Early Beta Reader Program for DEADMAN WALKING

In the next few days, I will be opening my free Beta Reader program for the third Jack and Janet prequel titled DEADMAN WALKING.  For those of you who would like to read and provide general comments on the same rough draft I will be sending to my publisher (not yet edited), I will be glad to push a free copy to your kindle or kindle app.  To participate, send an email to Richard.phillips@secondship.net and let me know your kindle’s email address.  It will look like this:  something@kindle.com

Best,

Nanobots Fight Cancer

When I published The Rho Agenda, the nanite technology sounded a bit far-fetched to many. Not so much anymore.

Review of Vessel by Andrew J Morgan

I just finished reading Andrew J Morgan’s excellent novel, VESSEL, and posting a review of it on Amazon.com.  Here it is:

REVIEW TITLE: A Better Extant Before Extant Came To Be

This is a very entertaining and enjoyable story that keeps dialing up the tension throughout. It is great fun to see an emerging indie author take advantage of the kindle self-publishing platform to get his work published where anyone can find it and Andrew Morgan has really shown off some good stuff in Vessel. If you like your sci-fi with a focus on realistic technology back-dropped by a looming alien threat and earthly conspiracies, you should like this one.

Third Book Title Feedback

If you would like to participate in the naming process for Book 3 of the Rho Agenda prequels, I’m looking for two word names … one of which is DEAD, building on the previous two titles (ONCE DEAD and DEAD WRONG).  One of the novel’s major plots is the antagonist’s scheme to upload his cryogenically preserved wife’s brain.

Bane’s Dominion retitled DEAD WRONG.

Quick update. My next novel has been retitled DEAD WRONG (formerly BANE’s DOMINION).

Only Half Evil

When my Amazon author ranking hit 333 yesterday it proved I’m only half evil.

Once Dead Available on Tuesday August 19th

First of all I want to thank all my fans for your support.  We are finally only a day out from the launch of Once Dead.  For those of you who participated in my Beta Reader program or those who will read it shortly, I would very much appreciate it if you take a couple of minutes to rate it on Amazon and post a short review of the novel.  It really does help others to find it.

Thanks again.

Best,

Richard

May The Ripper be with you.

First of all, I want to thank all of you, my fans, who have supported my Rho Agenda novels from the beginning.  I’m very pleased with the August 19th release of Once Dead, the first of three Rho Agenda prequel novels that reveal how Jack and Janet become the team that they are once the Rho Agenda trilogy begins.  I hope that you have as much fun reading it as I did during the writing.  May The Ripper be with you.

Best,

Richard

MacLeod Andrews To Perform “Once Dead” Audiobook

I’m very happy to be able to announce that Brilliance Audio has secured MacLeod Andrews as the audiobook actor for Once Dead.  I was extremely pleased with the fine work he did bringing the Rho Agenda trilogy to life and it is a pleasure to have him on board again.
