R.G. Risch



After putting in 4 years of active duty with the U.S. Army, I earned an Electronic Engineering degree under the GI Bill along with several other academic achievements. Eventually I turned away from actual product designing to technical writing and computer art.

As a technical writer, I have written and authored millions of words, business proposals, white papers, service manuals, and other types of technical documentation throughout the years. I have worked for or been contracted to small companies as well as large corporations. I have also worked for various agencies of the federal government, including NASA, the Department of Energy, Social Security Administration, Department of Defense, and the Office of the President of the United State

The Balance of Style


Even though I write science fiction, I assume most writers of other genres experience the same problem I've encounter regarding style.  I have had criticisms about how complex and how poetic I my writing can encompass.  However I am always trying to retain a balance between story flow and technical explanation, while maintaining ease reading to complex prose. 
With this all in mind, I have chosen Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by R.G. Risch  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Evil is not just a theory of paradox, but an actual entity that exists only for itself. From its ether of manifestation that is garlanded in perpetual darkness, it not only influences and seeks the ruination and destruction of everything that resides in our universe, but rushes to embrace its own oblivion as well.

To accomplish this, however, it must hide within the shroud of lies and deceit it spins to manipulate the weak-minded as well as those who choose to ally themselves with it for their own personal gain. For evil must rely on the self-serving interests of the arrogant, the lustful, the power-hungry, the hateful, and the greedy to feed and proliferate. This then becomes the condition of evil’s existence: the baneful ideologies of those who wantonly chose to ignore the needs and rights of others, inducing oppression, fear, pain, and even death throughout the cosmos. And by these means, evil seeks to supplant the balance of the universe with its perverse nature.

And once all that was good has been extinguished by corruption or annihilation, evil will then turn upon and consume what remains: particularly its immoral servants who have assisted its purpose so well … along with itself. And within that terrible instant of unimaginable exploding quantum fury, it will burn brighter than a trillion galaxies to herald its moment of ultimate triumph. But a moment is all that it shall be. And a micro-second later when the last amber burns and flickers out to the demise of dissolving ash, evil will leave its legacy of a totally devoid universe as its everlasting monument to eternal death.”
R.G. Risch, Beyond Mars: Crimson Fleet

“Regardless of the situation, don’t let the bastards win … and have no regrets … for it will be a good day!

-Richard Wakinyan (Martian Fleet Commander)”

“War is nothing more than organized insanity. That's why crazy and unexpected tactics work most of the time. When they don't, we won't live to tell about it.”
R.G. Risch, Beyond Mars: Crimson Fleet
