"Guy Adams is either barking mad or a genius, I haven't decided. His truly fantastic debut is like being caught in a theme park with a killer clown - fun, adventure, the odd cream pie - and a sharp knife when you're not looking."- Mark Chadbourn

"Great idea in very incapable hands. He should email his ideas to Dan Simmons and let him write it." - 'Daniel2' on Goodreads

Guy Adams 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 and led to two sequels: The Future of Modern Policing: 1981 Edition and The Wit and Wisdom of Gene Hunt.

Guy has also written two Torchwood novels, The House That Jack Built and The Men Who Sold the World for BBC Books; and The Case Notes of Sherlock Holmes, a fictional facsimile of a scrapbook kept by Doctor John Watson. This was published in 2009 by Carlton Books in association with the Estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the writer's birth. The first of two brand new Sherlock Holmes novels, The Breath of God, will be published by Titan Books late in 2011 with The Army of Doctor Moreau to follow in 2012.

Guy is also the author of the fantasy novels The World House and its sequel Restoration, published by Angry Robot.

Currently he is working with Hammer Books on novelizations based on movies from 'The Studio that Dripped Blood'. The first, Kronos, (based, of course, on Camp on Blood Island... no not really...) is out now, the second Hands of the Ripper (based on the Bresslaw classic, I only Arsked! ... no, still not really...) will be published next year.
