Welcome to the official website of Rick Pittman, author of the New Earth trilogy books and a native Texan storyteller. Writing science fiction with a government conspiracy slant is nothing new, but R.D. Pittman takes a refreshing new approach in telling a story about a man, a nation, and a way of life that comes under direct threat from an unlikely source. The 'unlikely source' is revealed in a stunning twist at the end of of the first book, New Earth: Project O.N.E. Pittman takes the reader on a thrill ride as his protagonist Alex Hanken steps forward during his nation's time of need, while a sinister behind the scenes plan comes together. The second book, New Earth: The Search for Justice, joins Alex as he seeks out those responsible for tarnishing his country's great heritage. Exciting episodes unfold across the globe from Italy to France, Germany to South America and several points in between, as teams of experts from the FBI, U.S. Navy Seals, and a pair of friendly Russian agents pursue the perpetrators to bring them to justice. Unknown to Alex and the world, as everyone's attention is elsewhere, an event has taken place that could spell the end of mankind. New Earth: The Sedna/Kern Incident puts the reader ringside as the world prepares for a cataclysmic event. Alex Hanken is once again thrust to the forefront to prepare the nation's post event survival plan. Pittman chooses a unique path in telling the final episodes of the story, he puts the reader in the lives of people from around the world as they come to grips with the terror, the dread, and the desperation they are all facing as the final days come and go...the reader is there experiencing  all of the intensity as time runs out.
