Peter Morse

Born and educated in London, he spent thirty-four years at Rolls-Royce plc, where SilverWood Books says he became a specialist authority on subsonic, air-breathing missile propulsion systems. After retiring and later consulting for HM Government, he moved into writing fiction.

His books include An Unknown Soldier, Random Consequences, and Recurring Echoes, A Narrative of War. The available publisher material suggests a strong interest in how large historical events, especially the World Wars, shape ordinary lives.

What stands out in his background is the contrast between a highly technical career and a reflective, human-centered body of fiction. That mix helps give his work a grounded feel, with big themes approached through personal stories rather than grand statements.
