肯·福莱特 Ken Follett (1949 -)，现象级畅销小说大师。1978年出版了处女作《风暴岛》，并于次年获得爱伦坡奖，声名鹊起，专职写作。2010年，荣登全球作家富豪榜上第5名。2013年，获得爱伦坡终身大师奖。他的小说出版前，都会请历史学家审读书稿，绝不容许出现任何史实错误。有出版人曾指出，肯·福莱特 “没有一个饱受折磨的灵魂”，他愉快地承认了，“大家都在写内心的痛苦，可我总是觉得很开心”。他说：“很多作家只写能取悦他们自己的东西，并模模糊糊地希望这也能取悦别人。但我每写一页都在清醒地思考：读者会怎么想？读者觉得这真的会发生吗？读者关心这些吗？读者想要知道接下来会发生什么吗？我敬佩那些用文字和新奇结构进行文学实验的作家，但我从不这么玩。” 作者官方网站：www.ken-follett.com
