About the author

Riko Radojcic writes hard-science technothriller stories that blur the lines between the real and the imagined. The 'real' part is based on his 30+ years of experience in the high-tech industry, and the 'imagined' part are just stories that he made up - but that could happen. His books are a blend of fiction, with characters that make sense, dealing with the non-fictional realities of the semiconductor industry, with some real-world technological considerations and with current events all mixed in to make thrilling hard-to-put-down dramas.

Riko was born in what was then Yugoslavia, spent his teen years in East Pakistan (Bangladesh now), Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania, completed high school in a Switzerland, and then earned his BSc and PhD degrees in Electronic Engineering and Solid-State Physics in England. He enjoyed a rewarding and a very stimulating career in semiconductor industry, acting in a variety of technical, managerial and business development roles and working with a variety of talented people from all over the world.

And now he is a writer, trying to bring to life his very diverse experiences through fictional stories.
