about me

I'm an unrepentant science geek, although I did try, unsuccessfully, to have a geekectomy. I've studied both science and art and have a doctorate in microbiology. Professionally, I have eight patents and numerous professional publications on subjects guaranteed to cure insomnia in a non-scientist. I'm also a world traveler, constantly searching for the best cup of coffee to accompany my voracious reading habit. My wife Sandy and I live in Lincoln, Nebraska, where I am Vice President of Translational Research for a biotechnology company. Just a note on that day job thing. It means I have to travel quite a bit, and sometimes I'm out of touch for a week or two at a time. If you ask me to read your stuff, please understand that I will do it, however, I may not see your email for a bit. I'm not ignoring you. Thanks for your patience.

Rise of the Fallen

D. Michael Olive

Liam Michaels, the immortal Angel of Death, unravels a plot by fallen angels to unleash a bioengineered smallpox virus on the United States


A secret Russian investment company infiltrates the United States funding advanced military technologies. Once the science is mature, the funded company is destroyed and the know-how stolen. In order to distract the U.S. from Russia’s global plans, they import cocaine contaminated with a vaccine-resistant smallpox virus, which they plan to release onto Amerca’s city streets. The organization, made up of fallen angels, attempts an assassination of Dr. Dani Suskind, the CEO of a biotech company critical to their plans. Unfortunately for the Russians, she's an angelic assassin allied with Liam Michaels, the immortal angel of death. Liam and Dani follow a twisted trail of death, racing across the U.S., Africa, and Europe. Their objective: stop the rise of the Fallen.

Nick, This is excellent. The characters are alive and you move effortlessly from scene to scene in a way that the reader never loses track of the story. I started to feel hot and thirsty as I read. Al-Shaitan (Arabic for the devil) comes across as a classic bad guy. Thanks goodness I can read this ... view book

Hi Alan, Your story has the ring of an epic poem. Hron is an interesting character; chief warrior yet very human, afraid to die. Some of his musings seem to slow the story and I have to agree with Tim Greaton (comment below). Although I can't put my finger on it, the style seems a bit difficult to ... view book

The opening scene as Max rides to and enters the prison was captivating. Very bleak and gives the reader a feel for the depair I imagine one would feel in the same situation. However, the dialogue is pedestrian. Too much unecessary wordage that really doesn't propell the story forward. As a result,... view book

I felt like a child as I read this. Very imaginative. I love Seamus' character as well as all the other strange critters you've placed in the story. The atmosphere is excellent. I could almost smell the garbage dump. Great dialogue. Couple of suggestions. You might want to check your sentence struc... view book
