Douglas E. Richards
A riveting near-future thriller. Brilliant, surprising, and unforgettable. From the NY Times best-selling author whose books have sold over a million copies.
"Richards is an extraordinary writer" (Dean Koontz) who can "keep you turning the pages all night long." (Douglas Preston)
An alien object with breathtaking capabilities. And a life-and-death struggle for the future of humanity.
Dr. Kelly Connolly is part of a top-secret team studying the most important find in human history - the Enigma Cube, an alien artifact of incomprehensible power. A cube whose technology can catapult civilization to dizzying heights - or destroy it entirely.
After years of failed attempts to unlock the cube's secrets, all hell suddenly breaks loose. Kelly and a black-ops commando, Justin Boyd, are soon fighting against all odds to stay alive, and to keep the cube out of enemy hands.
As the situation quickly goes from bad to worse, Kelly discovers that the cube is far more dangerous than even she had imagined. And that her actions could lead to nightmarish changes to the nature of reality itself.
The Enigma Cube is a masterful thriller. One crammed with breakneck action, unexpected twists, mind-blowing science, and ethical dilemmas listeners will be contemplating long after they've listened to the last minute.
"Richards is a worthy successor to Michael Crichton." (SF Book dot com)

----- Spoilers after this line ------
In this book there was nothing new, except an all mighty alien artefact (boring) and all the old stuff from his other books. Beside that I was annoyed by the depiction of the Nazis. Sure, what happened in the third Reich was despicable, but I don't believe that all SS soldiers where selected because they are psychopaths as suggested multiple times. Also the scene (which Douglas said in the after word he spend very much time with) where our protagonist discussed killing hitler was weird. A pacifist that was disgusted by the idea to kill enemy soldiers in battle was quasi aroused be the idea of killing Hitler, not so he can't do more harm, but out of pure punishment.
Very similar to his other works

If you read the last few books the author published, then you know exactly what will happen in this one. The only difference is, that this one is packed with even more cliches than the others. Basically it's a story about an absolutely heroic American supersoldier. He is superintelligent, athletic, morally impeccable and more. The same goes for the American physicist he falls in love with. And of course they have the best sex you could imagine and feel the most love one could ever feel. Then there is some kind of supervillain. In that case it's the Chinese and the NAZI's. There are so many exaggerations and cliches that the author should be embarrassed for writing this book. It only gets two stars because it's well narrated. Except for the German he was trying to speak. That what quite bad. Other than that it's not worth the time.
In summary it's too full of superlatives. The good guys in this story, are described as the best, the most intelligent, the most heroic, the most moral persons you could imagine. Of course they are fighting the most evil person there ever lived: Adolf Hitler. All this makes the story absolutely ridiculous and should make Richards feel ashamed of writing this piece of uninspired ....
Badly written book
