ⓘ About Anthony Price

Anthony Price, born Alan Anthony Price is a British author of a series of mystery thriller novels that he wrote between 1970 and 1990. Of the twenty novels written by Price, nineteen were spy thrillers, save for the nonfiction title, The Eyes of the Fleet: A Popular History of Frigates and Frigate Captains that he published in 1990. The series of novels by Price is arguably one of the most brilliant spy novels that is richly historical fictional yet having high levels of plausibility, is wonderfully interconnected, and brilliantly sustained ever to be written by a single author. It stars the operatives of one of Britain’s most effective branch of intelligence that in a later interview, he asserted was the Research and Development Department.
