About this title

About the Author

Tom Cain is the pseudonym of an award-winning journalist with 25 years’ experience working for Fleet Street newspapers as well as major magazines in Britain and the United States. During the course of his career he has conducted in-depth interviews with senior politicians, billionaire entrepreneurs, Olympic athletes, movie stars, supermodels, and rock legends. He has investigated financial scandals on Wall Street, studio intrigues in Hollywood, and corrupt sports stars in Britain. The first Western journalist to cross the border into Serbia after the US bombing campaign of 1999, Cain has lived in Moscow, Washington, DC, and Havana, Cuba. He edited four magazines, published more than a dozen books, wrote film scripts, and was translated into some 20 languages, before beginning the Accident Man series of thrillers. No Survivors continues the story of Samuel Carver, a former British special forces officer who now "does very bad things to even worse people." Cain lives with his family in Sussex, England. In his spare time he is a fanatical supporter of West Ham United FC and the Washington Redskins; a fan of 24, Life on Mars, Flashman, Elmore Leonard, Oldboy, and The Black Book; a lousy guitarist but a half-decent singer; and an enthusiastic but unsubtle gardener. Canadian readers may be interested to hear that Tom Cain is the brother-in-law of Steven Erikson, the Vancouver-based author of the Mazalan Book of the Fallen series of fantasy novels.
