The Alpha Enigma: Alpha Enigma, Book 1 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

See all formats and editions

A thrilling new science fiction mystery from the New York Times best-selling author of the Donovan novels

Dr. Timothy Ryan, head of the military psychiatric unit at Grantham Barracks, is meeting a new patient, a woman known as Prisoner Alpha. As she is being transferred, they are attacked by assassins, barely escaping with their lives. One shooter vanishes, leaving behind a dead companion unlike anyone Ryan has ever seen.

But even more baffling is the puzzle of Alpha herself. She speaks in a strange tongue, and doodles in bars, dots, and little pictures like nothing Ryan has ever seen. Is she some sort of savant, or the most cunning spy he's ever met?

Meanwhile, in Egypt, archaeologist Reid Farmer uncovers an 18th Dynasty tomb that shouldn't exist, filled with Mayan epigraphy, mathematics, and materials that didn't exist 3,000 years ago. As a result of this discovery, Reid and forensic anthropologist Kilgore France - along with the sarcophagus they have found - are snatched away to a hidden lab to solve the enigma of a man lost in time.

As dark forces gather, Alpha makes an impossible escape from Grantham. Ryan quickly becomes the prime suspect in her disappearance, but with a team of unique allies, sets out to prove his innocence. Together, they must find Alpha and save Ryan before it is too late.

The Alpha Enigma
by W. Michael Gear

This book came into the world as a controversy. I am sorry to say Michael Gear was unfairly censored by a politically reactive criticism. First and foremost, I think the nit picking in this book is ridiculous. Michael Gear is an amazing author who uses the divine art of storytelling to draw in the reader. His character descriptions have a reason, and every character like every human has a history. If in fact that history is not always easy, or politically correct there is a reason to every decision the reader needs to suspend belief and they will find that his reasoning is impeccable.
Alpha Enigma is a scientific thriller, reminiscent of Michael Gear’s prior books like Dark Inheritance and Raising Abel… A science fiction nature of the story is based in scientific theory. The ideas of particle entanglement, canonical quantum gravity, Bose-Einstein condensate, and general relativity all have basis in true science. These theories are exceptionally elaborate and expansive allowing Michael Gear to have a mythical reason for the events in this story. He twists and twines not only these scientific principles but psychology, Greek history, Egyptian history, Mayan mathematics, and biology. His story is amazing. I fell in love with all the characters even with their apparent flaws and foibles. Chief Raven, perhaps the strongest character, shows not only humanism, but also feminine divinity. Her PTSD and kleptomania not only define her and as a psychiatric patient but is the key mystery of her character. She is the most capable Seal I have ever read about, the first female Seal, the feminist should be elated. Falcon, may be the most dynamic character, his psychological diagnosis makes him the most fragile, yet his brilliance is apparent. Skipper is a remarkable psychologist, psychiatrist. I love how he is able to see his patients as people, he is amazing willing to sacrifice everything for his patients. I have only started with these three remarkable characters because I hope to read more and see more of them in particular.
This story is only the beginning, I know the controversy has made Michael pause on the next book. Yet I hope in time that his fans love, and our support give him the strength to continue the story, and damn the criticism.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cockamamie story that is a Must Read
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2020
Verified Purchase
Only Michael Gear could come up with a cockamamie tale involving Mayan mathematics and mythology, ancient Egyptian mythology and archaeology, the United States government intelligence community, including military assets, criminally insane military patients, quantum physics and gravity, and Ensnared Particle Theory and make it all work in a most entertaining way.
Michael's research into and knowledge of the subject matter, whether it be ancient Egyptian culture, or Ensnared Particle Theory involving time travel are impeccable. He tells the impossible facets to this story with such grace that they seem like everyday occurrences. His use of anthropology and archaeology are so well described, even novice laymen get the gist of the events as they unfold.
As in all Gear works, the setting description puts the reader in the scene, be it on the banks of the Nile or in the Rocky Mountains, and all points in between. His characters are so endearing, they become like family members, even the cantankerous thief, Chief Petty Officer Raven, or the fragile genius, Captain James Falcon. All the characters are so well described, the reader feels he knows them personally, including the mysterious time traveler, Alpha.
My best suggestion is to take up this book and read it cover to cover (you will find it difficult to put down). After reading it, get the audible version and listen to it. Your time will be well spent.

Just finished The Alpha Enigma. What an exciting book that was. I do not usually read stories of that genre, so I guess I can thank the censor for tripping my curiosity 😃
Once again, the characters are quite real and it is evident Michael has done a lot of research into all the subject matter. Everything flowed very well and even the physics concepts were sound- theoretical though they may be. The book easily played out like a movie in my head and it was a very enjoyable experience. Well done.

Pre-ordered and anxiously waited for Michael's new thriller. Wow. A great story, solid characters and great setup for book 2. Fast moving and I did not want to put it down. I don't understand why Random House censors were upset with some of the characters descriptions or statements made by the characters. I think its great. Best thriller by Michael to date.

3.0 out of 5 stars Three Stars for Misogyny
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2022
Verified Purchase
I've read WMG's collaborative works w/Kathleen O'Neill Gear and really enjoyed them.

I was pretty shocked at how many of the male characters in this book were written as complete sexists. It got tedious, and kind of gross, after the first few chapters. Every woman was described with pin-up statistics, and every man looked at them as objects.

The storyline was engaging, if outlandish. The characters were interesting. If you're into something time-travel but don't want to deal with outdated sexist thinking, try Neal Stephenson's 'The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.' instead.

As usual Michael Gear knocked this one out of the park! Well thought out characters, great story lines that mixes fact and fiction in a way that leaves you wanting more!

I love the way Mr. Gear has been able to integrate so many different aspects of todays daily life into a story while still keeping it factual yet whimsical, The majority of the main characters suffer from various forms of mental illness, yet they still find ways to come together as a team.

This is an awesome read!

I disliked that there were too many characters, long descriptions of things/events which did not add to the plot, too slow moving, and not interesting.
