"Drone" is action-packed, with cutting-edge technology and an unforgettable cast of characters."--W.E.B.

Mike Maden's lifelong fascination with history and politics ultimately led to a Ph.D. in political science from the University of California, Davis, focusing on the areas of conflict, technology, and international relations. After brief stints as a campus lecturer, political consultant, and media commentator, he turned to studies in theology and a decade of work with a Dallas-based nonprofit, where he eventually discovered screenwriting. "Drone" is the result of a recent challenge by two published friends to try his hand at novel writing.
