First, I got the original idea for the series while my wife Carol and I were vacationing in Maui. I wanted to write a story that centered around a couple of badass special operatives who get sucked into an earth threatening intergalactic conflict because of the curiosity of three high school friends. I also wanted this story to be about the loss of innocence when young idealism meets the savage world in which they live. Second, I get my idea for each novel in the series by throwing out possible answers to the question... "What else can go wrong?"

Quotes by Richard Phillips (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There are two kinds of people in this world: sheep and wolves. The politicians who lie hidden in holes aren’t wolves. They’re sheep, sending their wolves out to make things happen. Janet and I are wolves. It’s what we’ve trained you to be.”
Richard Phillips, Wormhole

“was a crime that this great country lost the will that had driven it to greatness. The fungus of apathy had crept in, an insidious infestation cloaked in self-satisfaction, a sense that things were good enough, that the country could rest on its laurels. Robbed of a unifying sense of purpose, it gradually surrendered its precious sovereignty to the nattering nabobs at the United Nations.”
Richard Phillips, Once Dead

“mollify”
Richard Phillips, The Second Ship
