Adam Hamdy (born 12 March 1974) is a Sunday Times best-selling British novelist, screenwriter and film producer best known for his novels, Pendulum, Black 13, and Private Moscow, co-written with James Patterson.
[citation needed] Using seed finance provided by the partners in his consulting firm, Hamdy founded a company that developed specialist online payment systems.
[7] Hamdy co-wrote Private Moscow[8] with James Patterson, and the book became a Sunday Times bestseller upon publication in September 2020.
[13] In February 2020, Hamdy became a vocal critic of the UK Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has written extensively on the subject.
[14][15] Further to this, Hamdy was one of the authors of the John Snow Memorandum, which points out that from evidence-based considerations a "pandemic management strategy relying upon immunity from natural infections for COVID-19 is flawed".
