The Clown Service

Description

Spooks meets The X-Files with a generous helping of Le Carre, and a dash of Stephen King. Toby Greene has been reassigned. The Department- Section 37 Station Office, Wood Green. 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.

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.

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.
