Writings


Robert Adams is known primarily for his post-apocalyptic fiction. His first book, Coming of the Horseclans, published in 1975, was the first of his post-apocalyptic works,[1] and began his Horseclans series. The series is notable for having a detailed world and labyrinthine timeline (many of his Horseclans books are so cross-referenced that they make sense only when read in sequential order). The Horseclans series became his best-known works.[1] While he never completed the series, he wrote 18 novels in the Horseclans series before his death.[1]

From 1979 to 1989, Adams published several books as part of the series Castaways in Time. They used some elements of the "Horseclans" novels (phonetic accents and themes of civilization versus barbarism).[1] While not as popular as the Horseclans series, it has a readership for its unique premises.

Beginning in 1985, Adams published several anthologies which he co-edited with a number of editors including Martin H. Greenberg, Pamela Crippen Adams, and Charles G. Waugh.[1]

He later began publishing The Stairway To Forever book series in 1988, but only was able to complete two books of the series before his death.[1]

Adams' style includes violent, almost non-stop action, and meticulous detail for matters both historical and military. As some of his series progressed he sometimes digressed, expounding conservative and especially libertarian opinions.[citation needed]

Adams died in Apopka, Florida on January 4, 1990.[1]
