'Sudden Death' is just a theme park thrill ride. Until it's not. Fresh off his first Marine deployment, Boone is given a choice between two career paths: Intelligence or Scout Sniper.

'Sudden Death' is just a theme park thrill ride. Until it's not. Fresh off his first Marine deployment, Boone is given a choice between two career paths: Intelligence or Scout Sniper. Though he's shown clear aptitude for the second, he's not sure he has what it takes to do the job. When he puts the decision aside to join his buddies on a day of leave, the last thing Boone expects to see is a naval weapons locker in the hands of a man who is clearly not Navy. On impulse, he shadows the man, only to find himself running for his life... smack into a Unit operator. Now he has two options: join the fight or remain behind. But the choice he's been given is really no choice at all. For the only way to save the park is for Boone to embrace his calling. The fate of thousands rests on this one decision. He'd better make it a good one.
Autorenporträt
L.L. Richman has a diverse career background, having spent more than a decade working in radiation physics, and twice that as a director of film and video. Richman is also a pilot and avid photographer.The Biogenesis series explores both the biophysics of chirality and the intricacies of high-energy radiation physics in a fun and entertaining way."I passionately believe that learning can be fun. I think science fiction is an especially powerful medium in which to do this. It serves up knowledge, education, and an expansion of our awareness -- not just of the sciences, but of our own human condition -- in an engaging and easy-to-grasp way.I also believe that to stop learning is to allow a part of you to die. Hopefully, if I've done my part right, it won't feel like learning. Instead, you'll find yourself immersed in an engaging story, and come away having learned something you hadn't known before you began this journey."A 'NASA brat' raised by parents who both worked at the Johnson Space Center, some of Richman's earliest memories center around Mission Control, astronauts, and fast planes. Richman can often be found flying a Piper Cherokee or photographing Deep Sky Objects (DSOs) late at night.For more information on upcoming releases or the latest news on space science and technology, visit www.biogenesiswar.com
