John Eriksen

John Eriksen is a journalist and thriller author based in Hamburg, Germany. With a background in political and economic journalism, he writes thrillers that explore the intersection of power, science, and human fallibility.

His Nordic Protocols series follows marine biologist Amelia Wiedner and investigative journalist Erik Wiedner as they uncover conspiracies spanning Europe, the Arctic, and beyond. From oil platforms in the North Sea to lithium mines in Greenland, the stories combine credible science with geopolitical intrigue—asking what happens when corporations, governments, and desperate individuals collide over resources, survival, and control.

Eriksen's thrillers don't offer easy answers. His characters are complex, his villains have reasons, and his heroes make mistakes. The result is a series that challenges readers to question power structures, environmental policies, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the right choice isn't clear—only the consequences are. When he's not writing, Eriksen travels across Europe and North America, researching locations that become the atmospheric backdrops of his novels.
