Thore D. Hansen

Thore Dohse Hansen was born in Northern Germany in 1969. Since completing his studies in political science and sociology, he has been working as a political journalist and communications consultant in Germany and Austria. In 1994 he did research at the MIT in Boston on US-foreign affairs and is an expert for international policy. A relative of Nobel Peace Prize winner Fridtjof Nansen, an explorer of the North Pole, Mr. Hansen has become an avid student of his Scandinavian heritage. His passion for the cultural historical backdrop and the consequences of monotheistic religions as well as the pagans of antiquity brought him to his first novel, The Hand of God.
