Avery Mann is the pen name of Bruce Janigian, a former diplomat, international lawyer, and strategic adviser who has spent decades advising governments and global organizations. Drawing on his firsthand experience in diplomacy and high-stakes negotiations, Mann writes thrillers rooted in the realities of international law and strategic intelligence.

His background allows him to pull back the curtain on a world where influence is traded quietly and the stakes are always real. He is the author of the acclaimed Gobscheit Series, a collection of geopolitical thrillers featuring operative Mark Jamison that explore the collision of power, infrastructure, and covert operations. These novels are defined by an unflinching realism and strategic depth, portraying how global power is exercised behind closed doors. Unlike traditional fiction that speculates about power, Mann’s work is informed by lived experience inside the very systems that move nations and markets.

Having sat across the table from oligarchs and government leaders, Mann brings an insider’s understanding to the “gray zones” of global affairs. While Bruce Janigian continues to operate within international legal circles, his writing as Avery Mann provides readers with an immediacy and authenticity rarely found in the genre. His thrillers serve as a sophisticated look at a world where strategy outweighs ideology and every move has a global cost.
