Order of Adrian Tchaikovsky Books
British author Adrian Czajkowski publishes his fantasy and science fiction works under the pen name Adrian Tchaikovsky. His educational background combines Zoology and Psychology from the University of Reading, after which he pursued a career as a legal executive.
Tchaikovsky is best known for his Shadows of the Apt series, which originated from an innovative source - a roleplaying game called Bugworld that he ran during his university years. This creative approach to storytelling remains central to his writing process today, and he continues to use roleplaying methods and LARPing to develop his narratives and craft compelling action sequences.
He launched his publishing career in 2008 with Empire in Black and Gold, marking his debut as a novelist. Tchaikovsky currently resides in Leeds, England, where he lives with his wife and son.
