Hammond Innes was exceptional even within an exceptional breed..he was...a romantic adventurer in the style of Rider Haggard, Robert Louis Stevenson and Rudyard Kipling" Guardian "Mr. Innes's readers were addicts when it came to his books, which were cinematic in sweep and sold 40 million copies" New York Times
