Silencing the Thunder (ePub)

Stevenson Mukoro was born in Lewisham, London, on June 26, and grew up in the middle-class suburb of Ughelli. He is the son of Samuel and Rose Mukoro. He currently has two older siblings Macdonald and Regina and two younger siblings, Tina and Kingsley. From an early age, he wanted to be a professional pilot because he often envisioned the beauty of the world from the air.

In high school, however, he developed two other passions that would define his life: a chance encounter with Peter O'Donnell and crashing his principal's car. Crashing the car put paid to a piloting career. A visit to the library during an Easter vacation in 1999 and meeting the late Mr. O'Donnell stirred his interest in writing. That and his brother’s death inspired him to write stories with a host of characters and long tenses.

Stevenson first came to the attention of British readers when he won two consecutive young poetry awards for excellence. Today he is slowly becoming one of England’s acclaimed vivid adventure writers; he communicates to his readers a deep interest in backstage political theories. Disagreeing with the established order that espionage anecdotes are on a decline, he believes that the spying game has become too established or commercialized to be over and that there is “much more to spying than is normally acknowledged.”

He has degrees in business computing and administration but prefers the task of writing instead of a demanding business office. After the July 07 bombings in London, Stevenson wrote several articles about war, terrorism, and the clash of democratic Western societies with fundamentalist Muslim ones.

A reporter once wrote, “His clarity of vision on the local impact of terrorist threat is alarming.” He adds, “Terrorism is terrible business and at times it could rejuvenate a society, but more often than not, it destroys.”

Stevenson is avid enthusiast of unknown heroes whose contributions are hidden in the annals of secret documents or power-hungry
