Andrew James

Andrew James studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University, before taking up a highly successful career at the English Bar. Inspired by a rock carved inscription on a mountainside in Iran relating to Darius, in 2008 he moved to a remote oasis in the Libyan Desert in Egypt, where he spent three years as the guest of the Egyptian government archaeologist responsible for searching for Cambyses's lost army. During this time he researched and wrote his first novel, Blood of Kings. Andrew James currently lives in Portugal.
