内容简介

Jack Higgins lived in Belfast till the age of twelve. Leaving school at fifteen, he spent three years with the Royal Horse Guards, serving on the East German border during the Cold War. His subsequent employment included occupations as diverse as circus roustabout, truck driver, clerk and, after taking an honours degree in sociology and social psychology, teacher and university lecturer.

The Eagle Has Landed turned him into an international bestselling author, and his novels have since sold over 250 million copies and have been translated into fifty-five languages. Many of them have also been made into successful films. His recent bestselling novels include Bad Company, A Fine Night for Dying, Dark Justice, Toll for the Brave, Without Mercy and East of Desolation.

作者简介

傑克?希金斯出生於英格蘭北部的一個工人家庭，早年的求學生涯度過一段極為苦悶的歲月；此時的他根本未想過自己具有極佳的寫作潛力。希金斯在大學時代專攻社會學及化學等等，使他後來在里茲謀得教職的工作，接著更在工技學院發表演說，這時希金斯已是為兼職作家，寫作的收入和教職所得相當，並在1975年出版了The Eagle Has Landed一書。

希金斯至目前為止，已創作了五十多部小說；寫作技巧閑熟，尤擅長於故事情節的鋪陳。由於他的作品極受歡迎，使得他成為出版界的一朵奇葩，其作品遍布世界各地，希金斯的作品還有《風暴中心》、《天降雄鷹》，亦由本社取得獨家授權。
