ⓘ About Christopher G. Nuttall
Author Christopher G. Nutall has been planning out science fiction books he wanted to write since he first learned to read, which started at a young age. Nutall quickly developed interests in thriller, sci-fi, and fantasy books. He was born and grew up in Edinburgh in the year 1982, the same year as the Falklands War. One time, the library questioned his right to borrow the latest Tom Clancy book, as he was only nine at that time, something that irritated him. During this time, he did not watch a whole lot of television, so his interests were formed by comics and books. He was thirteen years old before he saw a single episode of Star Trek. As he was growing up, he started becoming more and more interested in political and historical affairs, starting with World War II.
