Ross Adams writes geopolitical thrillers that ask a simple question. How do small, overlooked economic, environmental and political shifts escalate into global events? It's a question he's spent his career studying.

By day, Ross is a transactional and intellectual property attorney. He holds a degree in History from Princeton University and a law degree with honors from Boston University School of Law, and began his legal career clerking for a U.S. District Judge before moving into business litigation at a major law firm. He later worked as a tech entrepreneur in Central and Eastern Europe, an experience that gave him a firsthand view of how quickly political and economic systems can morph into something new leaving many behind.

That combination, decades of legal practice, a historian's instinct for pattern, and a front-row seat to systemic change, became the analytical foundation for the Hammurabi Code Series. The Siberian Question traces how a crisis begins. The Price of Water shows what happens after it takes hold. Readers have called the series "disturbingly plausible" and "less like fiction than a classified briefing." The Siberian Question was recognized as a Featured Author title in the 2026 BookFest Awards.

Ross is currently at work on the third book in the series, The Iranian Promise.

He lives in Southern California, where he continues to practice law and write about the pressures reshaping the world.
