Adam Holcombe Unveils The Bounty Inc. From Gam Gam to the Galaxy!
On October 15th, Holcombe will launch his highly anticipated new science fiction universe with Bounty Inc., representing a genre shift from his previous fantasy works while maintaining the character driven storytelling and blend of light and dark tones that defined the Gam Gam series.
The novel follows Wyn, a character who throws away his life of luxury to pursue an unconventional dream: creating the galaxy’s first bounty hunter organisation. The setup immediately establishes Holcombe’s trademark narrative style, taking what seems like a chaotic idea that shouldn’t work and building a compelling story around it.
For readers who fell in love with Gam Gam’s unique blend of knitting and necromancy, Bounty Inc. offers an opportunity to explore a new universe filled with similarly compelling characters and relationships, this time against a backdrop of interstellar bounty hunting and galactic adventure.
Holcombe’s previously released series, The Chronicles of Gam Gam, features a rather unconventional protagonist: a necromantic grandmother who combines knitting, kindness, and raising the decaying undead. The series opener, A Necromancer Called Gam Gam, was described by readers as “an unlikely blend of knitting, kindness, and raising the decaying undead that took me on an emotional journey exploring loss and grief”.
The series gained a devoted following for its unique ability to balance whimsical elements with deep emotional exploration. One reviewer noted that it became “one of my favourite books I read last year,” praising its unexpected handling of themes like loss and grief through the lens of knitting and necromancy. The Gam Gam series established Holcombe’s signature style: blending unconventional genre combinations with heartfelt storytelling that doesn’t shy away from emotional depth while maintaining a sense of warmth and humour.
This established foundation in fantasy storytelling with emotional resonance makes Holcombe’s pivot to science fiction particularly intriguing to his existing readers and new audiences alike.
Introducing Bounty Inc.: A New Universe Born
Blurb:
A dream lives on while a will is strong, but a significant inheritance from a recently-deceased father sure helps too.
When Wyn throws away his easy life to open the galaxy’s first bounty hunter organization and become a bounty hunter himself, he soon learns that a strong support system will be needed. A support system like an unwise mentor, her giant lizard ex-girlfriend, a woman trapped within her armor, a suspicious cyborg, a possible war criminal, several thousand beetles, and a ten-year-old insectoid with a pet.
Money is never endless, however, and Wyn will need to lead his new friends down a dangerous path to prove Bounty Inc.’s worth and keep his dream alive.

Author Bio:
Adam Holcombe daylights as a programmer and moonlights as an author. After spending years toying with the idea of writing, he decided to commit and work toward releasing his first novel. Then Gam Gam got in the way, and now he’s writing too many stories to count.
When he’s not locking himself in a cold basement to type away, he can be found squishing his dog (but not too hard), squawking at his tortoise (but not too loudly), goofing off with his wife and daughter (in perfectly ordinary, non-weird ways), playing D&D with friends (I’m playing a character now!), or the usual chilling at home. He is a lover of books, board games, video games, and swords.
He is the author of the Chronicles of Gam Gam series featuring the titular necromantic grandmother Gam Gam, and the Bounty Inc. universe which will be a collective of sci-fi novels spanning a galaxy. You can find out more about both series, along with future publishing news, and additional book content at bountyink.com. Onto the next one!
