Adam Hardy

Adam is a joint pseudonym used by British authors Kenneth Bulmer (1921-2005) and Terry Harknett (1936-?). Bulmer was one of the most prolific authors of Science Fiction. He wrote hundreds of novels under more than a dozen pseudonyms. Harknett is author of almost 200 books, mostly pulp novels in the western and crime genres. Together they wrote, as Adam Hardy, a series about George Abercrombie Fox which starts in 1775 when Fox, named after an uncle hanged at Tyburn, joins the Royal Navy as a powder monkey.
