Full Description

From the no-award winning, unknown, non-best selling author comes a self-published, hard science fiction novel called The Receiver.

Yeah, there's no publisher, no branding, no major marketing push. Just me and my pen. But the story is fast paced, the science is believable, and the reviews have been positive. So why not help a nobody author build a grassroots audience?

For traditionalists, here's the official sales pitch from my crack shot marketing department (which is also me):
A disgraced particle physics student discovers a hidden message from a long-dead Nobel laureate.
While researching common neutrino tracking telemetry, an obscure data scientist accidentally detects a mysterious deep space object.
A low rank Marine officer charged with investigating a stolen painting suddenly finds himself up against the entirety of the Iranian intelligence agency.
With realistic plot lines and careful world building, this fast-paced, techno-sci-fi thriller pulls no punches as it deftly grabs the reader and doesn't let go. Like a Netflix series,
