Reddit mentions: The best conspiracy thriller books

Ha! Thanks for creating a subreddit dedicated to my very own series, PF. That's gotta count as a life achievement, right? (Nevermind that the subreddit is empty.) Seriously, though, thanks for the kind words.

I'm a Dresden fan myself but brand new to this subreddit, so looking forward to discussions. (Although, BLASPHEMY, I have yet to read the last 2 books of that series. I'm scared to go too far here for fear of spoilers.) On the flip side, I have a Dresden cooperative card game kickstarter reward coming my way soon, so I can pretend I still belong.

Oh, I'll actually be in an anthology with Jim Butcher releasing later this year too, so that's cool.

About my Black Magic Outlaw series, if anyone's interested: Cisco's a shadow charmer fighting on the streets of Miami. I like to keep things dark and kick my protagonist when he's down. Each novel stands alone as far as having a satisfying story, but the opening story arc was conceived to span 5 books. 4 of those books are out now and the last will be available in about a month, so there's a lot of good story for readers to plow through.

Also, for the first time ever, Book 1 (DEAD MAN) is available for free! (on Amazon and other sites)

I'll keep an eye out for discussion on /r/BlackMagicOutlaw and respond if readers want to interact, but I'm just happy someone thought to create the sub. If anyone wants more info on me, the best first stop is DominoFinn.com. Cheers!

I publish under several different pseudonyms, but have zero money or time to do marketing or promotion.

A woman friend of mine inspired this sci fi/fantasy story due to her love of fairy tales and magic, and how she'd always wished there might be a plausible way for some such stuff to come true. I came up with one (I have a scientific/engineering background), and this is the result. I'm quite happy with how the story turned out. :-)

The Goddess of Trinifore College

I loved the LOST TV show. But not the supernatural aspects of it. I always wanted to do my own epic mystery/adventure story to compete with it. Spellbound: The Lost, the Hidden, and the Forgotten is that story, involving a mysterious deserted mansion bigger than the Pentagon, in a mountainous wilderness. The survivor of a small plane crash finds her way there, and the adventure begins. I'm very happy with it as well.

That's enormously kind of you :-) There are three of them, though I think The Parnell Affair is the best one. There is also The Pyrrhic Rendition, which reads a little like a movie but has a lot of action, and The Adventurers, which is fantasy and indifferently edited (my apologies, there are four spelling errors and a your-you're error: excuse me a moment while I unclench my jaw). If any of their descriptions interest you, then please have a read: it's quite humbling to think of someone I don't know reading a novel of mine. If you want to tell me what you think of it afterward, that be great too! I only check this reddit account about once a month, though. Thanks for reading!

Now I be from Norwich, guess that sound to you but it perfect English for me

http://www.amazon.com/Freedom-TM-Daemon-Book-2-ebook/dp/B002VUFKDY

as well as the original Daemon (http://www.amazon.com/Daemon-Daniel-Suarez-ebook/dp/B003QP4NPE/) Both are great reads.

The function of money itself is a variable.

What is money? I've heard it as "An agreement within a community to establish a system for the distribution of resources."

Everything about how it works: inflation, interest, scale, who issues it. . . is all arbitrary.

Markets, as they currently function, are set up to drive unsustainable recurring growth. . . and they've shaped global human behavior toward a kind of destructiveness, greed and unchecked ambition that is SINGLE HANDEDLY the source of, I will go so far as to say "most" of the human suffering in the world. But those that benefit from them the most are almost Pavlovianly conditioned to have a hard time seeing this. This is a big problem.

If YOU would like to open your eyes, here's some resources:

Barnard Lietaer was a world class economist (who was one of the architects of the Euro. . .which he warned was going to cause and run into a lot of the same problems as it has, but it had POLITICAL requirements that HAD to be met that had those problems baked in) who focused his work on helping communities reimagine the idea of what currency even is. When you realize it doesn't have to work the way it does, the whole way that markets even work starts to look. . . well downright evil and unnecessary. . . sorry Libertarians.

This book and it's sequel are interesting techno-thriller sci-fi. But the second book imagines a system by which a market economy could be managed by democratized opensource AI to produce MUCH better social outcomes. This kind of a system is MUCH more in reach than people reflexively think. It also takes a look at how one MIGHT use gamification to help people rethink their preconceived notions of how economies MUST work.

And also. . .this is dope!

If you enjoy this story, the first full length novel in its accompanying series launched today on Kindle Unlimited!

Daemon and it's sequel Freedom by Daniel Suarez would probably be a good recommendation if you like those two books you mentioned in the title.

So then we can have what's in the book Freedom: http://www.amazon.com/Freedom-TM-Daniel-Suarez-ebook/dp/B002VUFKDY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1417827999&sr=8-3&keywords=freedom

This sounds very similar to the plot on Daniel Suarez's book Kill Decision: Link
Which I HIGHLY recommend.

Along with his other books Daemon and Freedom.

They are AMAZING on audible...

incidentally, That's a REALLY GOOD BOOK.

The Maltings, my debut dystopian fiction novella:

In an idyllic town of endless summers and opulent lifestyles, Michal lives a faultless existence. He has no need to question the overbearing authority of his wife, the uniform houses in palatial estates or his mandatory bi-annual doctor appointments. But when a neighbour suddenly vanishes, he starts to become suspicious of this flawless life. Alongside Kittymara, a lively new presence in the stoic community, he begins to investigate what lies beneath the unvarying activities of life in the Maltings and discovers the chilling reason behind his perfect existence.

Is there an Amazon or Wikipedia link? I can only find a self help book.

Edit: found it: New Earth: Project O.N.E.

This one’s pretty much on point.

Have you read Freedom (TM)?

It's a sequel to Daemon, but paints a vision of the world close to yours.

It made me think of the sustainability of the global food industry, especially here in the USA. I recently re-read the book Freedom™ by Daniel Suarez, and it raised some interesting concepts about so-called thousand mile supply chains. Excellent read.

EDIT: You're right - she does look PISSED. Plus the German stack of food seems to be way more orderly than anyone else's.

Wha?

• Daemon
  
• Freedom
  
  That's how I read them both...

• Ready Player One
  
• All Systems Down
  
• Cryptonomicon
  
• Freedom (TM)
  
• Snow Crash
  
• The Forever War

Link to pre-order the Kindle version for 99 cents (It'll release on Dec. 5, and the price goes up a few days later).

The Final Reckoning by Sam Bourne?

Indents are not necessary and I've read a lot of novels with no indenting whatsoever. For example Harry Potter: No indents and good enough to sell millions.

http://www2.sdfi.edu.cn/netclass/jiaoan/englit/download/Harry%20Potter%20and%20the%20Sorcerer's%20Stone.pdf

In other writing every paragraph is indented, regardless of dialogue or not, including the first paragraph. For example see the 'look inside' of Tom Sawyer

https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Tom-Sawyer-Biographical-Introduction-ebook/dp/B000FC1C46/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1542811211&sr=8-4&keywords=where+the+red+fern+grows+kindle

Final example/final edit: Dresden files indents every paragraph except the first paragraph of each chapter. Again you can refer to the 'look inside'.

https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Black-Magic-Outlaw-Book-ebook/dp/B019ROIX8U/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1542811463&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=dresden+files&psc=1

Just pick a convention and be consistent.

i liked the idea of the haptic suit in Freedom. I use my phone for everything but having different tones for various events isn't the best way to be alerted. Imagine, your left butt check twitches, there's a thai restaurant near by with a 5 star rating, your right forearm throbs, your cousin has posted another asinine political facebook rant that you can safely ignore, middle of your back itches, there's an open wifi sport nearby...

Gunpowder Moon - Here is part of the blurb: "A realistic and chilling vision of life on the Moon, where dust kills as easily as the vacuum of space…but murder is even quicker—a fast-paced, cinematic science fiction thriller, this debut novel combines the inventiveness of The Martian, the intrigue of The Expanse, and the thrills of Red Rising."

I read it a month or so ago. I liked some parts of it a lot. It is a fairly quick read. It also challenges the reader to think about war in a new light.

The Sister Verse and the Talons of Ruin

John, an unstable detective living in an alternate future, is plagued by hallucinations of a malevolent, shapeshifting entity that haunted his childhood. While he struggles to maintain his grip on reality, he soon discovers that his world is a terrifying illusion designed to make him suffer.

The Sister Verse and the Talons of Ruin is the first book in a series of four that explores the realms of Lovecraftian horror, epic fantasy, and science fiction through an action-packed narrative of unrestrained psychedelic violence.

Price: 4.99, free on KU. The preview is long, so give it a whirl!
