Some of you have been asking what book(s) to start with, here's a post to cover 4 primary answers depending on what you like -- there are lots more than just these, and all but one of these are multi-book series. If you're into traditional thrillers, then Perimeter and Multiverse are likely good book 1 choices, though if you ask me, I'd suggest starting with Perimeter because they're related series. Darwin's Cipher is a medical thriller and Primordial Threat is a heavy on the science and mildly futuristic Science Fiction Thriller. Below are the basic descriptions: 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫: (geni.us/Gn1TlOA) Levi Yoder is a man who solves problems—Mafia problems. But when he’s diagnosed with terminal cancer, there’s nothing left to fix. He prepares to die… until the impossible happens—he learns that he's in complete remission. Before he can make sense of his second chance, Levi is thrust into a deadly game of international espionage. The CIA claims the Russian mob is gunning for him, but the truth is even more dangerous—someone wants him dead because of something his late wife did. As Levi navigates a web of deceit, organized crime, and shadowy intelligence forces, he faces an enemy he might not be able to outmaneuver. Can he uncover the truth before he and his family become collateral damage? 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞: (geni.us/3zby0R) 𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄 – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞 What if your greatest scientific breakthrough became humanity’s biggest threat? Michael Salomon, a brilliant particle physicist, has just unlocked the secrets of tachyons—faster-than-light particles that could rewrite the laws of reality. But before he can even share his discovery, his research is seized by the government, and a stranger—one who knows his future—warns him that his work has already shattered time itself. A waking nightmare grips him: visions of a child he hasn’t lost—yet. A government that now hunts him. A student who remembers things they haven’t done—yet. Michael’s experiment didn’t just open a door; it shattered the walls between past, present, and future. Now, he must race against time—before the version of himself that already went too far dooms them all. From a 𝐔𝐒𝐀 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 best-selling author, 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦 is a high-stakes sci-fi thriller that bends time, twists reality, and asks the ultimate question: 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞? 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐧'𝐬 𝐂𝐢𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫: (geni.us/94LpxLR) A revolutionary discovery. A lethal new threat. A race against time to save humanity. In Darwin’s Cipher, brilliant cancer researcher Juan Gutierrez uncovers a hidden genetic algorithm that can predict the path of a species’ evolution over millennia. His breakthrough offers a tantalizing hope for overcoming human vulnerability to disease—but shadowy forces have their own sinister plans for this genetic super-tool. When an FBI analyst investigating bizarre, unsolved cases is called out to a ranch with a single surviving calf surrounded by dead cattle, the DNA evidence points to something far beyond the ordinary. Meanwhile, a newborn child with an impossible genome sets off alarms at the NIH—and the race to contain a nightmarish outbreak begins. From hidden labs to high-security bio-containment units, Darwin’s Cipher hurtles you into a nerve-shredding chase where science, conspiracy, and evolution collide—with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about our genetic destiny. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭: (geni.us/ye6Y) The year is 2066, and the world is oblivious to the threat it faces. The fate of humanity lies on the shoulders of Burt Radcliffe, the new head of NASA's Near Earth Object program.

𝐓𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐑 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖. 𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒𝐍'𝐓. There is a particular kind of dishonesty that takes years to develop. It does not look like lying in the moment. It looks like a man who has slowly traded in the things he used to believe for the things his current audience wants him to believe — and then claims, when challenged, that he never believed the old things in the first place. This is Tucker Carlson in 2026. What follows is not a hit piece by his enemies. It is not edited out of context. It is Tucker Carlson, on five questions, holding the opposite position today from the one he confidently held in years past — and in several cases denying that he ever held the prior position at all. Watch the drift. 𝐎𝐧 𝐔.𝐒. 𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥 For most of his Fox News career, Tucker Carlson was, on tape, an unambiguous defender of U.S. support for Israel as a strategic and moral imperative. Tucker today: "𝘜.𝘚. 𝘢𝘪𝘥, 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮. 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘣𝘺 𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧." Tucker, on himself, in a separate moment of unintended candor: "𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘜.𝘚. 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨." Pick a position, Tucker. A country that doesn't really need our help cannot also be a country that would collapse in a week without it. Both sentences are yours. Only one can be true. 𝐎𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧 "𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲" 𝐢𝐬 When the interviewer reminds Tucker that Israel is a U.S. ally, Tucker responds — and read this carefully: "𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯." "𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺." This is a man who used the word 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 confidently for 25 years on television to describe Britain, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and yes, Israel. He defined alliances. He weighed alliances. He criticized alliances. He understood what the word meant when it served his point. Notice what happens when his current audience wants to hear that 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭 isn't really an ally: "𝘘𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘘𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘳. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴." He absolutely knows what an "ally" is. He defines alliances confidently — when the alliance he is defining is with the country that hosts H-m-s political leadership in five-star Doha hotels. He suddenly forgets the meaning of "ally" only when the country in question is the only stable democracy in the Middle East. This is not confusion. This is performance. 𝐎𝐧 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥'𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 Tucker, on Israeli soil, on camera, talking to Mike Huckabee: "𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭. 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯. 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴." Tucker, later, back home, on his own podcast, talking to his own audience: "𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘶𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥. 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝟣𝟫𝟦𝟪. 𝘚𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺. 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦." A man with two faces. One for the interview with the American ambassador to Israel. One for the audience that pays him for content. The same man cannot praise the agriculture of a country and then describe that country's totality of post-1948 construction as 𝐮𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 — unless he believes whatever the room he is in wants him to believe. 𝐎𝐧 𝐇-𝐦-𝐬 Tucker, on a recent broadcast, said this on the record: "𝘏-𝘮-𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘧 𝘫𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦, 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘐𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯." It provoked enough backlash that another interviewer raised it the following week. Interviewer: "𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘏-𝘮-𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱." Tucker: "𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵. 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺. 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺. 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵." 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭𝐬 in a row. He absolutely said it. The video is up. The transcript is up. The audio is up. Tucker said the words and then, days later, denied saying the words on tape that exists and circulates publicly. This is not the dishonesty of a man caught off-guard. This is the dishonesty of a man who knows the lie will outrun the correction. 𝐎𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 Tucker today, on Zionism: "𝘈𝘯 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘯 𝘞𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘤𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴. 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮.

Translation: any group claiming a homeland based on shared identity is in opposition to Western civilization. Zionism — the Jewish people's right to a homeland — is morally equivalent to DEI bureaucracy. The interviewer pushes back: "𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦, 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦?" Tucker, this time: "𝘞𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘞𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴. 𝘞𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭. 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦.

Sentence three: every group has a right to self-determination. Both cannot be true. Either Westerners are individualists with no legitimate group claim — in which case the entire framing he is offering collapses — or Westerners do have a legitimate group claim to self-determination, in which case Zionism is no different in kind from any other national-identity movement on Earth, and Tucker's framing of Zionism as an "attack on Western civilization" collapses. He cannot have it both ways. He has it both ways anyway. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 Five questions. Five contradictions. Each one not a real-time slip, but a 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐭 over time — positions Tucker once held confidently, on the record, that have now been quietly traded in for the opposite, while he claims, when challenged, that he never held the prior view at all. This is what happens when a commentator stops working from principles and starts working from what his audience that day wants to hear. He becomes incoherent. He must, because his positions are no longer arrived at by reasoning. They are arrived at by reading the room. His current audience wants to hear that Israel is over-funded by the U.S., so he says it. They want to hear Israel isn't really an ally, so he claims he doesn't even know what an ally is — a word he used confidently for two and a half decades on Fox. They want to hear that H-m-s might just be a misunderstood political organization, so he says so, and when the wider conservative world reacts with horror, he denies he said it. The tape is real. He doesn't care. The tape will not reach his current audience. A man with no fixed compass beneath the words. A man whose moral architecture has been replaced by 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲.

Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Mississippi can collectively add 𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞. That is the difference between a five-seat GOP majority and a thirty-seat working majority through 2028. Democrats spent fifty years drawing absurd jigsaw districts in the South to lock in safe seats by racial sorting. The Supreme Court just took that tool away.

He took New York’s murder rate from 2,245 in 1990 to 642 by 2001 — a 71% drop that no other major city has matched. He coordinated the response to the worst attack on American soil.
