Race Against Time ~ Science Fiction
Available in both paperback and Kindle (click on cover to purchase)

PictureClick on cover
In the Mojave Desert two vacationing detectives find a severely burnt man—blind and unable to speak—standing in the middle of a remote highway.  Within minutes he dies of his injuries.  When a short time later his corpse mysteriously vanishes, their only proof he ever existed is a small silver orb found on the pavement where his body had lain.
   At the center of this adventure is Detective Sergeant Bob Mackey, who by happenstance finds himself transported to the twenty-fourth century.  There he encounters a small group of scientists trying to save the Earth from a catastrophic plunge into the sun; an event spawned by a global nuclear war that began with a missile attack on Washington, D.C. in the late twentieth century.   
   When Mackey learns the initial attack was orchestrated by a group of global conspirators intent on establishing a new world order, he agrees to help the scientists prevent these madmen from launching the missile that will destroy the nation’s Capitol.  With less than two weeks to accomplish his mission, he returns to his own time with a warning not to seek help from anyone, because no one can be trusted.

   From its tense opening to its riveting conclusion, Race Against Time is a science fiction thriller that will hold the reader in its unyielding grip.

A Reader
Another winner by Mr. Price, although in a little different genre. It has Cops, Terrorists, Time Travel, a Love Story, and Intrigue all in one novel. And with a touch of humor yet. All in all another good read.

Outstanding Reading: I have read a lot of science fiction over the years, but none better than Race Against Time. First, the plot was especially plausible because it involved two present day detectives out of Los Angeles. That immediately interested me because like the author, I worked for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for 32 years. Secondly, the book was so well written it was difficult for me to stop reading it. I especially enjoyed the author's descriptions of the people and places which were so excellent I felt I could actually see them as I was reading. Lastly, the suspense was outstanding and I had no idea how it would end until the last page. I very highly recommend this book.

A READER
Great si-fi story. Keeps your attention throughout the entire book. Hope Price writes a sequel.​
