Books

Read “The Breakthrough Effect” by our Douglas E. Richards whose books have sold over three million copies at https://amzn.to/3tvKxPz
 
Oliver Scott is the reclusive genius 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 genius. If they can survive long enough to access the enigmatic file, they can lift humanity to unimaginable heights.
 
Read “Colony High” by our David Brin at https://amzn.to/3PXKDHw
 
In this captivating YA science fiction novel, the skeptical high school junior, Mark Bamford, finds himself caught up in a web of mystery and extraterrestrial intrigue. Living in the seemingly ordinary town of Twenty-Nine Palms, California, Mark dismisses the absurd rumor circulating among his classmates — an alien stranded in their midst. Such a clichéd movie rip-off, right? Can’t the math geeks come up with a more convincing hoax?

When Ellie and Zac come to stay with their grandfather at his run-down 1950’s gas station in the middle of the Nevada Desert they soon discover there’s more than just spare parts in the garage.
