Adam Podkowa — books, political thrillers, spy thrillers, and speculative fiction
Adam Podkowa — author of spy thrillers, political fiction, and metaphysical fiction.
Welcome to the author’s official website.
Here you’ll find novels about intelligence agencies, political intrigue, Russian influence, hidden knowledge, miracles, manipulation, and questions that go beyond straightforward suspense.
If you enjoy books filled with suspense, mystery, and deeper layers, choose one of the titles and enter a world where fiction often comes dangerously close to reality.
I don’t write stories about a peaceful world.
I write about a reality in which hidden mechanisms operate beneath the surface of everyday events: secret structures, political games, invisible wars, manipulation, and forces whose existence most people would rather never discover.
In my books, you’ll find suspense, mystery, political risk, metaphysical unease, and characters thrown into situations where more than survival is at stake.
Enter a world where the truth rarely lies where the light falls.

Choose your world:
Departament Theta

Spy thriller / political fiction
Russia has never come to terms with the loss of its influence. NATO is cracking from within. Poland becomes a pawn in a game whose true objective is buried deep beneath layers of political slogans, emotion, and fear.
It is a story about a war that never appears in official reports.
Reactor in Quarantine

Science fiction / metaphysics / mystery
On a neighboring planet, there is a civilization that knows far more about the Universe than Earth does. But even it has a wound of its own — the Reactor, an isolated region whose inhabitants have been deliberately cut off from the full truth.
Is it merely an alien planet, or an echo of a history we know from our own past?
The Dark Side of the Enlightened

Metaphysical thriller / mystery / manipulation
Jarek Targosz was supposed to die. And yet he suddenly wakes up healthy, strong, and surrounded by an energy no one can explain.
The media call it a miracle. People see it as a sign from above. But people begin to gather around Jarek who know more than they should.
Does the miracle really come from God?
Where should you start?
If you enjoy spy thrillers and political tension, start with “The Theta Department”.
If you’re looking for unconventional science fiction with a metaphysical question at its core, choose “Reactor in Quarantine”.
If you’re drawn to mysteries, healing, manipulation, and spiritual darkness, reach for “The Dark Side of the Enlightened”.

Currently writing
I’m working on another novel that blends metaphysics and science fiction. Its working title is:
“I Died on Thursday. That’s How My Story Began.”
It is a novel about death, memory, the world beyond, and questions we usually do not dare to ask too loudly.
Created by: 15%
Planned stage: first draft of the novel.
