The Austin Paradox
REVERED BY MANY, REVILED BY SOME
BUT NONE CAN DOUBT THAT ROBERT JAMES AUSTIN IS REMARKABLE
THE AUSTIN PARADOX is Book 2 in the award-winning, critically acclaimed, New York Times Best Selling MIRACLE MAN series that chronicles the saga of Robert James Austin, the greatest genius in human history, whose medical cures saved countless millions. A fully "stand-alone" novel, THE AUSTIN PARADOX can be enjoyed without having read the series’ first book.
In this emotionally-charged medical/psychological/conspiracy thriller, author William R. Leibowitz takes the reader on an unpredictable action-packed journey. The suspense builds as the twisting plots unfold and Austin battles Big Pharma which views him as its worst enemy, a CIA Director who is hell-bent on exploiting his genius, terrorists who lose control of a biological weapon, and a bevy of corrupt politicians and oligarchs.
William R. Leibowitz has been lauded as a "mastermind storyteller with a unique literary voice" and has been favorably compared by readers and critics to Michael Crichton, Robin Cook, Stephen King, John Grisham and Ken Follett.
THE AUSTIN PARADOX opens with Austin having lost his extraordinary intellectual powers in a laboratory explosion that was intended to kill him. Still in the prime of life, the blast cuts him down at the pinnacle of his brilliance and robs him of his tools. The greatest genius in history now struggles to find meaning in a life that has become devoid of purpose.
Embarking on a journey of self-discovery in an effort to regain his abilities, Austin struggles with private demons that threaten his sanity, a government obsessed with controlling him, and metaphysical forces intent on destroying him. When ruthless political and business interests align to pose an existential threat to humanity, Austin is thrust into the maelstrom.
Doubted even by those who love him, Austin confronts a harrowing paradox as time runs out to save mankind from extinction.
THE AUSTIN PARADOX is the sequel to the critically acclaimed, award winning novel, MIRACLE MAN , which was named by Amazon as ONE OF THE TOP 100 NOVELS OF 2015, a TOP 10 BEST SELLING THRILLER and a TOP 10 NEW YORK TIMES/AMAZON BEST SELLER.

From the quality and depth of his writing to strong literary values, Leibowitz continues to break new ground. Delivering another superb novel, Leibowitz has done his many fans proud with a truly exceptional thriller. The Austin Paradox is recommended without reservation and is an absolute must-read.” … Book Viral
“THE AUSTIN PARADOX grabs from the start and is just as hard to put down as a Robin Cook saga; perhaps more so, because the characters in The Austin Paradox are exceptionally well-done. It’s hard to capture the full impact on the reader of the combination of a medical thriller paired with government and terrorist forces, and interwoven with international intrigue; all wound into one genius’ life and times. The result engages readers on many levels, from political to psychological to spiritual arenas, and is highly recommended for fans of medical and international espionage thrillers.” … The Midwest Book Review
"Leibowitz spins a thriller that simply explodes with angst and a plot that sizzles. Absolutely spellbinding. Leibowitz is our new Grisham/King with a twist and if you read no other crime novel---read this one!! It BURNZZZZ!!" ...The Bookshelf
"Make no mistake - you will be kept on the edge of your seat right from the beginning."

I LOVED Miracle Man, Book I, so I was very eager to begin The Austin Paradox, Book II, and I did, immediately. It’s a story of a superhero, but not one endowed with magical powers. He has a mind, a level of genius, never seen before.
This is where we find Robert James Austin’s mindset as we embark on a mission to save more lives.
There is a force of negativity and destruction in the universe. Highly efficient and infinitely resourceful, it empowers and leads. It gives diseases their resiliency, their tenacity, their propensity to reinvent themselves, resist treatments, regenerate and defensively mutate. It propels them.
Christine, his wife, just wants a normal life, and now she has it…or does she?
William R Leibowitz’s novels have a ring of truth to them, when dealing with Big Pharma and the government. So much of what he writes makes me angry, disgusted, and feeling helpless to do anything about it. I love when an author’s writing brings forth emotions that, at times, seem to overwhelm me. And if these books don’t open your eyes and scare the crap out of you, I don’t know what will.
I have dealt with the affects of the ‘don’t cure the disease, just treat the symptoms’, mentality of those who want more, more money, more control, more….How about you?
The main story, though, is about Robert James Austin and his desire to right the wrongs, all while fighting his personal demons. Robert believes that things should change and wants to help do it, by finding cures and making them accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford it. Man, oh man, if only his cures were real.
The Austin Pardox is different from The Miracle Man, but we are still learning about his genius, or now, it is his lack of it. His life is still in danger from himself, but also from outside forces who want him gone. The book may be different, but it is still just as intense.
A biological weapon, an apocalyptic Islamic caliphate…I wonder how everything will come together. I fear for the entire planet.
I know this is fiction, but I feel it could become all too real. Can we look at William R Leibowitz’s series as a warning? Think about it. Who decides who lives and who dies? Who do you trust? The Austin Paradox left me hopeful and pissed off for The Miracle Man.
I didn’t rate this as high as The Miracle Man. It was a bit different, but I wonder, was it my mood? Did I get dogged down in the details? I wonder if, after reading The Miracle Man, I found The Austin Paradox more predictable. I don’t know, but I find the series to be a special series, and I would highly recommend it to everyone!
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Austin Paradox by William R Liebowitz.

This book is the follow up to Miracle Man, book one. If you have not read book one, it is recommended that you do so. This is so that you can fully appreciate and understand the dynamics between all of the characters. In this book, a lot of the events are due to the outcome of the prior novel.
Christina is still hanging by Robert's side. They share a child together and love each other. Yet, when I talk about people who love Robert, I can't forget to mention Susan. She has been Robert's right hand gal for years. On the opposite side there are the people who hate Robert. Gunther Ramirez was hired to kill Robert by Colum McAlister in the prior novel. It seems that Colum still wants Robert out of the picture.
Director Varneys of the CIA wants Robert to work for him now that his abilities are back. He wants him to build an undetectable cyber infiltration system that he can use to fight against terrorist and hackers.
The book starts out at a nice, steady pace. Not a lot of action going on but it was good to catch up with everyone and where they are now. This is especially nice for me as it was a long lapse between reading the first book and this book that I kind of forgot some things. Once, I found my groove, I was golden.
The story does start picking up speed as it moves along and by the half way point, it was really moving at a faster pace. There is kind of three points of views within this story. There is Robert's, Director Varneys, and Colum. Yet, the author does a nice job of making all of these points of views intertwine together to make one flowing storyline. I have thoroughly enjoyed both of these books.

This is the follow up book to Miracle Man. While I did not read the first book in the series it was explained in detail all I may have missed in the first book so I do not feel left behind. After the accident Robert Austin doesn't not have the intelligence he once had but still feels the pull of desire to cure the incurable the help those without hope. He battles his inner demons in this mile a minute fast paced book. His intelligence returns and as it does he is willing to sacrifice himself to science as he formulates a cure for a disastrous disease that is capable of wiping out human kind. This is not the typical genre I read but I can see myself reading the next book about Bobby and Christine's daughter. I can see her equaling or exceeding her father's intelligence.

The Austin Paradox is a sequel to Miracle Man by William Leibowitz. We left Robert James Austin with eleven Nobel Prizes for cures he contributed to the world. People from all walks of life trying to kill him. Finally, someone locates him and blows up his laboratory, after many attempts to compromise his greatest gift to the medical world. The government will do anything to protect this genius, even putting him and his family in the witness protection program. Now, we find the Austin’s a normal family, living the normal life they couldn’t have previously. The only thing is Robert had to lock his intelligence into the same box as his evil nemesis within his mind. It is only a matter of time before it is opened, much to his wife’s fear.
William Leibowitz is an amazing author whose novels are complex and clever. The Austin Paradox keeps the reader turning the pages as we read about the Austin family and the hidden problem they face. I would say Leibowitz is one the most intriguing authors who reels his readers in until it ends the story. His books are well-written and ingenious. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

If I could give this book any more than 5 stars I most definitely would. I absolutely loved book one, still remember finishing it and almost being breathless. I was desperate to read more about the characters and even though I had to wait, it was well worth it.
The continuing saga in the life of Robert James Austin doesn’t start well for him, but it soon picks up pace. Once he finds his feet again there is no stopping him as he battles his ever worsening demons to find solutions for world problems.
The ending promises more to come and I am really excited to read more. As good as, if not better than, the first book.

he Austin Paradox by William R. Leibowitz is the sequel to Miracle Man. In this one we see a different Robert Austin, one who doesn't have the intelligence he once had but still wants to work at curing diseases. He still has to deal with his personal demons, forces that are trying to destroy him and a government that wants him under control. He is determined to do what's right though whether he still has his intelligence or not.
This book is much like the first one, what it lacks in action it makes up with a good story with multiple meanings and some great characters. I find it interesting in this book that Robert Austin is helping the world to be a better place yet there are so many people who don't see it that way. People have there own perception of what right and wrong is and to some curing diseases is doing wrong and I'm not just talking about the pharmaceutical companies point of view. If you like books that make you think and has a lot of deep meanings then check this one out.

Natural to read the next book after Miracle Man. I cared so much about the characters in Miracle Man I wanted to know what happened. It is very different than Miracle Man but still exposes the greed of Big Pharma.

The Miracle Man family continues – magnificently!
New York author William R. Leibowitz earned his bachelors degree (with high honors!) from New York University and his law degree from Columbia University and practices entertainment law in New York City, representing a cadre of important stars and companies of the entertainment industry. His MIRACLE MAN series was launched with accolades in 2014 and followed in 2018 with Book 2 – THE AUSTN PARADOX. His success in both his legal and his writing careers resembles the stature of his primary character!
After a very dark and entrancing opening Prologue, one that merely hints at the suspense filled thriller that will follow, William updates us as to the status of the adult, Bobby Austin, his recovery from a lab explosion, and his wife Christina. From that point to the end of the book the intensity of the elegant writing by this gifted author captures every cerebral cell, entertaining while terrifying. As the quick look states, ‘THE AUSTIN PARADOX opens with Austin having lost his extraordinary intellectual powers in a laboratory explosion that was intended to kill him. Still in the prime of life, the blast cuts him down at the pinnacle of his brilliance and robs him of his tools. The greatest genius in history now struggles to find meaning in a life that has become devoid of purpose. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery in an effort to regain his abilities, Austin struggles with private demons that threaten his sanity, a government obsessed with controlling him, and metaphysical forces intent on destroying him. When ruthless political and business interests align to pose an existential threat to humanity, Austin is thrust into the maelstrom. Doubted even by those who love him, Austin confronts a harrowing paradox as time runs out to save mankind from extinction.’
A complex person, earning three PhD degrees, Dr Robert James Austin is a genius who among other attributes is responsible for potential cures for diseases that the populace may afford. This invokes the anger and manipulation by both Big Pharma and the government an as the story unfolds the machinations of the CIA and corporate and governmental powers threaten Austin’s genius and very life.
One of the many aspects of William’s writing is his ability to make his superhero a man to whom we can relate completely: that is not an easy assignment when the popular superheroes of literature and film and television are considered. Austin is a genius of enormous powers, but he is also a human who cares deeply about his thoughts, ideas, creations and their impact on humanity. This is a stunning book by an author from whom we can only hope will continue practicing his polished craft. Highly Recommended.

From the very first page of “The Austin Paradox,” author William R. Leibowitz captured my attention. The story is based on a gifted scientist whose research has developed cures for several deadly diseases. Just as he is on the verge of finding a cure for AIDS, his laboratory blows up nearly killing him and his family, and has destroyed a majority of his research.
Readers follow Robert James Austin and his family who are in a WITSC protection program due to some unsavory individuals who want to permanently stop his research in their own quest for power, control and greed. After having survived a five-month coma and massive injuries, Austin realizes he has lost his genius skills and cannot even read or analyze the simplest mathematical formula.
Colum McAlister, the former CEO of one of the largest Big Pharma companies in the world, Bushings Pharmaceuticals is now serving nineteen years in prison for a multitude of charges ranging from money laundering, extortion and murder. However, this does not stop him from continuing his “deadly deeds” from prison. McAlister plans to make and control the cure for a deadly disease that will be developed by another researcher who is under his control.
As readers may know, bio-engineered viruses are a major topic of concern by all world leaders, families around the dinner table, and major research facilities. We have already seen the impact of specific gases that have wiped out communities.
Leibowitz provides readers with well-developed characters and subplots that will scare even the most unshakable personalities. The book does have some terminology that is unfamiliar and might require looking up a few terms. Due to the very detailed nature of the narratives, this is not a fast read, and one will want to take the time to absorb the information, but make no mistake – you will be kept on the edge of your seat right from the beginning.
The “Austin Paradox” is the sequel to the author’s award-winning, “Miracle Man” and I found the story stands firmly on its own merits. William R. Leibowitz does a great job of keeping the suspense and action going throughout the book and I recommend this compelling read to all who enjoy intense medical/psychological thrillers who might ask, “Could this really happen?”

In the Miracle Man, Robert always knew his time was limited to do great. I think that is why he always pushed himself harder and further than any person has ever done before. By doing so, he was hailed as a saviour and a miracle worker with his cures and all of the lives he saved all around the world by making access to his cures affordable for all.
Not all viewed him in the same good light and he made strong enemies with the pharmacy industry. He destroyed their business of making money off of illness and they wanted him stopped. They even went as far to have him killed - instead of killing him, they destroyed a worse part at the end of the Miracle Man. His intelligence.
In a blast designed to kill him, Robert survives but loses all of his genius abilities - he can not even follow his own formulas and notes. When many thought he would lose meaning in life, it is his wife and the birth of their first child that gets him through the worst. While a part of him is always itching to understand, he begins to discover a new way of life. They settle into the witness protection program and life looks like it can finally be "normal".
A man like Robert can not just let his abilities lay dormant - especially when he was on the verge of discovering the cure for AIDS. He begins his own journey of self discovery, unfortunately behind the back of his wife and his assistant - the two women in the whole world who love him unconditionally.
This is all played out in the backdrop of one of the world's worst plot to destroy humanity - a bioengineered disease that will kill millions without a pharmacy owned cure. This plot was developed by the same team that tried to destroy Robert's life.
Not only is he out of time for giving himself the time he needs to recover, he needs to act fast or the world that he lives in will be destroyed forever. You are on the edge of your seat the entire time, watching, waiting and praying. Not to mention being horrified at how quickly this disease spreads and can be spread (and the real life consequences of this type of warfare).
This was a thrilling novel from start to finish with multiple levels of plots that will have you not wanting to put this book down. It is a definite must read!!

The Austin Paradox continued the Miracle Man series without missing a beat. This novel caught my interest immediately and held it throughout the book. I found this novel to have a better pace than the first, and I found it to be more believable as the character faced and overcame his challenges and obstacles. Readers certainly want to read the books in order as a series. I felt this book offered more subplots and more opportunities for readers to journey through the plot twists with deeper understanding and appreciation for the characters and their plights. The author truly created a story that flowed well from the first novel of the series and left readers awaiting the next book.
The Austin Paradox is not an action-packed thriller--but, I couldn't put it down. The author offers readers a lot of details throughout this book. While detail loaded pages sometimes tend to slow a story--this novel remains a page turner as readers develop an invested interest in knowing "what happens next." The story is not an action-packed, death-defying adventure--but, it is a very well thought out, excellent story with characters and a storyline that will both hold the reader's interest and offer enough twists to keep the pages turning.
Would I recommend The Austin Paradox by William R. Leibowitz? I enjoyed this novel more than the first--and certainly plan to read the next book in the series when it is available! I found this story more believable than the first novel from the onset--and I was able to, again, watch characters grow and develop with the story. This book will also appeal to readers interested in the psychological aspects of gifted minds and the political issues of healthcare/medical research and greed. While I found this novel more believable and better paced than the first novel--it is not a fast, action-packed thriller--but, was impossible to put down nonetheless. I enjoyed this book more than the first and look forward to future books from the series.
I received a copy of this novel from the author or publisher for use in a blog review. All opinions are my own.

This book will also appeal to readers interested in the psychological aspects of gifted minds and the political issues of healthcare/medical research and greed. While I found this novel more believable and better paced than the first novel--it is not a fast, action-packed thriller--but, was impossible to put down nonetheless. I enjoyed this book more than the first and look forward to future books from the series.
I received a copy of this novel from the author or publisher for use in a blog review. All opinions are my own.

The Austin Paradox is book two in a series and this is one time I think it's really important to read them in order. Our main character was left at the end of the first book in a state that removed him from the research that was having a profoundly positive on the world, but having a truly devastating effect on him personally. The greatest genius in the world has lost his incredible intellect. He is still smart, but can no longer understand much of his early research and had to walk away from his life as it was. And this happened just as thinks he has discovered the cure for aids. With all the notes destroyed - it is lost.
While Austin tries to settle into a quiet life enjoying family and a simpler life, his former work doing research calls him and it haunts him that people are still being affected by Aids. If he found the cure once, perhaps if he worked through his years of research chronologically, like a child he could slowly grow back into the intellect he had before and again rediscover the cure.
In the background is a world in crisis. There is a terrorist who has had a new super disease created that could wipe out humanity. There is a government whose watchful eye is always on Austin to see if that incredible intellect will re-emerge so they can control and use it. And then there is the former pharmaceutical company owner he put in prison. His mind on revenge and he is willing to do absolutely anything to bring himself back to his former glory, and wealth - including making a deal with the devil himself.
This is a great read and of his two books in this series, this is my favourite. The storyline definitely has more intrigue and thriller elements, the pace is a little quicker and it follows more of the personal stories behind what is happening and less on trying to follow the thoughts behind Austin's research. I can't wait for book three - yes there is one more coming!

The Austin Paradox is the second book in the Miracle Man series, but is self-contained enough that it can be read as a stand-alone novel. I read this - no, I devoured this right after reading The Miracle Man and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Leibowitz crafted the story masterfully with the right elements of tension and suspense and yet was still able to be true to the characters he introduced in The Miracle Man.
I was critical in my review of The Miracle Man about Leibowitz telling how many PhDs and Nobel Prizes the protagonist Robert "Bobby" Austin had as I didn't think it was necessary to make the point that Austin is allegedly the greatest genius known to man. There was very little or none of that in The Austin Paradox, which made it a much more pleasant read for me.
I've fallen in love with Austin and his family. Not only do we have a story how Austin defeats big pharma (this time it is biological warfare) but there is a parallel story about Austin, his wife Christina and their children. We watch their children growing up and how their own genius portrays itself. It goes without saying that we are set up for perhaps the next book where the kids play a more prominent role. Both storylines are equally strong.
There are lots of book blurbs that compare the author to well established authors who spend a lot of time on the NY Times bestseller list. Most of the time I dismiss the comparisons, but The Austin Paradox and it's companion The Miracle Man do compare. Paradox was a pleasure to read and I could not get through it fast enough. Now I have to wait for the third in the series. You should do the same.

This book is a sequel to MIRACLE MAN, a book I really liked. I like this one a little less. The plot is very similar to the first story, with Bobby, the genius scientist, driving himself to deathly extremes to try to find cures for diseases, in this case, AIDS. Since his life is in danger, he and his family are in the federal government’s Witness Protection Program. However, they don’t seem to follow any of the rules. They live right near their original Boston location, they still interact with all of their old colleagues and acquaintances, and Bobby is still doing science. They do have new names, which won’t stop anyone who really wants to find them. The danger in this story originates with the Big Pharma head who is now in jail, but he is able to manipulate others, including some Middle Eastern baddies, to create and use a new disease that has a 100% death rate. There is a lot of plot repetition from the first book, and much explaining of things that happened in that first book, I guess for first-time readers. The scientific and political explanations in this story seem to go on way too long. The villains are almost cartoonish in their villainy, with absolutely no redeeming goodness. Bobby is still the strongest character, and again faces some ethical crossroads. It appears that there will be a third book, or at least the author sets up that possibility. I am glad that I read it so I can continue the story, but I was not as interested this time as I was with the first book. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

William R. Leibowitz's "The Austin Paradox" is intricate, compelling and a page turner. The first few pages is a well-written overview and a recap of Miracle Man. I would definitely recommend reading book 1 to understand the roots of the one and only Robert James Austin. The second book starts on a low, whereby Bobby is a devoted family man but still grieves the loss of his intelligence, one that has been the source and the solution for curing many diseases.
The book shuffles between the narratives of Austin and his family, his research process and breakthroughs, the rise of notorious mastermind Colum McAlister with the support of Ramirez, Huo Jin Gao and Viktor Bazhenov and the inception of HRFS as a means of initiating a biological warfare by Ansar Jamaat. This drives the reader's intrigue and curiosity and keeps you on your toes. William R. Leibowitz's description and style of narration makes the reader go through a rollercoaster of emotions of hope, despair, determination, surprise, intrigue and suspicion. The sub-stories complement the overall plot so well and I was truly amazed when the puzzle pieces came together.
The ending of this book is very promising and I cannot wait to read more about Mirielle; even though it had me on edge with the narrative of CIA's Orin Varneys who is a master manipulator and a cockroach. A 5 star read!

I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
At the end of Miracle Man, Bobby came out of a coma and had lost his genius. Now, he and his wife Christina are living under assumed names and are under government protection. They actually have a "normal" family life...at least that's what they thought for a while. Bobby's genius returns and it's obvious that his daughter has inherited his genius too.
All Bobby wants to do, has ever wanted to do, is use his genius for good. He cured several diseases in the past but now he's up against the same forces he was before; not only his own demons and the government but more.
I liked Miracle Man, but I liked The Austin Paradox even more. The characters continue to evolve (or devolve) and although this isn't a thriller in the usual sense, it's still a page-turner. I definitely recommend reading Miracle Man first. There's a lot that happened in the first book and this is a continuation. Although it touches on what happened in the past, there was so much in Miracle Man that puts occurrences in The Austin Paradox into perspective.
Based on the end of the book, there could be a third book on the way. I hope so!

Another masterpiece from the man William R. Leibowitz's himself
The Austin Paradox is a sequel to the first book Miracle man. Leibowitz's takes us once more on a journey through the events in the life of the man Dr. Austin and his numerous awards in the field of saving lives.
I love the way the author of this book decided to keep the book cover designs identical on both books but yet makes it easy to identify the difference between the two. You definitely need to read the first book in order to get the background story of the flow of this intriguing medical thriller.
This book does very well in creating continuity from the last book which in a way helped to continue the flow. It’s not a fast-paced book as well but has a way of connecting small ideas to big ones as you read the book.
There are also some lessons to be drawn from the family life of Dr. Austin in the novel as it connects to the other aspects of his personality.
William R. Leibowitz's is certainly an amazing writer who I can easily recommend to those seeking for a book in the medical adventure series.

This book is beyond an amazing read
Prepare to be blown away with the best story you ever read. This book is beyond an amazing read. It is exceptionally good. It is hard to put it down. I should read the first book but accidentally read this 2nd book instead. I have no regrets though.
This book is beyond the love of a family. Being selfish and willing to risk your life is what Austin is capable for to save the humankind. The theory of this man is mesmerizing and the power he has to share it to his kids is beyond powerful.
The author is brilliant. He is a wonderful writer who not only give us twist our mind but the most story you can ever read. I really enjoyed this book so very much. One of the best read I had for a very long time.
The best story line you can ever imagined is included in this story. Prepare to be amazed.

Miracle Man book 2 The Austin Paradox makes you think, Author William Leibowitz write a riveting story, giving the reader realistic, shocking and totally believable scientific breakthrough The book makes you feel like this could really be happening in our world today. The Austin Paradox is fantastic from beginning to end. Keeping it easy to turn the pages and keeps the reader wanting more.
I recommend reading book 1 first (Miracle Man) however be sure to have The Austin Paradox nearby because you are going to want to jump right into the next book. The series is written with such intrigue. The research done by Mr Leibowitz is so spot on and extensive, I feel that is part of what made this book so good. The characters well-developed we need more Bobby Austin's in the world. https://writersnauthors.com/austin-pa...

Highly recommend reading the first book before this one!
This is book two in the Miracle Man series. I found myself wishing I had read the first book first. I of course found this book first and just started reading it. Now reading this book instead of the first book first didn’t completely ruin the experience for me, but I do think I missed a lot of pieces by not reading them in order. I have since read the first book too and I will probably be going back and reading book two again before I read any further in the series just to make sure I have all the details. Aside from highly recommending reading the series in order this book was very well written and while it didn’t drag me in immediately, once I did get into it I was fully into it and didn’t want to stop reading! The characters are well written and the author really spent time building the story.

Following the events from the first book, The Austin Paradox picks up after the events from the first book. James Austin along with his family is put into witness protection once he wakes from the coma he was in after the lab explosion. The government is still after him and wants to have him to work for them. On the other side of the spectrum, terrorists are gearing up to take another stab at him and he has to attempt to survive along with keeping his family safe. Terrorism, bio-weapons ang the responsibilities of genius are recurring themes in this book.
The prologue does a good job of setting the stage for those readers who did not read the first book. Another exciting ride ensues where we are now focused on Austin’s wife while still keeping him in the spotlight. Like the first book, this one has an easy writing style and the editing team did great, no grammar or spelling errors.

The Austin Paradox is the exciting second book from The Miracle Man series. Robert James Austin once again continues to battle and struggle with the government, his demons, and other forces that he encounters. He has to act quick to get back what he had work hard for all his life.
When I finished reading The Miracle Man, I was quite pleased to find out that Austin’s story continues. I was not disappointed! I enjoyed catching up with him and Christina, as well as, their new family.
The Austin Paradox is just as thrilling and suspense filled as the first. I did have a hard time at first trying to catch on what was going on but that quickly changed about fifty pages in. I had a hard time wanting to put the book down from then on. The action and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. I had to know what was about to happen. I found the plot to be very unpredictable and I was always guessing where it would lead to next. I could not help but to sit back and wonder if this could really happen in real life.
I give The Austin Paradox a well deserved five plus stars. I hope there will be more in The Miracle Man series in the near future. I can not get enough of this series. William R. Leibowitz really knows how to write a thriller that keeps a reader engaged and feel connected to the characters.
Highly recommended for those who love medical and political thrillers. Awesome read!
I received this book from the author. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

In the Austin Paradox, Austin is coming to terms with losing his intellectual powers. He tries to live the ordinary life with his wife and children. However, when he visits a hospital, he feels something is missing from his life. He feels that since he is no longer doing research on curing diseases, he has lost his sense of purpose. As he takes a journey through self-discovery, he has to overcome several obstacles.
The Austin Paradox is the second novel in the series. I thought the first novel was a bit too long and I felt the same way with this book. About halfway into the book I lost interest in the book and didn't think it was worth my time anymore. If you like reading minute details along with no twists but, until the end, then you might find this book enjoyable.
July 31, 2018
I started reading The Austin Paradox right after I finished the first book in the series titled, Miracle Man. The suspense and mystery continues from the first book and immediately draws you into a world that is sure to send chills down your spine. The Austin Paradox follows the development of a new deadly biological weapon that threatens to wipe out the human race. While this was a fast-paced read for me Leibowitz's writing does a remarkable job of character development and paces the story line in a captivating but intense way that is sure to keep you guessing until the very end. I enjoyed reading The Austin Paradox and recommend it to anyone who loves suspense thrillers.

Another great book by William Leibovitz, I liked the first one better but this one still grabbed my attention I couldn’t put it down. This book explored what COULD happen in the world if the wrong person got their hands on certain diseases which is a terrifying situation. Some parts of the book can be pretty intense for someone with out a medical/science background but it makes the intensity of the threats in our health even more apparent. The same characters are still present plus an added few. The author leaves the book open to possibly another addition which I am hopeful for.

The Austin Paradox continues where Miracle Man left off and, if possible, is even more intense.
Mankind has always been it's own worst enemy, constantly seeking out ways to destroy those of a different creed/race/colour/religion than themselves. The Austin Paradox shows to what lengths some people will go to achieve World domination.
This is a chilling read simply because the (fictional) events unfolding on these pages could actually become a reality should the technical knowledge on how to do so, fall into the wrong hands. Then again, which of us actually has the 'right' hands?

May 28, 2018I loved the first Miracle Man book. So I had very high expectations for the sequel.
Compared to the first book the sequel is somewhat disappointing, though still very good.
I did not like the long chapters on the enemies machinations, especiall in the first half of the book. Even though one needs powerful antagonists I nevertheless want to identify with the hero, not with the jihadists. I skipped some chapters in order to get back to Austin.
The author seems well informed about biochemistry and he has correct information about islamic eschatology.
All in all a very good book.

This sequel to Miracle Man begins with Bobby living a normal life with his family (that is sans his genius brain), away from the government, prying journalists and crazy extremists who want to kill him. Although he may at some point in the future recover his memory, Christina is hopeful that that time is far into the future.
.
Now comes the bad news. More bad guys. Really bad guys. And we're not just talking about the pharmaceutical dudes. A crime against humanity so unbelievable is about to be unleashed on the planet and the world needs Robert James Austin, the genius who lost his memory.
.
A 465 page conclusion that leaves you out of breath.

After finishing The Miracle Man by William R. Leibowitz I quickly found myself diving head first into The Austin Paradox by William R. Leibowitz. The Austin Paradox by William R. Leibowitz can be read as a stand alone book,but I would recommend reading The Miracle Man first as it give insight into Dr. Robert James Austin's character. I found myself enjoying this book even more than the first one because the author explored Dr. Robert James Austin without his extraordinary intellectual powers so I got to see more of him as a man instead of just as a genius.
July 15, 2018
Another excellent installment of the Miracle Man saga! It kept me guessing until the end. I could have used more Christina in it. She was always just away at work or pleading with Bobby to connect with the present. I also could have used more of Pete’s story. There’s a few brief scenes of him but it left me unsatisfied. Hopefully in the next one these two characters will get more spotlight.
