Douglas E Richards is the author of The Prometheus Project series: fast-paced science fiction thrillers praised by kids, parents, educators, and science fiction enthusiasts alike. He has also written extensively for the award-winning magazine, National Geographic KIDS, with several of his articles appearing in a dozen languages in as many as sixteen countries.

While today's kids have plenty of fantasy to choose from, there is very little hard science fiction available for young readers. Douglas is trying to do his part to remedy this situation. While kids report being glued to the pages of his books (boys, girls, reluctant and advanced readers alike) , numerous adults have reported enjoying them almost as much as their kids. 

Recent News.... 

The series continues to receive praise from a variety of quarters: so much so that this site won't attempt to keep up. One recent example is a review in North Texas Kids Magazine entitled, " Keep Your Middle School Boy Reading this Summer with new Sci-Fi Series." Stranded also received a favorable review in the prestegious publication School Library Journal in August.  

In June, an article written by Douglas entitled, " The Secret to Happiness," was posted on BSCkids, a GoogleNews site with relationships with Disney, NBC, Fox, etc.

Douglas was recently a "special guest" at San Diego Comic-Con International along with such icons as Stan Lee, Ray Bradbury, and Rick Riordan. Click
