Adam Christopher was born in Auckland, New Zealand. In 2006, he
moved to the sunny North West of England, where he lives in
domestic bliss with wife and cat in a house next to a canal. Adam's
short fiction has appeared in Pantechnicon, Hub, and Dark Fiction
Magazine.
When not writing Adam can be found drinking tea and obsessing over
Dark Shadows, DC Comics, and 1960s Doctor Who. Adam is also very
bad at epee but knows that Thibault cancels out Capa Ferro, unless
the enemy has studied his Agrippa. Which he has.
"Christopher fulfils our expectations and more: just when we
think the story couldn’t get any weirder, he adds a whole new
layer of weird, bouncing from one unexpected moment of
goofiness to another, keeping us stuck to our chairs until we
think it’ll take an industrial-strength solvent to pry us loose.
Days after finishing the book, you’ll still have a grin on
your face."
-Booklist (Starred Review)
"Adam Christopher's debut novel is a noir, Philip K Dick-ish
science fiction superhero story... a novel of surreal resonances,
things that are like other things, plot turns that hearken to other
plot turns. It's often fascinating, as captivating as a
kaleidoscope... just feel it in all its weird glory."
-Cory Doctorow, author of Makers and Little Brother, on Empire
State
"This is traditional heroism with a decidedly wicked and
iconoclastic twist. Inventive, engaging, bewitching, and
delightful, a feast as much for fans of the tropes as for the
innocents amongst us."
-Greg Rucka, New York Times bestselling author of Alpha, The
Punisher and Batman, on Seven Wonders
