An Evening of Thrills: How Science and History Make Great Thrillers
Purchase Tickets Here
New York Times Bestselling writers Steve Berry and James Rollins
Tuesday, January 19, 6:30 p.m.
Hosted at Houston Museum of Natural Science
Book Sales by Murder by the Book
Within the thriller world, there are many sub-genres. Berry and Rollins have carved out their place by writing stories that mix history, science, secrets, conspiracy, international settings, action and adventure. As colleagues and friends, they discovered that while their concepts are similar, Rollins interlaces more science with a little history, while Berry delves into history adding only a dash of science. In this unique pairing, two of the most successful thriller writers in the business will discuss these similarities and differences, along with sharing stories of their research trips together – visiting such places as New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Norway, and even Disney World. And there was that time in Fiji when Berry saved Rollins from the sea snake . . .
