The Boss- August Shining, an ex-Cambridge, Cold War-era spy. The Mission- Charged with protecting Great Britain and its interests from paranormal terrorism. The Threat- An old enemy has returned, and with him Operation Black Earth, a Soviet plan to create the ultimate insurgents by re-animating the dead.
The Clown Service is fun and rips along like the finest episode of the old Avengers series * The Independent on Sunday *
I just couldnt 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 ... its hilarious and well worth your time * Starburst magazine *
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.
