About the Author
Guy Adams lives in Spain, surrounded by rescue animals. Some of them are his family. He isn't a spy, but he is a boy, so naturally he's always dreamed of being one.
Having spent over ten years working as a professional actor and comedian, eventually he decided he'd quite like to eat regularly, so switched careers and became a full-time writer. Nobody said he was clever. Against all odds he managed to stay busy and since then he has written over twenty books.
Reviews
The Clown Service is fun and rips along like the finest episode of the old Avengers series * The Independent on Sunday *
I just couldn't put it down ... highly recommended * FantasyBookReview.co.uk *
The Clown Service is a great beginning to what could become a classic series. Guy Adams has all his pieces in place, and ably demonstrates what he can do with them. If the dark gods of publishing -- and his audience -- so decree. ... one of my top three reads of the year * SFSite.com *
it feels like Men in Black but a lot more British and sensibly funny * The Bookbag *
This is the spy thriller that Douglas Adams never wrote ... it's hilarious and well worth your time * Starburst magazine *
