Summary
Oliver Scott's technology breakthroughs are revolutionary. But he's hiding a devastating truth...
Oliver Scott is the reclusive genius and trillionaire behind countless world-changing breakthroughs. How does he innovate at such a furious pace? While most hail him as a savior, what if he's actually the most dangerous tyrant humanity has ever seen? A man who will stop at nothing to gain absolute power.
Liam Dunne is an elite American operative enhanced with next-level technology, including a prototype supercomputer implanted in his brain. When an encrypted data file is transmitted into this implant, Liam is thrust into a battle for the very soul of humanity. Because the file holds the key to unlocking the mystery of Oliver Scott—and stopping a nightmarish future.
As Liam and the woman he loves race to unravel the truth, they become the targets of a lethal manhunt initiated by the ruthless trillionaire. If they can survive long enough to access the enigmatic file, they can lift humanity to unimaginable heights.
They're facing impossible odds. And time is running out...
The Breakthrough Effect is a propulsive, action-packed thriller with big ideas, mind-blowing technologies, and twists and turns you won't see coming.

Good tech and ethics debate and decent plot twists
Relatively solid Richards' novel with the usual stuff, but too much ado about god and souls. Seems to be a trend in his works now.

My God! The totally mind-blowing conclusion!
I’m not often one for writing reviews, but had to make an exception for this book. Almost the whole novel is Douglas doing his usual fantastic job of writing a gripping techno-thriller, which (having listened to every book available by him on Audible) I am almost always blown away by. The main body was already awesome enough and worth the listen, then he suddenly pulls a tour-de-force of a twist near the end that I found frankly revelationary (spelling intended). It is difficult to comment further without spoiling anything for the aspiring listener, and, as the characters in the novel admit, it will require more thought to fully grasp all the nuances, but all I can say is that Douglas has given this agnostic disillusioned tech geek much to think about (in a good way!). I would (and do!) recommend most of Douglas’ books to anyone who loves technology, science, and action, but I personally feel he’s done something next-level here (and based on the lack of discussion of it in the ‘Authors Notes’ section, I’m not even sure he realised it!).
