À propos des auteurs

Colin Everard worked with Desert Locust Control in the Horn of Africa, as well as in Kenya, the then Tanganyika (now Tanzania), and in Uganda. As head of operations in the field for Desert Locust Control, he was responsible for the strategic mounting and directing of anti-locust campaigns to combat huge invasions of desert locust swarms during an extended plague period; these campaigns were aimed at protecting the agriculture and livestock grazing of the region.
Subsequent to his work with Desert Locust Control, Colin Everard worked in the International Civil Aviation Organization. He lives in Vienna. This is his fourth book.
