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.
