The Enigma Cube

Alien Artifact, Book 1

By: Douglas E. Richards

Narrated by: Dan Bittner

A riveting near-future thriller. Brilliant, surprising, and unforgettable. From the NY Times best-selling author whose books have sold over a million copies.

"Richards is an extraordinary writer" (Dean Koontz) who can "keep you turning the pages all night long." (Douglas Preston)

An alien object with breathtaking capabilities. And a life-and-death struggle for the future of humanity.

Dr. Kelly Connolly is part of a top-secret team studying the most important find in human history - the Enigma Cube, an alien artifact of incomprehensible power. A cube whose technology can catapult civilization to dizzying heights - or destroy it entirely.

After years of failed attempts to unlock the cube's secrets, all hell suddenly breaks loose. Kelly and a black-ops commando, Justin Boyd, are soon fighting against all odds to stay alive, and to keep the cube out of enemy hands.

As the situation quickly goes from bad to worse, Kelly discovers that the cube is far more dangerous than even she had imagined. And that her actions could lead to nightmarish changes to the nature of reality itself.

The Enigma Cube is a masterful thriller. One crammed with breakneck action, unexpected twists, mind-blowing science, and ethical dilemmas listeners will be contemplating long after they've listened to the last minute.

"Richards is a worthy successor to Michael Crichton." (SF Book dot com)

Awesome Book

I really loved this book. I can't wait to read the next one. I have found a new author. I should've been reading him all along. great story teller.

excellent in all respects

this book my first by this author is excellent. storyline characters and sci-fi all top notch can't wait to get to the second volume. is will also be looking for more by Douglass

Leave out the Nazi torture scenes

I'm a big fan of Mr. Richards but had to fast forward to avoid the Nazi torture sequences. Too terrible to endure. I wish those parts had been omitted entirely.

Best yet!

I believe that the author went out a limb with this novel and pulled it off amazingly! I also believe that this is less "transactional" than other novels from Richards. It feels more like an investment in future opportunities and I am sending this review just before going on to the next book in the series!

Thoroughly Satisfying

This is one excellent thriller. I had to think about time travel at certain points but it has fantastic action and character development.
