Book Blurb:When terminally ill combat pilot Jake Bronson emerges from an MRI with extraordinary cognitive powers, everyone wants a piece of his talent—including Battista, one of the world's most dangerous terrorists.  To save his love and her autistic child, Jake is thrust into a deadly chase that leads from the canals of Venice through Monte Carlo and finally to an ancient cavern in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan—where Jake discovers that his newfound talents carry a hidden price that threatens the entire human race.

An all-out, unrelenting thrill ride that will leave you breathless, Richard Bard's debut novel is a spine tingling adventure marrying the political thriller with science fiction to extraordinary effect. An original weave of current events bound by colorful locations and cutting-edge technology, it is a must-read for fans of Michael Crichton, James Rollins, Clive Cussler, and Brad Thor. The dynamic mix of fast-paced action and thought provoking soul challenges the reader to keep pace with every sharp turn and shocking twist. Acclaimed by fans of action, sci-fi, and political thrillers alike, Brainrush is one of the most innovative and entertaining books of the year.

Reviewer Comments:"Brainrush explores the bonds of friendship while pushing the boundaries of science, creating a compelling, action-packed thriller with a climax that's a knock-out!" –CJ Lyons, New York Times bestselling author

 "A terrifically entertaining thriller with three finely executed set pieces strung together with nice characterization and a story that culminates in a particularly outrageous and fitting conclusion.  Especially successful is Bronson, an amiable, low-key tough guy able to rescue his princess, survive brutality, and retain a sense of humor." – Publishers Weekly

"If this startling debut doesn't have you turning pages at breakneck speed, then you're not paying attention. Rich characters, crackling dialogue, and a climactic sequence that is stunning, enervating, and innovative all at once, Richard Bard is a voice to be reckoned with." – Rebecca Forster, USA Today bestselling author

"An inventive and compelling hybrid of science fiction, adventure, and political thriller.  Rather than end the novel with a simple rescue operation, however, this author provides a far more intriguing and unexpected conclusion." – Publishers Weekly (Second Review)

Author Bio:As a young Air Force pilot, Richard was diagnosed with cancer and learned that he had only a few months to live.  But he beat the odds.  He earned a management degree from the University of Notre Dame and after leaving the Air Force he ran three successful companies involving advanced security products and hi-tech displays used by US embassies and government facilities worldwide. He was an active member of the California Crime Prevention Officer's Association and has been published with cover stories in Security magazine and ASIS Security Management magazine.



      Cancer killed Richard Bard's career as a USAF pilot.  But it didn't kill him.  Thirty-six years later he's still going strong.  Now he writes about second chances in the BRAINRUSH thriller series.  When asked what he hopes to achieve as a writer, he said, "The dream for me is to be walking through an airport and notice someone with her head buried in the book. Many readers have said they found it impossible to put down. For me, that's the ultimate compliment."  Bard currently resides with his wonderful wife in Redondo Beach, California, where he remains in excellent health.  Book Two of the series is scheduled for release in December, 2011.       Website:  www.RichardBard.com      Twitter: @Richard_Bard      Facebook:  http://www.facebook.com/#!/BRAINRUSHthebook
