Happy New Year to all my fans out there.  I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are raring to get back to work.  I am.  You may be wondering about the title to this blog post … as well you should.  Let’s just say it’s a teaser to my upcoming Jack ‘The Ripper’ Gregory prequel “Once Dead” that I’m hard at work on.  I’ll be using that account to periodically feed little tidbits you’ll recognize in the story when the novel comes out.  As for the release schedule, that will be set by my publisher, but I’m aiming for my initial draft to be complete this spring and in the hands of my editor by then.  Hopefully the final edit and publication won’t take too long after that.  Enjoy.  Richard

    Hello, just finished listening to the trilogy on audio. The narrator is great and your story is incredible. The realism of the technology really added to the believability that these kids were really being “upgraded”.

    I was however saddened that Jennifer had to go bye-bye. However, I feel that there might still be room for a 4th novel. With the RHO ship floating around somewhere with enough power left over for some form of reconnection. Or, they could have been wormholed back to the alien planet – which would open up a whole new dimension of story telling.

    This is one story line that I will definitely be recommending to my friends!!

      Thanks Captain. Glad you enjoyed it. I’ll keep my nose to the grindstone working on the next novel. Best. Richard

    hi, richard. i must say i could not stop until i’ve read all 3 books. i myself like to write sci-fi, so it was great.
    however, at the last book, i see some unanswered questions there… roby? the second ship? etc.
    are you intending to follow up with heather & mark?

    take care, marcelo

      Thanks Marcelo. Yes, I will be following up with Robby and the others. First though, I’m working hard to finish my Jack Gregory prequel titled “Once Dead”. Thank you for reading my novels and following up.
      Best,
      Richard

    I’m new to the Rho Agenda series and have just finished Second Ship. I am very impressed and in the process of reading Immune. Richard is a gifted writer and I suspect we’ll see more from him in the future.

    I enjoyed all three books and couldn’t put them down. Great story, I hope you consider another book going into the AI that moved into Jack and Janet’s little one. I also missed what happened to the ship the kids had found. Any way I just wanted to share my appreciation for your great work. Thanks

      Thanks Marty. I’m glad you enjoyed the Rho Agenda trilogy. I do plan a couple of novels to follow up on the Rho Agenda including one set 20 years in the future that focuses on Robby.
