Gerald Seymour was a reporter at ITN for fifteen years. He covered events in Vietnam, Borneo, Aden, the Munich Olympics, Israel and Northern Ireland. He has been a full-time writer since 1978.
Gerald Seymour has created the most memorable hero of his long career * Times * PRAISE FOR GERALD SEYMOUR: You don't read Gerald Seymour, you commit to it totally.
