When thinking of adventure books, it’s easy to imagine stories from childhood. Famous tales for children and young teenagers, such as Harry Potter or Percy Jackson books, have defined the concept of what it means to read an adventure.

However, adventure books for adults are just as prominent and enthralling. Covering many genres and concepts, adventure books for adults offer the thrill of an exciting journey alongside a narrative voice appropriate for those who want a more mature read—not to mention discussing topics that might be more relatable the older you are.
