    The Richard O'Brien Series

    By Ian Rodney Lazarus and Ian R. Lazarus

    ()

    About this series

    Three Russian nuclear weapons go missing during the denuclearization treaty of 1991. Thirty years later, they turn up in one of the most volatile regions: the Gaza strip. Their path is guided by a Saudi professor determined to disrupt the balance of power in the Middle East. Richard O'Brien, an FBI linguist who finds cocaine and women much more intriguing than his low-level job, stumbles upon the plot. Unbeknownst to Richard is that he becomes a pawn in the Professor's plan. By deceiving Richard, the Professor deceives the FBI, and eventually the Israeli intelligence community. In a monumental blunder during a covert operation in Jordan, the FBI captures an Israeli agent they mistook for the Professor. As multiple intelligence agencies trip over each other, Richard's passion for the hunt is ignited, and rules be damned.

    In Con & Consequence, loyalties and relationships are not what they appear to be. Who is the Professor, what side is he on, and why do people around him keep getting murdered? Find out in this thriller that takes you from New York to Egypt, Israel, Kenya, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It's the first in the Richard O'Brien series.

      A U.S. Congressman, Instagram influencer, and university professor all go missing.  What do these seemingly random disappearances have in common?  Richard O'Brien, a newly minted FBI agent, is assigned to find out. Meanwhile a group of scientists and nation states are engaged in a high-stakes race to exploit new discoveries in genetic engineering, where the winner will have the ability to literally control the destiny of the human race.  Follow Richard O'Brien as he travels to Cambodia, Thailand, and Hong Kong, diving head first into the effort to prevent science from replacing evolution and life's natural order.   If you are naturally curious, if you love science and suspense, and if you want to see where the field of genomics is heading, you will love "Cease to Exist."   "Cease to Exist" follows Richard O'Brien's debut in "Con & Consequence," also by Ian R. Lazarus and available at most online book retailers.   Approximately 320 pages.
