This novel is my first collaboration ever, a team-up with the esteemed Joshua T. Calvert, and we're excited to learn what you think of it.

Happy reading!

Hi, I have the ask the author feature on, but I admit I've forgotten about it over the years. I just noticed I had three very old questions that I never answered. In any event, I just wanted to remind everyone that it is on, and I will try to be far, far more vigilant in checking to see if any questions have been asked. Alternatively, you can always write to me directly at douglaserichards1@gmail.com.

Thanks!

As always, thanks for your support, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll enjoy this new offering.

All the best,

Doug

The Breakthrough Effect: A Science-Fiction Thriller

Announcement to my friends and followers on Goodreads -- and anyone else who happens to read this :)

I'll let you know when the paperback and audiobook will be available, as well.

Thanks! Have a great summer.

Oliver Scott’s inventions are revolutionary. But he’s hiding a devastating truth . . .

Oliver Scott is the reclusive genius and trillionaire behind countless world-changing breakthroughs. But how does he innovate at such a furious pace? And while most hail him as a savior, what if he’s actually the most dangerous tyrant humanity has ever seen? A man who will stop at nothing to gain absolute power.

Liam Dunne is an elite American operative enhanced with next-level technology, including a prototype supercomputer implanted in his brain. When an encrypted data file is transmitted into this implant, Liam is thrust into a battle for the very soul of humanity. Because the file holds the key to unlocking the mystery of Oliver Scott—and stopping a nightmarish future.

As Liam and the woman he loves race to unravel the truth, they become the targets of a lethal manhunt initiated by the ruthless trillionaire. If they can survive long enough to access the enigmatic file, they can lift humanity to unimaginable heights.

But they’re facing impossible odds. And time is running out . . .

The Breakthrough Effect is a propulsive, action-packed thriller with big ideas, mind-blowing technologies, and twists and turns you won’t see coming. The novel explores such profound concepts as immortality, supercomputer implants, whole brain emulation, and virtual reality, along with nothing less than the nature of the universe—and the meaning of existence.

My science-fiction thriller, The Cure, is finally here! This novel is an updated and expanded version of the Tor-published original, and is now in Kindle Unlimited for the first time.

The Cure examines the science behind what makes psychopaths tick, and wraps this into a science-fiction thriller with twists, turns, and epic intergalactic implications.

While The Cure was quite well received, because the hardcover was priced at $25 when it came out, this was the least widely read of any of my novels. I'm thrilled to finally be able to reissue an updated and expanded version of the novel at a far lower price.

I hope you'll give it a try. Thanks! And happy reading.

After what seems like an eternity--at least to me 🙂 -- my new novel, UNIDENTIFIED, is finally out! It is now available as an eBook (enrolled in Kindle Unlimited), and a paperback, and I'll let you know when the audiobook is available. This one is a science-fiction thriller detailing the compelling evidence that UFOs are here, while offering a mind-blowing fictional take on the reasons why.

As always, if you read this one and enjoy it, I'd be grateful for your help spreading the word. Also, if you get a moment, please consider writing a few sentences in a Goodreads review box so other readers will know what's in store for them.

Thanks! Happy reading.

Hi, I just wanted to announce that my latest science-fiction thriller, THE IMMORTALITY CODE, is now available as an ebook and paperback. I expect the Audible version to be ready in April or May.

I've pasted a synopsis below, in case you have interest. Thanks!

Doug

Allie Keane's breakthrough in quantum computing holds the key to unlocking eternity. But can she survive long enough to use it? A riveting science-fiction thriller from the million-copy NY Times bestselling author.

"Richards is a worthy successor to Michael Crichton." (SF Book dot com)

When Allie Keane makes a revolutionary discovery in quantum computing, she kicks the ultimate hornets' nest. She doesn't know it, but a hidden battle for tech supremacy is raging around the world, and whoever controls her discovery will dominate the globe. Soon, Allie is being hunted by ruthless forces desperate to learn her secret, and only Zachary Reed, a gifted operative within a shadowy government agency, stands in their way.

But as extraordinary as Allie's breakthrough is, it holds the key to unleashing something far bigger. An unrelated technology thousands of years beyond current science. A staggering advance capable of bringing about a utopia, rewriting the laws of life and death, and helping humanity spread throughout the stars.

As long as it doesn't wipe out all life on Earth before that can happen . . .

The Immortality Code is a masterful thriller. One crammed with breakneck action, unexpected twists, mind-blowing science, and ethical dilemmas readers will be contemplating long after they've read the last page.

My latest novel, A Pivot In Time, is now available.

PIVOT is a sequel to The Enigma Cube, which has been Amazon's bestselling novel in both Hard Science Fiction and Time Travel Science Fiction for over six months.

Thanks!
