Fascinated by the water and all things mechanical, at an early age he expressed a desire to go to sea as an engineer. He began his marine training in 1937 and continued for much of the Second World War until he was conscripted into the army in 1944. He then served in the senior Guards regiment in Germany, Egypt and Palestine. After demobilisation in 1947 he returned to his marine studies, and entered the Merchant Navy in 1949. He left the sea in 1960, and obtained employment as an engineer at the new ATV Television Studios. He retired from the studios in 1983, but then worked as a freelance draughtsman on equipment for the North Sea oil rigs, and also in the glass industry. He finally retired in 1997 and concentrated on his hobbies and writing. This is his first novel.показать меньше
