Über den Autor
John Rhodes was born during World War II while his father was serving at an RAF Fighter Command airfield. After the war he grew up in London, where, he says, the remnants of bombed-out buildings served as our adventure playgrounds. A Cambridge University history graduate, he is the author of Infinite Stakes, the sequel to the award-winning Breaking Point.
