Adrian Dawson is the author of the breathtaking bestselling high-tech thriller "Codex" – a complex and highly intelligent thriller in which billionaire Jack Bernstein's life unravels following the terrorist bombing of the airplane on which his daughter was travelling. Soon Jack discovers that not only was the flight downed to stop his daughter from reaching the safety of home, but also that his entire life - everything he has done - for the past twelve years has been carefully controlled. Somebody wants something from Jack, he just doesn't know what it is, nor the lengths they will go in order to get it. The good news is that, in return, he will receive the one thing he never dreamed existed...

The bad news is that, in the process, many thousands of innocent people will die - the finger of blame pointed firmly in Jack's direction.

On its release in digital format, "Codex" climbed straight to the top of the thriller charts, ultimately becoming the Number One Thriller on the UK iBookstore of 2010. The novel was received very warmly by critics and readers alike and still ranks as one of the highest rated books among online retailers.

Adrian's second high tech novel "Sequence" is another complex thriller, this time dealing with the enigma of time travel - with a difference. What if you could travel back in time but could not alter one single event? And what if you could never return? Why would you make the journey and, if you did, just how far would go? When Detective Nick Lambert interviews the sister of an autistic patient he has no way of comprehending the complexity of the events which will unfold. He might just have inadvertently stumbled into the most important human being who ever lived. One who will not only save the world once, but will do it over and over again.

Sequence was released on September 5th 2011 and forms the first installment of one of the most complex and thrilling high tech thriller trilogies ever written, with "[Sequoia]" and "Sequatur" to follow in 2012.

In addition to extensive research and writing on the remainder of the Sequence trilogy, Adrian is also finalising the research to two further, unrelated high tech thriller novels: "Remote" and "Memory" with a tentative release date of summer 2013. Adrian is also the author of a number of darkly humourous short horror stories, ten of which are contained in the digital collection "Vanity". For those unfamiliar with Adrian's work, he hates weak endings in both novels and films. As such, the ending of the novel is always set in stone before he writes a single word.

Born and raised in Yorkshire, Adrian currently lives in Nottinghamshire with his chocolate labrador - Magus.
