Gordon Thomas

With his dad in the RAF, he traveled widely and received education at the Cairo High School, the Marist Brothers (located in Port Elizabeth, South Africa), and finally at Bedford Modern School. Gordon’s first book, which he completed when he was just seventeen years old, tells the story of this British spy in Russia during World War II, called “Descent Into Danger”. He refused a job offer at a university so that he could accompany a traveling fair for a whole year; using these experiences for his novel “Bed of Nails”.
