  27. Author’s Note
  28. Addendum

If I could ask anything from you, dear reader, it would be to please share your thoughts/reviews about the story on Amazon and with your friends. It’s only through reviews and word-of-mouth that this story will find other readers, and I do hope Darwin’s Cipher (and the rest of my books) find as wide an audience as possible.

Again, thank you for taking the chance on a relatively-unknown author and reading what I hope to be a long line of technothrillers.

It’s my intent to release two books a year, one in the science fiction/technothriller category, and another in the mainstream thriller genre.

Given that, I should note that I am releasing another story soon after this novel. A thriller called, The Inside Man.

If you’ll indulge me, below is a brief description of The Inside Man:

As a member of a New York Mafia family, Levi Yoder’s role is unique: he’s a fixer, a solver of problems, a man whose code puts loyalty above all else, yet he’s a man with a conscience.

In THE INSIDE MAN, Levi’s search for the kidnapped grandchild of a Japanese mob boss plunges him into a world filled with chaos.

When he’s falsely accused of a heinous series of crimes, the FBI makes Levi an offer he can’t refuse: use his mob connections to help investigate the murders of several undercover agents or find himself in jail awaiting trial, without a way to clear his name.

With the threat of incarceration hanging over his head and the life of a five-year-old at stake, Levi finds himself tracking a serial killer who he fears might lead him to suspects that are very close to home.

Jail or the life of an innocent little girl, Levi’s left with no choice.

Addendum

All too often, when people think of stories having elements of science and technology, they think of science fiction. Yet, I think for many people, science fiction is stereotyped as rocket ships and laser beams.

They’re wrong.

I’ll note that in Darwin’s Cipher, not one rocket ship or laser beam was used, yet it would be hard to say that the novel wasn’t chock full of scientific topics and technology.

It would also be hard to deny that novels like Jurassic Park, or The Andromeda Strain weren’t technically science fiction, yet they were marketed as thrillers, which is also what they are.

Thus came the birth of a new genre: the technothriller.

The type of novels I write almost always tend to weave elements of science into their fabric. It may seem to some that there are components of my stories that seem fantastic, or impossible, yet it’s my goal to always base things on current science or scientific theory.
