Nicholas Cain is a well-known American author, particularly recognized for his action-adventure novels. Born and raised in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Cain had a strong connection to the great outdoors from a young age. This love for adventure and excitement would later be reflected in his writing.
Cain's life took a dramatic turn when he volunteered for the Vietnam War. His experiences during this time significantly influenced his writing, providing him with a wealth of material to draw upon for his action-packed novels. After serving in the war, Cain went on to have a successful career in law enforcement. This professional background gave him a unique insight into the world of crime and investigation, further enriching his stories.
Throughout his writing career, Cain published over thirty novels, establishing himself as a prominent figure in the action and adventure genre. He wrote under various pseudonyms, including Jonathan Cain, Robert Baxter, Jack Hawkins, and Nik-Uhernik. However, in 1990, Cain decided to step away from writing and pursue a new career as a private investigator in Los Angeles. This change allowed him to continue exploring the world of crime and investigation, but from a different perspective. Despite no longer writing, Cain's novels remain popular among readers, continuing to inspire new generations of action and adventure enthusiasts.
