The 13th Power
by
Terry Wright
Peter Higgs, Scottish nuclear physicist whose Higgs boson is the basis for The 13th Power:
"Thank you for the book by Terry Wright. What he's done with my boson is definitely science fiction."
Claudine Lackey, Retired teacher:
"Generally, I do not like science fiction, but I found The 13th Power held my attention. I truly enjoyed reading the book and plan to read more of your material."
John Sheridan, published author, MAMBA:
Don't plan on going anywhere for a few days. Terry Wright's "The 13th Power" is a page-turner, and will keep you welded to your seats. From the Malaysian jungle to Simi Valley, Terry gives you the hair-raising suspense at what can happen when an experiment goes wrong.
Bill McDonald, Retired sales representative:
"I just finished The 13th Power -- excellent!!! I very much enjoyed it."
Brian Sompayrac, corporate executive:
"I really enjoyed The 13th Power. It was very entertaining, and I like how it grabbed my attention right from the get go. Congratulations on writing a great book, and I look forward to reading the next one."
Karen Duvall, published author, Project Resurrection:
"The 13th Power is a cinematic romp through a high-stakes adventure that unfolds at a breathless pace. An extraordinary tale."
Steven Lloyd, published author, Dark Desire:
"I thought your book would never get to Barnes & Noble. The 13th Power was well worth the wait. It thundered from page one to the end. Fantastic!! Thanks for the ride!!"
Leslee Breene, published author, Foxfire:
"I thought your book was powerful, a fast-paced ride to a socko ending. Taking off into space without liftoff...and all of the Higgs dynamics left to explore in the sequel. I was so relieved to see Lisa survived her torturous captor. Whew!"
Michele Parsons, published author, Tangled Web of Desires:
The 13th power is an action packed adventure. I was unable to put it down. Terry Wright has done an incredible job of mixing elements of adventure, disaster, scientific experimentation, military retaliation and love in this novel. There is something for everyone.
The characters escape one disaster after another once they decide to proceed with their experiments of discovery for the 13th power. A father must struggle with the danger he has placed his estranged daughter in, while watching her fall in love with his colleague. What started as a quest of knowledge for two scientist has turned into a power struggle of two scientific laboratories. They battle, sparing no lives, in their quest to own the knowledge. Could this be the beginning of the end of the world as we know it?
James Halon, author of The Malagasy Tortoise:
The Russian's fear "The 13th Power" and rightfully so. But there is unlimited wealth and and a tremendous power to be had through its ultimate control. The evils enter... Governmental lies? Spies? Private eyes? FBI and CIA cover-ups? The Ark? A hero? A nightmare? The pawns are moved and people begin to die. The military is activated to halt the evil. But wait? Just who "is" the evil? This is not a black and white answer. Mixed motives abound to reach the 13th power. Greed, ego, love, and base insanities flourish through the pages of "The 13th Power." Car chases, helicopters firing missiles into squad cars, corrupt police, spy satellites, ugly bad guys, beautiful women... Torture. Terry Wright gives all of this and a lot, lot more -- he gives us -- believability! The last eighty pages of this book has some of the finest climax writing that I have ever read. I love Wright's subtle set up for a sequel. "The 13th Power" is brilliant, masterful, and most of all -- entertaining."
Clay Brown, author of Lineman:
I finished this book without putting it down, at least in my mind. It moves quickly from situation to situation and between characters as is pulls you along. I couldn't get off the high-speed conveyor that brings sci-fi to a believable status. It may happen! My only difficulty is that I wanted to continue immediately to episode two.
