Tony Matthews
Tony Matthews is a highly reclusive Welsh-Australian novelist and historian, and has led an interesting life. He has been ‘headhunted’ by the CIA; guarded Queen Elizabeth, and witnessed terrifying events, including being at the centre of one of the bloodiest military coups in modern history. He discovered a royal princess living secretly in Queensland; rescued a drowning man from a flooded Thai river; almost been blown to pieces by a Communist death squad in Manila; volunteered to paint an orphanage on the banks of the famous River Kwai, and, in a desperate attempt to save U.K. beaches and wildlife, helped to destroy a crippled oil tanker off the coast of Cornwall.
