AI Meets The Philosophers StoneI wouldn't have thought it possible that Douglas E. Richards could write a book more outrageously complicated, technologically advanced and philosophical to boot, but he did.A Pivot in Time covers all of my favorite genres. Starting with advanced AI and Quantum Physics, to Cyber Warfare and the Art of War, then on to Historical Fiction and Time Travel and winding up with a healthy dose of Philosophy and Humanities.Welcome back to Justin Boyd and Kelly Connolly, now...
One word: Brilliant!
Justin and Kelly use the alien cube to travel back in time to the days of the Roman Empire. Their goal is to rescue Kelly's grandfather, Jim, who became trapped in the past. Jim, a brilliant scientist, was trying to make it to the future in a roundabout way so his weak heart could be repaired and prevent his early death. On their journey to the past, Justin and Kelly meet a Roman senator, Marcus, who seems too good to be true. There is a good reason for this. They learn that Marcus grew up in Ju...
I liked the first book of Alien Artifact. This grew tiresome. Like the first book, this is a multi-story lined book. The first is dealing with the Chinese. I thought this was well done, and kept my attention. Then the second part was the time travel, a very convoluted way to get there and back again. Then the character that they meet, becomes a very "Dan Brownish" of skewing the story of history. The main character has to tell the next 2000 years to a "Roman Senator" to prove the skewed story. T...

I only have 4 more of your books to read but so far I love everything I've read. They are enlightening and made me think of all the jumps we have made in technology in the last 30 years or so. Also confirmed my suspicion that maybe we are moving more quickly than we should. There are so many ethical questions that need to be studied but also what would happen in the wrong hands. I wish this was required reading for everyone in the world, especially the younger people who run on "how quickcan we
Not many novels can wait until they are 2/3 over before they get to the good partOr to rephrase, there aren’t many books that you enjoy reading, and then realize 1/3 from the end, the book hadn’t even gotten started. I can’t say much else without giving the plot away, but Christ, what a great book.I did go back and read the first book in the series before starting this- it definitely helps you get back in the mindset- plus makes it that must more enjoyable of a read.I love the relationship betwe...
Enigma Cube -book 2Otto, Kelly and Justin are back at it. Otto finds another cube, near the river Jordan (oh, I wonder how THIS is going to turn out?) and his wife (what a kind woman! I don’t know that we ever learn her name) allows Otto to time travel before his death in the 1940s thinking he’ll bounce there, see what’s what then immediately go to 2037 and be saved. And it’s exactly that easy, the end. Now go take as soothing nap.OK, not that easy. I think you might guess where it’s all going a...
The Sequel That Should Never Have Been Written (YMMV) (Potential spoilers that I tried hard to not make spoilers.)I like, no I love Douglas E. Richards. He's great writer. He interacts with his readers and fans. His first books, "Wired" and "Amped" were absolutely stellar, the Nick Hall trilogy made for truly riveting reading (flaws and all) and he's continued to write fascinating books, some but not all of them as equally well-written, but all with truly interesting premises, and careful attent...
THE ENIGMA CUBE was an excellent sci-fi novel from Douglas E Richards, successful author of about a dozen sci-fi novels. The first part of the novel that takes place in 2027 describes an enigmatic (heh heh) cube in the possession of the US government that is clearly of alien origin and that possesses properties and an AI that seem to defy the laws of physics. After introducing biologically enhanced operative Boyd and the scientist who will become the love of his life, Kelly, time travel is intro...
Is there a way to give this book more than five stars?Because it deserves a lot more than five stars. A million? =)I was excited when I learned that "The Enigma Cube" will have a sequel- not only because I loved the characters so much, but because the idea of the Cube itself and what it can do, and also learning it's real purpose and why it was created, as something that haunted my thoughts. I expected "A Pivot in Time" to be as good as the "The Enigma Cube", but it had surpassed all my exp[expe...
