John Barber was born in London at the height of the UK Post War baby boom. The Education Act of 1944 saw great changes in the way the nation was taught; the main one being that all children stayed at school until the age of 15 (later increased to 16). For the first time working class children were able to reach higher levels of academic study and the opportunity to gain further educational qualifications at University.
This explosion in education brought forth a new aspirational middle class; others remained true to their working class roots. The author belongs somewhere between the two. Many of the author's main characters have their genesis in this educational revolution. Their dialogue though idiosyncratic can normally be understood but like all working class speech it is liberally sprinkled with strange boyhood phrases and a passing nod to cockney rhyming slang.
John Barber's novels are set in fictional English towns where sexual intrigue and political in-fighting is rife beneath a pleasant, small town veneer of respectability.
They fall within the cozy, traditional British detective sections of mystery fiction.
He has been writing professionally since 1996 when he began to contribute articles to magazines on social and local history. His first published book in 2002 was a non-fiction work entitled The Camden Town Murder which investigated a famous murder mystery of 1907 and names the killer. This is still available in softback and as an ebook, although not available from Smashwords
John Barber had careers in Advertising, International Banking and the Wine Industry before becoming Town Centre Manager in his home town of Hertford. He is now retired and lives with his wife and two cats on an island in the middle of Hertford and spends his time between local community projects and writing further novels.

¡Una de las etapas más aclamadas de la historia de los Transformers!
¡La guerra entre Autobots y Decepticons ha terminado! Bumblebee y sus compañeros intentan mantener el control en un mundo sin Optimus Prime, mientras su co-líder Rodimus parte en busca de los Caballeros de Cybertron. En su planeta natal, la situación dista de ser perfecta, con el gobierno provisional de Bumblebee en constante tensión.
Por su lado, Prowl se defiende de los Decepticons que quedan a cualquier coste que sea necesario, al mismo tiempo que Ironhide aparece acompañado por los Dinobots y Starscream ejecuta su plan maestro. La situación de paz es más conflictiva de lo que nunca fue en tiempos de guerra. Traiciones, conspiraciones, asesinatos, política, sorpresas y pactos de pasillo se suceden en una de las etapas más aclamadas de la historia de los Transformers.
La crítica americana dice:
"Allí donde More Than Meets The Eye es una aventura de acción y comedia, con profundidad, Robots in Disguise se revela como un auténtico thriller político, con la misma profundidad. (4 de 5)" Comic Book Resources
