About the author
Brian H. Roberts
6 books186 followers Before becoming an author, BRIAN H. ROBERTS read voraciously (he still does). In doing so, he learned the principles of storytelling and plot structure from the best Sci-Fi writers in the business: Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke, Cory, Herbert, Tchaikovsky, and Weir, to name a few. He stayed abreast of advances in science and technology. And he devoured Thrillers by many of the greats: Tom Clancy, Robin Cook, Michael Crichton, Clive Cussler (and his son, Dirk), Dean Koontz, and James Patterson.
He draws on his life experience for inspiration and realism in his writing: marriage, raising a family, divorce and remarriage, working as a contractor, then as a successful civil engineer. When he could squeeze in the time, he was an avid outdoor adventurer, skier and mountain biker. Now retired, he and his wife traded big city life in Seattle to pursue outdoor adventures of Central Oregon.
He's completed his first series, the EPSILON Sci-Fi Thrillers. His latest book, Wetware, introduces his new Hard Sci-Fi Thriller series, Of Two Minds. Both are a winning combination of Hard Science Fiction and fast-paced action, available in multiple formats on Amazon.com.

This was a great read from start to finish! Mr. Roberts creates a world that takes you in immediately. For someone who sometimes has trouble staying in the story when Sci-Fi stories get too technical, I can happily say that didn't happen with Red Dragon. The momentum doesn't stop, and each character has me wanting to know more of their stories, their lives in this world. Smartly written, and intriguing, I cannot wait for more from this author and series!

Great Sequel
In my review of the first book I was effusive about the excellent writing, editing and hard sci-fi plot realism. Nothing in the first book seemed terribly unlikely to be possible in the near future. This book introduced a Bose-Einstein quantum communicator, which I think, if it's doable, will be many more years in the making, but it could certainly happen! The plot was a bit more complicated and one of the major twists was a tiny bit predictable but overall still loved it and jumping right into the next one. And congrats to Malcolm for finally upping his game 😂

Not as good as the first in the series. The book drags at times. It does have one good twist in it. Recommended.
