About the author

Adam Blade is the house name for the Working Partners Ltd. ghostwriters who write the Beast Quest and Sea Quest series.

Adam Blade is in his late twenties, and was born in Kent, England. His parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and Adam grew up surrounded by his father’s paintings of historic English battles – which left a lifelong mark on his imagination. He was also fascinated by the ancient sword and shield that hung in his father’s office. Adam’s father said they were a Blade family heirloom.

As a boy, Adam would spend days imagining who could have first owned the sword and shield. Eventually, he created a character – Tom, the bravest boy warrior of them all. The idea for Beast Quest was born.

When Adam grew up and decided that he wanted to be a writer, he was stuck for ideas – until he remembered the old sword and shield, and the imaginary boy he had created when he was young. Adam decided to bring Tom fully to life so that readers could go on the kind of adventures that he always wanted to when he was that age… And still does, even though he’s grown up!

When he’s not writing Beast Quest books, Adam enjoys visiting museums and ancient battle sites. His main hobbies are fencing and football. He also spends a lot of time at home running around after his two exotic pets – a tarantula named Ziggy, and a capuchin monkey named Omar. These little rascals were the inspiration for two of the Beasts that Tom faces on his Quest – Arachnid and Claw.

Sadly, Adam does not have his own Fire-Dragon or Horse-Man. But he really wishes he did!

wow. as i said last review. i love me the lady beasts. tusk was cool. i have an affinity for mammoths already, but i loved to see a female beast hold that much power. it was nice to see ferno again too, as his story started beast quest. i have one more left in this chunk of the story, and im excited to read it.

Туск е готин злодей, но книгата е глупава. Мразя сюжети с бунтовници, протестъри и подобни. Не само във фентъзито.

Tom makes a army of rebels to nock Tusk over.

Ferno’s back, yay! What a fantastic story. I can’t believe how SCARY Tusk is, I underestimated her big time. On chapter 4, when her back was described as high as the tallest trees, I had to look at the front cover again to see, and pretty much said ‘holy bleep’. I never knew how massive she really was until I noticed the falling trees in the illustration, hahaha. She’s a really cool! If Tom didn't have the power of his magic armor, she would have killed him several times by her strength and mightiness. :P

This book is a little more violent than the other Beast Quests... (Woohoo, PG blood!)

very exciting!

So awsome

[Vaibhav Bhatia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book that gives readers an idea of how powerful and evil an envious person can be. It mixes fiction with a little reality. The author does a good job in keeping readers in suspense for the next book.
