[edit] Biography
Born in Dominica, Savarin moved to Great Britain with his family in 1962. He recorded a solo album, Waiters On The Dance (1971) and was the leader and main songwriter in A Time Before This (1970, but some sources claim 1969, 1971 and 1973), which was the only album recorded by his group, Julian's Treatment. As a writer, he is best known for his science fiction trilogy His Lemmus. He wrote a series of action thrillers featuring the exploits of Gordon Gallagher and David Pross, who had been pilot and navigator of a Phantom with the British RAF. Gordon subsequently became a secret agent, and Pross an accomplished pilot of helicopter gunships. Gallagher is an excellent lead character in the James Bond mould, whilst Pross is more grounded with a family life and business interests. Pross has an unusual relationship with a young agent that is almost brother/sister, and has a dual persona in the books - as an individual he is mild mannered and fairly timid. Piloting a gunship he is an amazing and ruthless pilot.
