A.G. Riddle

A.G. Riddle is an American fiction writer. His debut novel, The Atlantis Gene, the first book in a trilogy (The Origin Mystery), has sold over three million copies worldwide. The Atlantis Gene has been translated into twenty-four languages. Now, the book is in development to be a major motion picture.

Riddle grew up in Boiling Springs, North Carolina. He graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill. During his sophomore year in college, he started his first company with a childhood friend.

A.G. Riddle spent ten years starting internet companies before becoming a full-time fiction writer. He made a successful debut in 2013 with The Origin Mystery series, after which he became the bestselling author of over 10+ books with over 4 million copies sold and translated into 24 languages.

"I love learning about science and history. That's something that I felt like I could do pretty well. And I felt very confident. I also felt like there was an audience out there, an under-served audience that was hungry for these science and history-based thrillers. What I would say is I chose my genre very well." Riddle said.

His fourth novel, Departure, follows the survivors of a flight that takes off in 2015 and crash-lands in a changed world. 20th Century Fox is developing it for a feature film.

His Pandemic (2017) focuses on a team of researchers investigating an outbreak that could alter the human race. The sequel, Genome, concludes the two-book series.

Winter World (2019) depicts a group of scientists racing to stop a global ice age. It is the first book in The Long Winter Trilogy.

The time travel thriller Lost in Time (2022) follows a widowed father whose girlfriend gets murdered, and he and his daughter face accusations of the crime. And this takes place in the future in which murderers aren't sent to prison. They're sent to the past, 200 million years into the past, to the time of the dinosaurs. The book became a Sunday Time bestseller.

His latest novel is Quantum Radio (2023), a science fiction novel that combines elements of quantum physics, scientific discovery, and suspense.

A.G. Riddle currently lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his family.
