A Glimpse Inside The Richard Jackson Series, Book 16
What starts as a quiet visit to a research facility quickly becomes something far more dangerous, and far more world-changing.
In The Richard Jackson Series Book 16, discovery doesn’t arrive with fireworks and applause. It arrives behind closed doors, guarded by security checkpoints, whispered briefings, and scientists who are only beginning to understand what they’ve unleashed. When Richard Jackson steps into JE Research, the goal is simple: explore a breakthrough in gravity manipulation. What follows is anything but simple.
A single adjustment, reversing polarity, changes everything.
Suddenly, gravity itself is no longer a constant. Weight can be increased at will. Objects can become impossibly heavy. Rooms must be reinforced. Safety systems become the only thing standing between controlled experimentation and total annihilation. And then someone makes the mistake of introducing alternating current.
The result is violent, breathtaking, and terrifyingly instructive.
A showcase one of the defining traits of the series: progress always comes with consequences. Scientific brilliance walks hand-in-hand with catastrophic risk, and even genius minds can miscalculate. Amid explosions and near-disaster, the characters remain sharp, human, and often darkly humorous, especially Mary, whose Nobel-level intellect is matched only by her irreverence.
But the story doesn’t stop at the lab.
Once the dust settles, the implications of gravity control ripple outward. Colonies on the moon. Spacecraft without crushing acceleration. Platforms lifted gently into orbit. Trains, ships, aircraft, obsolete overnight. Warfare transformed. Infrastructure rewritten. Entire economies forced to adapt.
Richard Jackson isn’t just witnessing the future, he’s responsible for deciding who controls it.
That responsibility weighs heavily. Should this power be shared? Hidden? Moved off-world for safety? Is securing the supply of Evantonium an act of prudence… or the first step toward monopoly over physics itself?
Between high-level political maneuvering, family dynamics, quiet moments of reflection, and sudden bursts of danger, The Richard Jackson Series blends hard science fiction, alternate history, and character-driven drama into a world that feels both astonishing and plausible.
If you enjoy:
- World-altering technology treated with realism
- Intelligent characters who question the cost of progress
- Alternate history that feels uncomfortably close to our own
- Stories where power isn’t just discovered, it’s debated
…then this series is for you.
The future is being rewritten, the only question is who gets to decide how gravity falls.
