Dr. Allen E. Goldenthal works and writes from his homes in New Zealand and China.  As an internationally known consultant and auditor of the biopharmaceutical industry, his work has taken him across the globe, but no matter where he may be, New Zealand is always home.  He is the author of the Kahana Chronicles series of books, describing how one family has affected the world dramatically, doing so from the shadows and rarely recognized for what they have done, as history is controlled by the victors. His writing regarding this family is more than a passion but an exploration of his own past because he is a descendant of the Kahana.
