About the author

Ed Adams writes systems fiction—novels about control, alignment, and the structures that operate just beyond visibility. His work moves through technology, finance, and power, following characters who recognise patterns early, and understand the cost of them later.

Across his books, connections accumulate: names recur, organisations persist, and signals pass between stories in ways that are not always explained, but rarely accidental. Some readers refer to this as the “Adamsverse,” although the term suggests more stability than is present.

Within those systems, individuals still meet moments of calibration, misalignment, or brief alignment that carry their own charge. Not everything that matters is structural.

Each novel stands alone. None are entirely separate.

Readers can begin anywhere. The system does the rest.

He lives in the UK.

Reviews

[Christine Harman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is an interesting take on a future earth. We follow the two primes from their safe world out into the scratch where they are being hunted for the knowledge they have downloaded. It's a well written story which has the added benefit of no bad language or unnecessarily descriptive violence.

[Elizabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

With two battling, power is of paramount influence as this world is shaped with trust. A spellbinding story full of twists and turns. You may think you know where this will take you but the journey takes a fresh look at antagonists and the resolution. Captivating with more to follow.

[Frank · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good backstory. Minimal character development. A fair amount of intrigue. Easy reading.
