Wright, Glover
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
Working name of Indian-born rock guitarist and thriller author Geoffrey Glover-Wright (1940-2017), in UK from 1947, perhaps best known under his early stage name Buddy Britten, though he also performed as Simon Raverne. He is of some sf interest for The Hound of Heaven (1984), in which a possibly renegade priest, crucified by the Vietcong in the 1960s, is retrieved from Suspended Animation with a message deadly to the Church (see Religion). In Aurora (2003), a similarly reawakened figure conveys a message relating to the 1940s Aurora Project, created and maintained by the American government to conceal the fact that UFOs had landed; the plot thickens into a conspiracy tale involving Secret Masters.
