James Barrington is the author of the Agent Paul Richter series and the Eddie Dawson series of books. The name James Barrington is a pen name that the author uses. His real name is Peter Stuart Smith.
Barrington joined the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm as a helicopter pilot, but had his flying career cut short by a a detached retina after one too many basic fixed-wing aerobatics. He transfered to Air Traffic Control where he’d stay for over twenty years of his life. He made his way to the Principality of Andorra in the Pyrenean mountains to retire, but found it barely adequate and decided to give writing a try. That ultimately lead to the publication of his first Paul Richter Thriller book.
Manhunt is the first book in the Agent Paul Richter Thriller series. Paul Richter is an unemployed ex-Naval aviator who is being used to flush out a traitor. A senior officer has gone bad, but they are having trouble identifying who. The powers that be put a deception operation in place. As the trap begins to close in, a Russian intelligence officer flees Moscow and has evidence that points the finger at a different target. Richter has no one to trust and finds him battling both sides, British and Russian.
To Do or Die is the first book in the Eddie Dawson series. Eddie Dawson is an explosives expert and lance-corporal in the Royal Engineers during World War II. He is sent on a mission to France and after completing his task thinks he will return to Britian. Instead, he finds himself sent to German territory where the French have launched an invasion. Dawson and a fellow sapper find themselves caught behind enemy lines with their only escape route blocked, and this is just the beginning of their troubles.
