Book Cover & Preview Text
Imagine an other-worldly weapon unintentionally developed at a giant particle accelerator in Switzerland by scientists determined to find the holy grail of life's tiniest particles. Imagine they never intended to create a force that could destroy the entire planet. Imagine they've also created a machine that turns you into pure energy while transporting you across the universe faster than the speed of light where you discover that time is indeed, an illusion. Imagine a dictator seizing power in China and immediately invading Taiwan, provoking an eyeball-to-eyeball naval and nuclear confrontation with America and its newly elected woman president. Imagine a scientist, who is disillusioned with America, agreeing to sell this planet-killing weapon to China's new bloodthirsty leader so as to create a new world order. Imagine a smart American spy, and trained killer, being taught by a Taiwanese scientist to pose as a theoretical physicist so he can penetrate and spoil this sinister plot. Imagine he finds true love along the way to trying to save the world. Imagine nature itself intervenes to provide a surprising, climactic and decisive twist. If you can imagine all this then you are ready to enter the world of "Release The Butterfly", the debut novel of veteran New York City TV journalist Richard Rose. Rose, in his many travels, has first-hand knowledge of the military and scientific marvels that he so vividly describes. Join Rose as he takes you on a fascinating and thrilling journey channeling the best of H.G. Wells and Tom Clancy in a style of futuristic writing Rose has dubbed "Science Faction." It is time to "Release The Butterfly."

About the Book
Release The Butterfly is a fast-paced, geo-political, science-based, military thriller drawn from real life in a piece of literary work author Richard Rose has dubbed 'Science Faction.' In his debut novel, the veteran journalist channels H.G Wells and Tom Clancy to tell the story that appears ripped from the headlines. America has just elected its first woman president, independent candidate Lydia Cortez-Simpson. The daughter of a conservative Texas cattleman and his 'illegal' mexican domestic, Cortez-Simpson's vicious political campaign toughens her for the fight of her life against an out-of-control military dictator who has seized control of China and launched a pre-emptive invasion of Taiwan. 'General X' is a misguided, philosophically minded 'patriot' determined to restore China's past glory. Ruthless to the core, General X 'demonstrates' China's nuclear prowess in horrifying fashion and President Cortez-Simpson quickly finds herself in an eyeball-to-eyeball nuclear confrontation. Worse yet, General X has schemed with the disillusioned chief scientist of the Geneva Institute to obtain a fearsome new weapon borne from the world's most powerful particle collider. President Cortez-Simpson turns to Parker James, a spy who can beat you with both his fists and his brains. In a race against time, James teams up with brilliant Taiwanese-American scientist, Doctor Lillian Tong, to thwart Doctor Z's plans to place this planet-killing weapon in General X's hands. In the end, nature itself provides a surprising, decisive twist as the reader is taken on a journey into cutting-edge science and military hardware. Dark matter energy is discovered even as time itself is 'unraveled' in a world where DNA satellite trackers can find terrorists anywhere in the world by just their DNA, essentially ending the war on terror but only beginning the possibilities for humankind to discover new ways to destroy life as we know it.
