Adam Hamdy

Adam Hamdy was born and raised (for the most part) in London. As a child, he spent three years living in Cairo and went to school in Giza, near the Pyramids. He read law at Oxford and Philosophy at London, so he can tell you why something is morally wrong and then come up with cunning small print to enable you to get away with it.

He left a successful career as a management consultant to pursue his passion for storytelling, and now writes novels and screenplays for film and TV.

He’s a Clay Pigeon Shooting Association gold marksman, has almost died rock climbing, and is a veteran (code for experienced but not necessarily good) skier.

He’s fascinated by big questions. Why are we here? What does it all mean? Did Han Solo really have to die?

Adam lives in Mauritius with his wife, author Amy McLellan, and their three children.
