek justice unconventionally, and navigate thrilling, authentic, and deeply immersive plots.
Brian George’s novels pulse with the raw energy of lived experience, weaving together adventure, romance, spirituality, and rebellion into gripping narratives. His stories are not merely fiction; they are an extension of his own journey—a life marked by bold escapades, defiance of convention, and an insatiable curiosity about the world. From being shot at in Spain to narrowly escaping an arranged marriage in Iran, George’s global adventures breathe life into his characters, creating deeply authentic and thrilling tales.
The Dream Team series stands as a testament to George’s ability to blend reality with fiction. Each character is shaped by genuine experiences, making them feel real and relatable. Barry Parker, the protagonist, reflects elements of George’s own past, navigating high-stakes scenarios drawn from personal encounters. Unlike typical heroes, Parker and his team fight for justice in unconventional ways, often straddling the fine line between right and wrong. Their methods challenge societal norms, embodying a rebellious spirit reminiscent of legendary figures like Robin Hood and modern anti-establishment icons.
Spirituality and mysticism form an integral layer in George’s storytelling. Having practiced meditation for years and trained under a Chinese master in the Philippines, he infuses his narratives with elements of Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga. The fusion of Taoist principles, clairvoyance, and the use of natural energies in books like New Blood, New Targets lends an ethereal depth to his plots. His characters do not possess supernatural abilities but harness wisdom from ancient teachings to navigate the challenges they face. Whether communicating through ley lines or channeling nature’s forces for survival, these mystical elements add a unique dimension to George’s action-packed stories.
His global adventures not only inspire the settings of his novels but also influence their themes. Southeast Asia, with its rich culture and history, remains one of his favorite backdrops. The people, food, and traditions he encountered during his travels resonate deeply in his writing, bringing authenticity to every scene. The upcoming installment in the Dream Team series, New Bloody Wars, promises to deliver a thrilling climax, drawing upon these rich global experiences.
Music plays a parallel role in his creative process. As a blues harmonica player, George draws inspiration from the raw emotion and rebellious spirit of the genre. The influence of blues greats and rock icons like The Rolling Stones mirrors the defiant tone of his work. Writing, much like playing music, is an act of deep emotional expression for him—whether through poetry, storytelling, or song lyrics.
At the core of George’s work is a powerful critique of systems that favor the establishment over justice. His characters, much like their creator, refuse to conform. Laws, he believes, are often written to maintain power structures, and his protagonists challenge these constraints to carve out their own sense of fairness. His philosophy is simple yet profound—people are mostly good, but governments, more often than not, fail them.
Brian George’s storytelling is more than entertainment; it is an invitation to question authority, embrace adventure, and explore the unseen forces that shape our lives. His novels carry the intensity of a blues performance, the wisdom of ancient traditions, and the adrenaline rush of a high-stakes thriller. Through his work, readers embark on a journey that is both exhilarating and thought-provoking, led by a writer who lives as boldly as the characters he creates.
