About This Book
When terminally ill Jake Bronson emerges from an MRI with an inexplicably altered brain, he gains abilities that make him extraordinarily valuable — and extraordinarily hunted. What unfolds across these three novels is a race against time, across continents, with the lives of people Jake loves hanging in the balance at every turn. But this isn't just a thriller built on action set pieces. At its core, it's the story of a man who has accepted his own death suddenly confronting a reason to live — and everything that comes with that terrifying, desperate hope.
Richard Bard writes with a relentless forward momentum that makes 1,200-plus pages feel lean. He blends high-concept science, international intrigue, and genuine emotional stakes without letting any one element overwhelm the others. The trilogy structure rewards patience — threads planted early pay off in satisfying, unexpected ways — and Bard never loses sight of character in the chaos. Readers who want their pulse-pounding thrills grounded in something real will find this box set delivers on both fronts, start to finish.
