Autorenporträt
Christopher Cowley was born and educated in Britain. After training as a metallurgist, he travelled to the Alps and worked there as a mountain guide. His love of the outdoor life and his profession enabled him to travel to places as far-flung as East Africa, South America, India, China and Tibet. From 1984 to 1989, he worked for the Brussels-based Space Research Corporation as the Project Engineer responsible for the manufacture of the Iraqi supergun. During the last thirty years, he and his wife have travelled extensively in the Far East, including visits to the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. He currently lives in Bristol with his wife and family. Also by the author: Guns, Lies and Spies.
