The God Particle
Reviews for The God Particle. Barnes & Noble: "A speculative masterwork...Comparable to "consciousness- expanding" novels like James L. Halperin's The First Immortal, Stephen Baxter's Evolution, and Kim Stanley Robinson's The Years of Rice and Salt, Cox's ambitious second novel fearlessly explores the gray area between science and religion with both tact and insight. The God Particle is a cerebral page-turner of the highest order; readers will find it practically impossible to put this book down before getting to the last page."
Kirkus Reviews: "Laden with eye-popping special effects, Cox's follow-up to his 2004 debut (Rift) turns on speculative high-energy physics and the Higgs boson...A gripper of a yarn, swatting around really big ideas."
Publishers Weekly: "A bizarre human experiment complicates a physicist's quest for the Nobel Prize in Cox's engaging, challenging second novel, a wryly comic thriller that incorporates several concepts from modern particle theory."
Booklist: "This is an imaginative mix of mystery and fantasy."

Rift
In
an age where reality and science fiction are colliding, Richard Cox's extraordinary
debut thriller takes its place as an all-too-believable novel of white-knuckle
adventure. For when an ordinary man makes one great leap for mankind, he triggers
a chain of events that endangers his life, fractures his certainty, and plunges
everyone he knows into a place where nothing is what it seems.
Cameron Fisher is bored. With his wife, Misty. With his job as an accountant at NeuroStor, the high-tech microchip firm. With everything about his life--until he is offered five million dollars to test a secret new technology that uses a wrinkle in quantum physics to transmit matter from one place to another. A company's high-stakes brainchild is ready for its first human test. And Cameron Fisher is all too happy to oblige.
