Seaman
Novelist · Founder · Media technologist
I write techno-thrillers and military science fiction, and I build real-time streaming for live sports.
First employee at AudioNet / Broadcast.com, acquired by Yahoo for $5.7 billion. CEO of SportsBug. Publisher at Milstar Books.
Seed of Fear
Some weapons are forged. This one is grown.
A DEA agent walks his team into a trap that should not exist. A geneticist finishes the work of her life without knowing what she has actually built. Between them lies a conspiracy that does not behave like crime. It behaves like statecraft, and it has decided they are both expendable.
Smart science, compelling characters, a great conspiracy, and an ending that left me thinking about the sequel.
Michael Gorton
An entirely plausible and alarming techno-thriller that trades cliche sci-fi storylines for terrifyingly realistic science.
Early reader review
The book grabbed me right away. The tension just keeps building until everything goes sideways.
Early reader review
Book one of The Quiet Harvest. Ghost Yield and Salted Ground follow.
Writing
Books
Two fiction series and two books about the industry I helped build. Everything below is available on Amazon in print and digital.
Biotech conspiracy thriller
The Quiet Harvest
A DEA agent and an agricultural geneticist are pulled toward the same conspiracy from opposite ends. Nobody had to blow anything up to start it. Somebody put something in grain. For readers of Daniel Silva and le Carre's The Constant Gardener, with Crichton-grade science.
Military science fiction
Accipiter War
The city of Fort Brazos and a nearby military base are scooped up whole and deposited inside an alien McKendree Cylinder four thousand miles long. Thousands dead. No explanation. Written with Blake Seaman, who also composed the series theme music. Books 1 through 4 are available now. Book 5 is in production.
Nonfiction
Streaming, from the inside
I was there when internet streaming started. Both of these were written from inside the room.
The imprint
Milstar Books
Nearly two hundred titles in print: U.S. military field manuals, technical manuals, and doctrine references reissued in quality editions, plus original nonfiction and a children's series.
