British author Harry Patterson, who writes under the pseudonym “Jack Higgins,” has written more than 60 novels.  Since he wrote the book The Eagle Has Landed in 1975, most of his books have become bestsellers.  Patterson was asked what he would like to have known as a boy.  His answer: “That when you get to the top, there’s nothing there.”
