About this title

About the Author

Nick Cook has enjoyed an eclectic and varied career as an author, journalist, broadcaster and entrepreneur, all of it underpinned by his passion for aviation, history and technology. Starting out as a cub-reporter for the trade publication Interavia in the mid-1980s, where he learned about the business of the international aerospace industry from the ground up, Nick subsequently joined the world renowned Jane’s Defence Weekly, initially as a reporter, rising quickly to become Aviation Editor, a position he held until 2001. It was during his first years at Jane’s that Nick started to write books, his first novel, Angel, Archangel, being published in the UK and the US in 1989 to critical acclaim. Angel, Archangel was the culmination of Nick’s lifelong interest in combat aviation, and especially the aerial history of World War 2, and allowed him to indulge something that he was never able to do in the dry analysis of his day-job – combining story-telling with history in the formulation of the ‘what-if’ thriller. In 1991, Nick followed up with his second novel, Aggressor, which was set in the turbulent world of the contemporary Middle East. In this, US and Russian special forces secretly combine to hunt down and kill a rogue fundamentalist Islamic spiritual leader who is linked to a series of terrorists outrages – many years before anyone had ever heard of Osama Bin Laden. He lives and works with his wife and two children in London.
