Lee D. Blumenthal spent thirty-five years architecting and building the invisible systems that power our modern world, from the global boardrooms of Deloitte to the high-stakes, rapidly changing infrastructure of the healthcare industry. Now, he is deconstructing them.

With a background in Biology and a Master’s in Bioengineering, Lee approaches storytelling with the same precision that defined his career as a systems analyst and CIO. He doesn't just write thrillers; he builds them, drawing on years of disciplined research to explore the intersection of historical genius and modern technical vulnerability.

another great hard science read. The Andromeda Strain has been my inspiration for many years as a great scientific story. Thank for continuing that tradition.

Daniel Laz answered Lee D. Blumenthal's question: Daniel, as a Goodreads friend, can I ask for your help? I am creating a new book-oriented game called 'First Line Challenge,' and I am looking for folks to test it for me for a while. Would you be willing to test? www.spellabcd.com/firstline It is free to play, and eventually, I will be giving away cash to folks who play. This is a real thing and safe, I swear. Lee D. Blumenthal Hi Lee, I tried it and it worked very smoothly. I got today’s Literary Classics question right — Persuasion by Jane Austen — and the whole experience was clear and easy to use.

I think the book was good. It was a little deep into the Horror genre for me, but I still got through it and enjoyed the author's 'world vision.' DB Warren did a good job building the story and coming to some interesting conclusions about a possible ...more

Quotes by Lee D. Blumenthal (?)

“You think your modern laws can contain this fluid? You’ve built a cage of copper and contracts, Samson, but you forgot that a surge doesn’t care about your boardrooms. It only seeks the path of least resistance. And right now, that path goes straight through you.

Benjamin Franklin (alias Dr. Benjamin Pierce)”

“We (America) are not a finished volume, bound in leather and set upon a shelf to gather dust. We are a nation of provisional proofs, always subject to a better draft, always capable of correcting our own errata through the steady application of reason and goodwill.

Benjamin Franklin in The Deep Surge”
