Occam's Razor, Hardcover

When ancient artifacts discovered in the Great Pyramid of Giza shed new light on a DNA pattern identified by a world-renowned molecular biologist, venture capitalist, James Anderson, is thrust into an action-packed road of scientific exploration and discovery. An unlikely participant in the events that begin to unfold, Anderson and his team, pursued by those who don't want this new information out, realize they have stumbled upon the greatest and most terrifying cover-up in the history of the human race.

Occam's Razor is a chilling speculative fiction thriller which ties together several well-known, and some not so famous controversial theories concerning alien visitation, human evolution, ancient legends, and the cosmos. The novel explains how it could be very plausible to imagine that the powers that be may already know about an impending disaster and caught between all this are the novel's unfortunate characters as they struggle to figure out what to do in the face of unstoppable catastrophe.

As an attorney and technology entrepreneur, Todd R. Ryden has built and sold companies to Motorola, Comcast, and other global institutions.

He received his undergraduate education at Purdue University, received his law degree from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, and has a Certificate in European Legal Studies from Tulane University School of Law, Paris, France.

Occam's Razor demonstrates his keen interest in science and the unanswered questions that riddle us all. As a dyslexic he views fact patterns, information, and connectivity of evidence a little differently from most people, and he suspects this contributed to his creation of this unique conspiracy thriller.

Mr. Ryden is passionate about philanthropies that focus on children facing adversity and works with organizations that pursue educational reform in struggling urban communities and schools. He has served in a Board capacity with Big Brother & Big Sisters, Christel House, and other children-focused nonprofits.

He is married to his high school sweetheart and has three sons.
