O autorovi

Michael Dobbs

Britský autor Michael Dobbs píše své politické thrillery už dvanáct let a vysloužil si za ně obecně větší oblibu u veřejnosti než v roli konzervativního politika, pravé ruky Margaret Thatcherové a místopředsedy toryovské strany. Tato průprava mu však dává neocenitelnou výhodu před konkurencí: vše, o čem píše, dokonale zná. Prokázal to už ve volné románové trilogii s Francisem Urquhartem v hlavní roli, známé i z českého překladu. Jeho nový hrdina poslanec Goodfellowe už pro kariéru nezabijí ministerské předsedy a krále jako Urquhart. Jako realističtější postava má šanci přežít i v 21. století ve více než prozatímních dvou románech a svému duchovnímu otci tak potvrdit čelní místo mezi současnými britskými autory politických thrillerů.
