From Wikipedia
Geoffrey Archer
Not to be confused with Jeffrey Archer.
Geoffrey Archer is a fiction writer from London, England. He specialises in military adventures and spy thrillers and created the character Sam Packer. His writing has some similarity to that of Stephen Coonts, Graham Hurley and Phillip Kerr.
After several false starts in his choice of career, Geoffrey Archer moved into journalism, ending up with ITN in 1969. He covered the troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1970s and the civil war in Beirut in 1976, was allowed to travel with a Polaris nuclear submarine, and eventually became Defence Correspondent for ITN. These experiences prompted him to begin writing stories with military and spy themes.
In 1995 he left ITN to concentrate on writing full time. In 1998 his novel Fire Hawk was short-listed for the Crime Writers' Gold Dagger Award ( )
