SINCLAIR, Andrew (Annandale)
- SINCLAIR, Andrew (Annandale)
(1935-)
UK writer of much fiction and nonfiction. His The Project (1960) comes as close to nuclear HOLOCAUST as possible - a doomsday weapon is just about to go off as the final page ends - without actually meeting the
END OF THE WORLD head-on. AS remains best known for his Gog sequence - Gog(1967), Magog (1972) and King Ludd (1988) - a FABULATION about the Matter of Britain which is half sentimental SATIRE and half mythopoesis.
