A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Glover Wright has a background in entertainment, being lead-guitarist in the 1960’s for American Rock Legends Jerry Lee Lewis and Gene Vincent on their British tours. He recorded as Buddy Britten & the Regents, was with the Beatles in their Hamburg Star Club days and through his friendship with John Lennon was involved with Apple Music as composer and producer. Subsequently he worked for the US military entertaining American troops worldwide. Breaking from music in the 1970’s with writing in mind, he spent time with contract soldiers and seconded SAS units engaged against rebels in Oman, an experience resulting in his debut novel The Torch which was accepted immediately by G.P. Putnam’s Sons of New York and Hutchinson UK, then published worldwide in a number of languages. The film rights of his highly acclaimed novel The Hound of Heaven have recently been sold and he is working in conjunction with award-winning German writer-director Maurice Philip Remy on the screenplay. Glover Wright has published eight novels to date and now lives in Jersey, British Channel Islands. He retains an active interest in entertainment through fund-raising charity events for British servicemen wounded in action. His new thriller HARD ACT is due for publication imminently.

Présentation de l'éditeur

AURORA – Glover Wright If sound never died and could be replayed how many centuries-old beliefs could stand the hard glare of the present? Deep beneath the Mojave desert, one powerful American is obsessed by a project abandoned by the old Soviet Union. A project named BABEL, which threatens world order and history itself. The President of the United States must get to the heart of the secret before dark forces in Europe unleash the devastating psychological weapon. Against a backdrop of political intrigue, the high-running passions of powerful Evangelical America, the secretive heart of the Catholic Church in Rome and the new world of aggressive modern day Russia, the President’s search moves forward at a chilling pace to prevent a meltdown of religious beliefs across the world leading to uncontrollable crowds on the streets and ultimate catastrophe. With Eighth Day Glover Wright took his place in the forefront of British thriller writers. Shadow of Babel is his most incisive, gripping and convincing book to date.
