Alex Scarrow is a talented author from England, who has made a name for himself in the world of young adult science fiction with his TimeRiders book series. The series, which began in 2010 with the release of the first book, has been popular among readers and has established Scarrow as a skilled writer in the genre.
Before finding success as an author, Scarrow led a varied and interesting life. He spent his early years in the music business, chasing record deals, and then transitioned into the computer games industry. For over a decade, he worked as a graphic artist and game designer, contributing to the development of several successful titles such as Waterworld, Evolva, The Thing, Spartan, Gates of Troy, and Legion Arena.
Scarrow now spends most of his time writing, often found hunched over his laptop in various coffee shops, tapping away at the keys and observing the world around him. He has published several adult thrillers, including Last Light and A Thousand Suns, and has written for both the young adult audience with the TimeRiders and Plagueland series, as well as for adult readers with his DCI Boyd crime series. He currently resides in England with his wife Debbie and their rescue spaniel, Ozzie.
