Julian Jay Savarin

Julian Jay Savarin ( - ) is a British musician, songwriter, poet and science fiction author.

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.
