Autorenporträt
Peter Scott was born and raised in Sydney, Australia and has written over twenty-five books including non-fiction on Earth Science, the environment, survival and teaching. In the last few years, he has turned to fiction and has written in a variety of genres, mainly historical adventure, science fiction and crime. Graduating from Sydney Teachers' College he later completed part-time university studies gaining a Bachelor of Science, Masters Degrees in Science and Educational Administration and finally a Doctorate in Education. Apart from his part-time education, he has also been a university lecturer, an Australian Army Reserve officer and Naval Cadet instructor.
