Calvin is an intelligence agent working for the Imperial government. He's young, his methods are unorthodox, but he gets results. So when a former military hero steals a warship and threatens to start a war, Calvin is sent to eliminate him.
But as he chases his prey across the stars, he realizes they are both pawns in a shadowy chess game that shakes kingdoms, divides empires, and threatens civilization everywhere. And if he is to uncover the mystery and expose the conspiracy he must confront—and embrace—the darkest elements of the galaxy and throw himself and everyone he loves into the line of fire.
Richard is the author of the global best-selling "Phoenix Conspiracy" series. He began publishing in 2011 as a countermeasure to boredom in law school. He graduated from the University of Utah in 2011 in Economics and the J. Reuben Clark Law School in 2014 and has practiced law since 2015. In 2019 he founded Black Ocean Books and is very excited by the upcoming releases slated for 2020. In his free time he loves all things outdoors (all seasons of the year), chess, singing, swimming almost every day, and laughing as much as possible. He is an animal-person, and is especially fond of his cat "Mia" and golden retriever "Bentley".
Richard is the author of The Phoenix Conspiracy series, Secrets of Silverwind, and Betraying Nexus. Richard has also announced that he is working on The Gods Who Bleed series, the Eve Scarlet series, the Murder Files series, the Chimera series, and more. Of particular interest to his readers is The Phoenix Legacy (which takes place in the same universe as The Phoenix Conspiracy some thirty years later).
