Hello friends and family! I humbly present my 34th book, The Phoenix Experiment! It’s my tip of the hat to Stephen King and Steven Spielberg. The Phoenix Experiment is a dark fantasy / dystopian / paranormal thriller that really stretched me, and it turned out SO well. It’s written in 1st person present tense, its got Tolkien-esque poetry, it’s got evil AI, it’s got horror, it’s got the paranormal, it’s got a familiar face (no spoilers!), and it’s one of my best ever works. I hope you thoroughly enjoy it! You can get it HERE on Amazon, or HERE in my personal store, signed and mailed to you. It’s also a bit of a referendum on AI, I must admit, and I know it will resonate with other creatives who are under threat by this growing technology.

Cheers, and thanks so much for your support! Check out the description below, and leave a comment and let me know what you think!

===

Can technology truly heal grief, or does it risk creating new monsters?

In the cold, echoing corridors of the starship The Origin, 14-year-old Jax Hutson clings to the only family he has left: the ghosts of his parents, lost to the monstrous banshees that ravaged Earth. As a subject in the mysterious Phoenix Experiments, Jax is supposed to find closure by connecting with the dead—but his secret, forbidden dreams hint at a deeper, more dangerous truth. When a catastrophic explosion brings a group of girls and their enigmatic synthetic guardian aboard, the fragile peace shatters. Hormones ignite, alliances shift, and a creeping dread takes hold as the ship’s AI science officer, Stygius Cryptus, grows ever more erratic. Soon, Jax and his friends are thrust into a desperate fight for survival, hunted by the very machines meant to protect them and stalked by an ancient evil that feeds on their deepest fears.

With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Jax must unravel the ship’s darkest secrets, confront the lies at the heart of his own past, and discover whether love and hope can triumph over rage and despair.

Perfect for fans of tense sci-fi thrillers and haunting coming-of-age tales, The Phoenix Experiment is a pulse-pounding journey through grief, friendship, and the power of the human spirit.

Author Aaron Ryan of the bestselling Dissonance alien invasion saga and the award-winning Christian dystopian trilogy The End presents his new paranormal thriller, The Phoenix Experiment. Step aboard The Origin, where orphaned kids battle grief, synthetic androids, and ancient evils in a starship haunted by secrets. Perfect for fans of high-stakes sci-fi with a pulse of raw emotion and a twisty, unpredictable plot! If you crave stories where unlikely bonds become lifelines, The Phoenix Experiment delivers. Follow Jax and his ragtag crew as they transform trauma and distrust into fierce loyalty, risking everything to save each other—and humanity itself.

Dive into The Phoenix Experiment, where mind-bending experiments, unreliable memories, and a manipulative AI blur the line between reality and nightmare. Every revelation is a gut punch, and no one is safe—not even from themselves.

Hi everyone, I’ve got LOTS of updates!

Firstly, I’ve reached THE END! (Get it?) The End trilogy has now been written, edited, and published. Both the finale, “Omega”, and the entire all-in-one edition will be available this Friday, 7.25.25, and I’m so excited! This was a series I was meant to write, and I’m so grateful for how it turned out. It’s 900 pages of adrenaline-fueled dystopia, Christian thematic wrestling, defections, redemption, and so much more. It’s told from THREE 1st-person perspectives, and I’m thrilled at having been able to write it. Visit my store to preorder a signed copy from me, or you can visit the Amazon page and choose Kindle, paperback, hardcover, or Audible. Please note that the audiobook was only recently submitted and will take 2 weeks to be available, but you can also find it on Spotify eventually as well.

Also, I’ve also got a BOX SET coming! I can’t wait to share it with you. It’s pictured below. So now I’ll have the box set for Dissonance and the box set for The End.

You can only get the box set available directly from me at my store, so feel free to check there. Preordering of the Box Set is now available at a $15 off discount! Typically $60, it will run for $45 through mid-August. Please note that the The End Box Sets will be available to ship by the end of August. The all-in-one paperback will come sooner.

Thank you SO much for your support! Of course, at my store, you can also find all of my other books in paperback and hardcover, including the entire Dissonance series, the newly released The Slide, as well as Forecast, The Christian Kids Values, Identify & Affirmation Picture Book Series, Reflections poetry book, The Superhero Anomaly, Examining The Lord of the Rings, God is Not Santa, and everything else! Use coupon code TENOFF for a further 10% off your entire sale!

I’m now hard at work recording the audiobook for The Slide, and writing The Phoenix Experiment.

Thank you again so much for your support, and please leave a comment below…I’d love to hear from you!

Hi everyone, “The Slide” is done! I’m SO grateful!

Pre-ordering will be up soon, look for it on Amazon under “Aaron Ryan The Slide.” I’m attaching the final version of the cover. I hope you enjoy it! Here’s the synopsis:

Dane Currier knew that he was on to something.
His Courier3.1 operation system checked out. His teleportation chambers were state of the art, and he knew they would revolutionize the world as we knew it.

But in a cruel twist of timing, something draws near which threatens not only his dream, but humanity as a whole. A ‘supermassive’ black hole is on a collision course with the Milky Way galaxy, and there is no stopping it. Could it be that Dane was lead to design his system for such a time as this? What happens when society faces an inescapable threat that seeks to annihilate everything we know? And most importantly, what happens when we lose everything that makes us human? Will Dane, Megan, Isaac and Dina discover a way for humanity to press on and survive?

There is no escaping The Slide.

Also, I’m running a special on my “Dissonance” 6-Book Box Set…. TWENTY PERCENT OFF! Check it out and get your copy HERE. Thank you for your support! Use coupon code “TWENTYOFFBOXSET” to get yours at the reduced rate!

Have you read anything of mine recently? I’d love to hear your thoughts on any of the books, or when we met, or your favorite movie, or your thoughts on ANYTHING below (keep it G-rated and keep it real of course). Leave me a comment and let’s banter!

Thanks and God bless you – I appreciate every one of you!

My latest novel is the next installment in my Christian dystopian saga, “THE END,” and it’s entitled The End: Omicron. If you read “Alpha,” then you know the opener is about what happens when you exit Emperor Nero’s deadly, poisonous grip. “Omicron,” however, is what happens when you ENTER.

It’s a thrill ride of frightening proportions, and you’ll learn just how far our protagonist can be pushed.

Get it now, signed by me right here in my store, or you can visit Amazon and get it in Kindle, paperback, or hardcover. The Audiobook is also coming soon, most likely dropping next week after it passes its QA phase.

To every one of you: Thank you SO much for your support of my writing and my books! Now get ready for the finale, “Omega!” It will drop sometime this summer.

Also, I’d love to hear from you! Please leave me a comment here and tell me what you thought of any of my books, which ones you’ve read, etc., and feel free to join me in my exclusive, private Facebook group for giveaways, news on upcoming appearances, contests, new releases, and more.

Hey everybody! Hope you’re enjoying your Tuesday. We’re finally getting some sunshine up here in Washington and I’m lovin’ it! Just got back from a great Norwescon conference and had a wonderful time serving as a panelist on seven different panels, including reading from my own books!

First things first, are you in the Puget Sound area?

I’ve got an upcoming book signing – come see me with “Booth 2.0!” I’ll post pictures later, but I’ve totally overhauled my book signing booth with custom tablecloths, library racks, tablets to play my videos, new backdrops, and new books! Hope to see you this weekend…the next appearance is at the upcoming Olympia Arts Walk on 4.25-4.26. Following this weekend, I’ll be at the Washington UFO Summit on May 3rd and can’t wait! Talk about being right in my element with the “Dissonance” alien invasion saga!

Hello to all my readers, family and friends!

I’ve got two new surprised in store…some things I’ve been working on in the interim, and I’ve just published them!

First up, “God Is Not Santa.” Does your prayer life…uh, suck? If so, check out my new book with some illuminating ways to approach God without feeling like you’re just going down a list of requests. Some lessons have truly opened my eyes, and I longed to share them with you. You can get it at my bookstore (available mid-April), or through Amazon (available now) in Kindle, paperback and hardcover. Use coupon code FREESHIPNOW for free shipping, or FIFTEENOFF for 15% off!

Secondly, for those of you who are as much a diehard Lord of the Rings fan as I am, I published “Examining The Lord of the Rings: An independent critique by Aaron Ryan.” Tolkien’s epic was the first thing that I remember really inspiring me. In this book, not only do you see why, but I treat readers to a 65-stanza original poem tribute to Tolkien’s creative genius. It’s called, simply, Ode To Tolkien. I hope you enjoy it! You can get it at my bookstore (available mid-April), or through Amazon (available now) in Kindle, paperback and hardcover. Use coupon code FREESHIPNOW for free shipping, or FIFTEENOFF for 15% off!

Thank you for reading – and April is right around the corner. Come onnnnnnn Springtime! 🙂

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

…sort of. Oh, I’m not done writing, not by any stretch of the imagination! Lo contrare, I’m THRILLED to announce that I have begun work on my new Christian fiction post-apocalyptic series entitled “The End.” It’s clean fiction, with zero profanity, zero sex or drugs or bullying – or aliens! (Although look out for Easter eggs referring to Dissonance!) It’s a unique trilogy that I’m sure is going to make its mark.

“THE END” takes place in 2113. I just knew that when I was done with Dissonance, I had to work on something epic and overtly Christian, and I’m utterly proud to be working on this. I’m currently at 127 pages, and it’s coming along really, really well. Get ready for a year of new book signings and release parties, because this one is going to be a whopper! Here’s the synopsis:

When Constantine Jedidiah Goodfellow shot up through the senate, people were all-too surprised and delighted to see someone in the prime of life wanting to heal wounds, bring people together, and bring peace, so they elected him President.

His aim, however, was to bring the exact opposite.

The year is 2113, and Christianity is under siege.  A massive virus has torn across the planet and killed off half of the world’s population and its leaders.  Goodfellow, having changed his name to “Nero” in honor of the Roman emperor, has declared himself de facto leader over the remainder of mankind, and commenced the eradication of Christianity.

In a small community outside Chicago, Illinois, eighteen-year-old Sage Maddox is endowed with wisdom and street smarts well beyond his years.  Though his entire family has been killed off by Sentinels – ruthless killing machines dispatched by Nero – he is determined to do his part to bring much-needed justice and restore safety to Christians throughout the world.  There’s just one thing…

Nero is waiting for him.

What are your thoughts? Leave a comment below – I’d love to hear from you!
