About the Author

Lawrence Miller is a long-time television and media producer, well versed in creating entertainment. He began by writing speeches for Fortune 500 CEOs and Sales Executives. Writing success led to forming his own corporate communications company providing a full range of creative services including: script writing, speech writing, film writing and production, multi-media writing and production, and live events.

His multi-disciplinary success led to more television writing and production contracts, including projects for CBS, Discovery and international broadcasts. A decade ago he decided to use his talent and experience to begin writing his own books.

As an international media consultant, he journeyed deep into the jungles of South America and across the Caribbean Sea, where pirates still roam. On seemingly idyllic tropical islands he found black magic and dark intentions living just below the surface of polite society which became the inspiration for his novels.

He is a native of Los Angeles, California, and now lives in New Mexico.

Writing began for me at age fourteen when I picked up a Jules Verne novel. I was hooked. Books transported me to new places, and gave me new experiences. I took creative writing classes in high school and college, and I knew that writing would be my life. I'm delighted that several of my books have been Amazon bestsellers.

My writing career began with executive speeches, film scripts, and live events. Success led to the formation of my own communications company providing a full range of creative services including script writing, speech writing, film and TV writing, multi-media production, and live event design and staging.

Multi-disciplinary success led to network television writing and production contracts with CBS Television and Discovery Channels, as well as other international broadcasters.

A five-year contract with the Organization of American States (OAS) broadened my scope as I worked with Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Premieres of fifteen different countries in the Caribbean. The OAS allowed me to journey deep into the jungles of South America and across the Caribbean Sea where pirates still roam, and where, on seemingly idyllic tropical islands, I found black magic and dark intentions living just below the surface of polite society.

It was all fertile soil for my imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miller Delivers with a mixture of Ancient Prophecy Mixed With Political Intrigue

"....I'm always on the lookout for new writers, especially those who can "deliver" right out of the gate!
Miller presents a storyline not unlike Ludlum or Trevanian...exotic landscapes, unusual and sometimes intense characters that develop as the narrative unfolds - people and places that you will certainly find engaging, especially when viewed alongside today's headlines of a global financial meltdown. When he adds a mystical theme and the enigmatic ingredients of ancient prophecy...all within the context of current events which seem to be uncanny...you get a hair-raising adventure laced with intrigue and political desperation...this is a page-turner worthy of a trilogy, and I hope Miller keeps delivering..."

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting adventure!

I am an avid reader and switch back and forth between fiction and non-fiction. I also love science, read Scientific American, have studied ecology and am constantly amazed at how science fiction/adventure writers (like Lawrence Miller) get it right. This book has it all. It combines adventure with the concept that there are "energy highways" (not far from the principles in subatomic physics that say we are all connected) and interesting characters. It's a fast paced roller coaster of intrigue and well written. A fun ride, on a par with Ludlum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read about Adam Decker's adventure into Abaddon's plot to end the world as they knew it.

The author continues the storyline of an evil minded person intent on controlling the world by destroying the financial systems of all countries. Adam Decker is given the mission to stop him with the assistance of some unexpected allies.

You will find the second book in the trilogy as interesting as the first with more scientific intrigue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reads like an insider to the world of terrorism wrote it!
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2014
Robert Ludlum hooked me years ago because he wrote like an "insider" who had walked the talk. Apparently he wasn't, but he made a believer out of me. Now along comes Lawrence Miller and he has done the same thing. He writes like an insider. He gets so many little things right as he paints this novel of intrigue. I recall reading once that the Central Intelligence Agency invited Tom Clancy to travel to Langley after "The Hunt for Red October" was published, in an effort to find out where Clancy was getting his information. Miller may be getting a similar phone call.

"Abaddon Rising" indeed reads like the first book in a trilogy, just like his beloved "Lord of the Rings" which it is clear Lawrence Miller has more than a nodding acquaintance with. My advice is to read this book, savoring the expectation that books two and three will follow. It is all really THAT good.

5.0 out of 5 stars entertaining fast-paced thriller
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2012
National News Cable Network reporter Nick Strong is about to expose on his show The Hard Truth that a mysterious person Abaddon is behind the recent officially declared accidental deaths of at least four global financiers. Nick opens up with his teaser of what is to come after the commercial. Instead he becomes the news when he dies during the two minute break.

Retired National Counterterrorism Center agent Adam Dekker investigates the Strong allegations. The clues take him from New York to Europe while operatives of Abaddon's shadowy cell try to kill Dekker whose former Army Ranger experience keeps him alive. As he begins to connect the dots, Dekker concludes that Abaddon's thirst for world domination was set in motion centuries ago and traverses a supernatural energy plane that the ex-soldier does not fully comprehend. Still Dekker remains steadfast as the countdown to pandemic catastrophe closes in with the Mayan prediction as the doomsday date. Finally Dekker tracks his foe to the Black Forest; knowing a horde awaits his arrival.

This is an entertaining fast-paced thriller that grips readers with the abrupt death of the TV journalist and never slows down as the audience anticipates the confrontation in Germany. The storyline is clever as the paranormal and the Mayan prophecy merge with the international financial and political meltdown. Over the top of The Feldberg, fans will relish this superb good and avarice action thriller.
