Hammond Innes

    15 de julio de 1913 – 10 de junio de 1998

    Ralph Hammond Innes fue un prolífico autor inglés cuyas novelas de suspense a menudo presentaban a hombres comunes arrojados a situaciones extremas. Sus obras se caracterizaban por meticulosas exploraciones de entornos, desde páramos árticos hasta los peligros del mar abierto, obligando a los protagonistas a depender de su ingenio en lugar de la fuerza bruta. Innes exploró frecuentemente temas relacionados con eventos marítimos y más tarde desarrolló un interés por temas ecológicos. Su habilidad para crear narrativas de suspense a partir de circunstancias cotidianas lo convirtió en una figura destacada del género de suspense.
