Dr. Brahm Gibney never thought her grant on neutrino vectoring would lead her into a world of danger and intrigue. As she delves deeper into her research, she uncovers a mysterious source of particles hurtling through space, with a trajectory that could change everything.
Meanwhile, Chandler Mirren's dreams of a prestigious internship are shattered, leaving him stuck in a dusty library writing a research paper. But when he discovers a cryptic message in the journals of a renowned scientist, he realizes he may have stumbled upon a groundbreaking discovery.
Lieutenant Jack Avari's career in the Marines takes an unexpected turn when he's tasked with investigating a seemingly mundane theft. But as he probes further, he finds himself entangled in a high-stakes game of international espionage, with Earth's fate hanging in the balance.
In this fast-paced, techno-sci-fi thriller, the stakes are high and the tension never lets up. With masterful world-building and a gripping plot, The Receiver will keep readers on the edge of their seats, guessing until the very end.
It's like the Da Vinci Code meets Carl Sagan's Contact, with science that isn't handwavey sci-fi nonsense.
Author’s Note: Thanks for getting this far. If hard sci-fi is your thing, I hope you try The Receiver! I wrote most of it in 2017 and 2018, before ubiquitous access to AI and augmented reality glasses. It’s fun to see what I got right, and I guess we’ll soon know what I got wrong. I’m just an ex-NASA engineer and biotech guy who spent his evenings and weekends pecking at a keyboard. Thanks to readers like you, I think I’ve caught all of the grammar mistakes and typos, but please be kind. This was, indeed, a labor of love.
