Hey, it's great to have you visit my Amazon Author Page! My debut novel, THE RADIX, tells the story of paleopathologist John Brynstone's quest to find a legendary relic, lost for centuries and thought to possess powers to heal--or kill. Jeffery Deaver calls it, "A topnotch thriller! Part DA VINCI CODE, part 24, THE RADIX is roller-coaster storytelling at its best" (see more praise below). Look for THE FALSE DOOR, the sequel to THE RADIX, to appear in 2013!Want a little background? Here it goes. I'm a psychologist with research interests in forensic psychology and the history of science. Along the way, I published two nonfiction books on psychology. I have won numerous teaching awards at the University of Colorado at Boulder and, after only four years on campus, was named CU Boulder's best professor. In 2010, I was voted Professor of the Year in a student survey. More than 1700 students take my courses each year in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience. In fact, several of my students, along with my wife, first encouraged me to take a stab at fiction.When I'm not writing, teaching, or touring my imagination, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My wife is also a psychologist and we have three wonderful children (despite being raised by two psychologists, our kids all turned out normal!). I've lived my entire life in Colorado and I love exploring the state's scenic riches, both above and below ground. I love visiting with fellow readers and getting to know people who read my books. I've even named characters after a few readers. Please visit me online (see below) at my website, on Facebook, or on Twitter. Maybe someday we can chat in person at one of my book signings. Thanks for taking time to check out my novels!Website: www.authorbrettking.comFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorBrettKingTwitter: @theWriteKing"Brett King's THE RADIX is a gem of a novel, a thrilling blend of historical mystery and modern intrigue. Lightning paced and expertly told, here is a debut not to be missed!" --James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of THE DOOMSDAY KEY"THE RADIX brims with rich detail, in a story fraught with action, suspense, and intrigue. The reader is in highly capable hands with Brett King--a fresh, exciting voice in the international suspense genre. Settle back, enjoy the ride, and savor this debut." --Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of THE PARIS VENDETTA"Brett King has spun a hair-raising adventure that propels us from the ski slopes of Aspen, Colorado to the secret turrets, hovering high above Paris, of the ancient Notre Dame cathedral. THE RADIX is a relentless, plot-twisting, labyrinthine quest to decipher the medieval mystery of the 'Voynich Manuscript'--a very real tome that still conceals an arcane code that no secret service agency--including the CIA and KGB--has been able to crack in the past five-hundred-years." --Katherine Neville, New York Times bestselling author of THE EIGHT
