Hey Boyd, I downloaded your books off your site today. I haven't had a chance to dig in yet but after reading Joe's blog I can't wait until I finish my current book. And being compared to Michael Crichton is a big compliment. I am a huge fan of Michael Crichton's work. Sad that he left us too soon. I will post some comments when I have read some of your work. Oh and thanks for the free books.

Boyd, I am in the middle of reading 'The Ark', and to say that I am enjoying it, is to put it mildly.
It's just as well that they are ebooks, and that I am reading them on the Kindle (name Pandora), because if I did not have the others with me, and I finished the first one, I would be very angry with myself. Thank you very much for making them available. Cheers |

Finally got around to reading all 3! I preferred The Ark and Palmyra Impact over Adamas Blueprint but even Blueprint was good. Great job and thanks for making them available!

If any of you have access to Amazon and feel that my novels are worthy of a good review, I'd love for you to post one. Like this forum, it's a great way for me to find new readers. Cheers, Boyd |

Boyd, as I've said before, I enjoyed reading The Ark very much.
However... I enjoyed The Palmyra Impact even more! Its a wonderful rollercoaster read - I just couldn't put it down. Its brilliant! I love your writing style. I can picture the characters and events happening and I can really get lost in your books. I'm so grateful that you're sharing them with us, thank you. Starting The Adamas Blueprint... |

They're all stand-alone books.
I just read them in the order that they're in Boyd's signature... no other reason |

As you mentioned, the books are all standalone thrillers. I wrote The Adamas Blueprint first, then The Palmyra Impact, then The Ark. |

Hi Boyd
I have read all three now and The Palmyra Impact was my favourite, real edge of the chair stuff I seriously couldn't put it down, I had to do a lot of stealth reading at work for that one LOL. I loved them all mind you! Can't wait for another book! Cheers from down under Dawn |

While I enjoyed all three, Boyd's writing improved a lot between Adamas Blueprint and his next 2 books. I would suggest reading Adamas first. It's a lot more impressive to see how much his writing skills progressed.

While I still love The Adamas Blueprint, I agree that my writing has matured since then. That's what nine years between books will do for you.

I'm finishing The Ark, it's a great reading......but I have to say that you made Tyler a little bit too perfect, I'm always saying to myself "This Tyler sounds just like me"

That is a great article. If kindle was in Canada I'd definitely hook you up with another review. As it is I will just say that I am enjoying The Ark and am looking forward to your other works.
