Guy Adams trained and worked as an actor for twelve years before
becoming a full-time writer. If nothing else this proves he has no
concept of a sensible career. He mugged someone on Emmerdale,
performed a dance routine as Hitler and spent eighteen months
touring his own comedy material around clubs and theatres.
He is the author of the best-selling Rules of Modern Policing- 1973
Edition, a spoof police manual 'written by' DCI Gene Hunt of Life
On Mars. Published by Transworld, it has sold over 120, 000
copies.
Guy has also written a two-volume series companion to the show
published by Simon & Schuster;a Torchwood novel, The House That
Jack Built (BBC Books); and The Case Notes of Sherlock Holmes, a
fictional facsimile of a scrapbook kept by Doctor John Watson.
Carlton Books published it in 2009 in association with the Estate
of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of
the writer's birth. The author lives in Alicante, Spain.
"A fearless grand adventure of escalating escapades and escapes so
hair-raising that Adams' deranged imagination is barely able to
contain them all. I knew we were in trouble as soon as the ostrich
appeared. It's a fearless, hurtling hell of a debut."
- Christopher Fowler
"This is the kind of book that 'Best of Lists' were made for. Nine
and Three Quarters out of Ten"
- Graeme's Fantasy Book Review
"Strange and wonderful The World House will take you on a long
bizarre journey within four walls, carrying you into dark
imaginative regions from room to room, basement to attic, and leave
you with the feeling that a journey to the centre of the earth, or
to the moon, would be no less exhilarating."
- Garry Kilworth
"Looking back at that first book, I could see how carefully Adams
had planted the seeds for what would happen in Restoration, and I
applaud him for an effort well done. ... I enjoyed how this novel
was intricately woven into the fabric of the first book, giving
greater depth to each and creating a richer whole. Restoration is a
complicated and tightly knit story of destiny and perseverance, and
it’s definitely one of the more unusual tales you’ll pick up."
