Michael Saint was born in Cardiff, South Wales, in 1939. His late father, at the age of fourteen (fifteen was the legal age) was employed as a cabin boy on a tramp ship out of Barry.

These remained in Michael’s mind until he retired and became the inspiration for the dramatic prologue of The Djinn’s Retribution.
