The Nabatean Secret
Page 49
Sean called Freydís home because Freydís was where Sam was. He had a serious question to ask her after their three-month separation.
Liu and Dylan couldn’t get back to their Freydís cabin soon enough. They’d taken the back seats, so they could canoodle in relative privacy.
Mackenzie, in the co-pilot’s seat, told Carter she’d probably be helping to plan a wedding, maybe two, by looks of it, on Freydís within the next few weeks. The kids and Mackenzie’s parents all went to sleep as soon as they were in the air. It would be a peaceful and uneventful flight home.
“What will you do when you get home, Mackie? Now that all the excitement is over,” Carter amended.
“Oh, it isn’t over,” she answered. “I’ve never stopped being excited about the respirocyte research. Just had to put it on the back burner. I think it’s time to get back to it, especially now that I have access to even more research material. I owe it to the world, don’t you agree?”
“Mackie, as long as we’re together, you have my complete agreement on whatever you want to do. But yes, I think it’s high time to get that project back on track and deliver.”

The Rossler Foundation Mysteries

Here’s what readers are saying about the series:
“All in all, a brilliant series by a master of the techno thrillers turning old much debated mysteries into overwhelming modern engrossing sagas of adventure, heroism and a sense of awe for the many mysteries still unexplained in our universe. Enjoy!”
“I LOVED this series! It's readily apparent that the author drew from a large body of knowledge in writing this series. It's just believable enough to think it could happen someday, and in fact, aligns quite well with some of the current relationships that exist between present day countries and the USA.”
The Exonerated
http://myBook.to/ExoneratedTrilogy
Here’s what readers are saying about the series:
“J.C. Ryan is an author that writes tomes. The great thing about that is that you get great character development and the plots are all intricate, plausible, suspenseful stories that seems to draw you in from the first scenario right up to the end.
The Exonerated series is no exception. Regan St. Clair is a judge. Together with Jake she has her own way in pursuing justice in ensuring that the legal system is applied ...well, justly.”
“What if you had the power to make a difference? Would you? Could you? What if in order to do so you had to join a super-secret organization that might not always play by the rules? What if you stumbled across this mysterious organization only to find out it had been polluted? What if you were a judge that has been worn out and disillusioned by the very justice system you thought you loved?”
“What a great series of books. It seemed like one book instead of three books. The story flowed seamlessly through the three books.”

“J.C. Ryan has done it again. A stunning page turner that reflects the technology and times we're in. A Ludlum like novel that will keep you up all night.”
Excellent series
“It’s no secret, I am a JC Ryan fan. Read all his books so far and enjoyed every one of them. When I saw the cover and the description I thought I was in for a hard science fiction story. But I forgot that JC Ryan is the master of blending real science with fiction in such a way that it is at times impossible to distinguish between the two.
As always, Ryan did his homework, the research that went into this book must have been massive. Combined with Ryan’s vivid imagination the result is a masterful plot, an excellent story, and believable science. At times it's outright scary to realize just how much of what Ryan has weaved into this story is true and real—scientists are really working and succeeding in editing memories, altering moral judgment, creating false memories, and hacking into people’s brains.”
JC Ryan strikes gold a third time!
“JC Ryan is one of my favorite authors.
Sigma Wave represents a new (and different) series of books he is writing - one that is far different than his previous two series that tended to focus on ancient civilizations. With Sigma Wave we are introduced to a new family of protagonists that are knee deep in research into the human brain. Starting by looking to create the ultimate, unfallable lie detector, their research takes them into a completely different direction. Unfortunately, that direction is also being used by a nefarious group who attempt to put a stop to them.”

About JC Ryan
An interview with the author by the editor of Books 'N Pieces Magazine, http://www.altpublish.com/jc-ryan/
JC Ryan
Editor’s note: “JC Ryan and I enjoyed an extensive two-hour Skype session where we spoke of all manner of things, especially his ranking as an author. The visibility of an author is often at the hands of readers. If you look at JC’s ratings, each book enjoys several hundred or more four and five-star reviews, enough to make him notable, and on par with mainstream novelists. I encourage you to read one of his books, or listen to his audiobooks, now in production. You’ll be hooked.”
