Initially the most famous pseudonym and latterly the legal name of the UK author born Trevor Dudley-Smith (1920-1995), in the US from 1973. Other early pseudonyms include Mansell Black, Trevor Burgess, Roger Fitzalan, Howard North, Simon Rattray, Warwick Scott, Caesar Smith and Lesley Stone; later, he became best known under the name Adam Hall for the Quiller series, a long sequence of powerfully pared-down espionage tales, one or two of them – including the first, The Berlin Memorandum (1965; vt The Quiller Memorandum1965) – being Technothrillers.

The distance from Trevor's first books to Quiller was considerable, his early career having been dominated by the radically un-Quiller-like Happy Glade/Deep Wood sequence of children's fantasies beginning with Into the Happy Glade (1943) [for titles see Checklist], some under his original name.
