BOOKS BY DAN RIKER

Dan Riker is the author of two novels, A LIGHT NOT OF THIS WORLD, published in 2010, and SENECA POINT, A Brandon Webster Mystery , published in 2011.

In SENECA POINT, when former CIA agent and covert Pentagon operative Brandon Webster investigates the murder of his estranged brother, the famous and powerful Supervisor of the Western New York Town of Lakeside, he finds the identity of the killer is hidden in a web of town and family secrets, and a conspiracy of violence, kidnapping, fraud, and bribery inside a reclusive, and heavily armed religious group.

Brandon first operates as a traditional private detective, working with a canny state police investigator. They discover that every suspect is hiding something except for the one who doesn’t have an alibi. When they are unable to uncover hard evidence, Brandon draws on his past life in the shadow world, using deception and disguises, and his skills as an interrogator and a commando, to uncover the town’s secrets, destroy the conspiracy, and force the killer into the open.

This novel has just been published and already it has a positive reader review on Amazon:

"Seneca Point is a super, lively read. Starts fast and winds up faster. It does bog down around chapter three during the character shakedown phase despite deft writing. But it winds up with a bang. It's got a secret agent-type American hero who kills skillfully, small town bankers trying to keep Seneca prospering. Add two hot chicks, one good and one bad, and a fast ending. Don't forget the sinister foreign cult worming in for a take over and you've got a good book."

A LIGHT NOT OF THIS WORLD

”And just at that instant there rose as if from the bowels of the earth a light not of this world.”

- William L. Laurence, New York Times, August 26, 1945, Account of the Trinity Test on July 16, 1945

If, as recent events demonstrate, even amateur terrorists still are able to penetrate American security, what is to prevent a team of highly trained professionals from executing a far more sophisticated plan?

A LIGHT NOT OF THIS WORLD begins with a fugitive Pakistani nuclear scientist slipping into the U.S. and disappearing. A few months later an undercover FBI agent looking into an al-Qaeda link to a Baltimore import company is murdered. When Maryland Governor-elect David Randall, a retired Marine General and terrorism expert, connects the dots, he is swept into the firestorm that engulfs the nation and is called on to help lead America out of its worst nightmare of tragedy and terror.

Told through the heroic and self-sacrificing actions of some of the characters, and the evil actions of others, this fast-paced novel is set a few years in the future. It draws themes from contemporary events and debates over military doctrine, nuclear proliferation, American foreign policy and containment of terrorism. The events portrayed are both plausible and frighteningly feasible.

A LIGHT NOT OF THIS WORLD should appeal to readers of political and military thrillers, speculative fiction, and those who are concerned about nuclear proliferation, American policy in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the threat of terrorism. Unusual for a novel, it has a Note on Sources and Bibliography at the end.
