About The Last Khan
The Last Khan is an espionage novel set in the near future, where the world's oil supplies have dwindled, the balance of power has shifted, and the search for alternative fuel sources – and world control – has become dangerous and deadly. The novel has been critically acclaimed by a White House and Congress National Columnist, as well as members of the Council for Emerging National Security Affairs.

About Geoff Hammond
Geoff Hammond is a successful entrepreneur. Although he has been writing for many years, The Last Khan is his first novel. Inexplicably, his extensive treatises related to business ventures and strategic misadventures somehow became the precursors for this seemingly ripped-from-the-headlines fictitious work. He and his wife, Jayne, divide their time between South Florida and Tennessee.
