Andrew P Partington is a writer, musician and IT expert with a philosophical bent, who shares his house with his four-year old dog, a rather affectionate Kelpie cross, black with white patches, who is exceptionally house-trained and endearingly naughty in every other way. He (Andrew, not the dog) has designed websites, programmed in various languages, managed databases and computer infrastructure (clever dog but not that clever!). In other words, Andrew has the requisite background knowledge to create a plausible techno-thriller! But with his experience as an author, this is also a thrilling read that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The Adamantine Disclosure is Andrew's first book in the technological thriller/conspiracy genre, and the sequel, the Bel Algorithm, is available now. Andrew's education has included tertiary units in computer programming, statistics, philosophy, Biblical history, New Testament Greek, the Near-Eastern background to the Old Testament as well as educational philosophy units that covered the scientific method and data gathering. The Adamantine Disclosure is underpinned by solid research into contemporary government surveillance, DNA manipulation, ancient Biblical pre-history and new techniques and recent discoveries in the field of palaeontology. Andrew is also a composer and has composed everything from symphonies to musicals and chamber music to rock albums. He uses his knowledge of New Testament Greek to set of parts of the New Testament to music. Previously Andrew has written fantasy and steampunk novels under the nom de plum Robert Denethon. Writing this book enabled me to engage with a lot of my favourite subjects - the ubiquity of government surveillance, the efforts of some left-wing thinkers to institute a world government, bitcoin, hacking, computer security, the dark web, the literal historical truth or otherwise of the early part of the book of Genesis in the Bible, palaeontology and much more! I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
