Physicist Dr. Amy Levine has discovered a mathematical sequence--the Colorado Sequence--that describes an underlying pattern and a guiding force within the very fabric of reality. Now she's on the verge of an astonishing breakthrough, and the U.S. government wants to know how she has done it. How has Dr. Levine learned to accurately predict the future? And they're willing to kill her to find out. Levine and a group of friends escape to Colorado to unravel the mystery of the sequence, but there they become snowbound. They must locate a secret treasure room, find a hidden key, and answer an ancient riddle before a devastating eruption destroys them all ... and the power of the Colorado Sequence is lost forever.
"The Colorado Sequence, by Stacey Cochran, is a unique blend of hard science fiction, fantasy, and thriller ... The strength of this book is the story and level of suspense.

With strange creatures, harsh elements, and deadly tests, danger seems to lurk around every corner." -- SciFiChick.com

Thanks, Ken. Yes, FYI, I've been publishing on podiobooks for 4 years. I think I've made 10 dollars in donations. On Kindle, on the other hand, selling at just 1 dollar per copy, I've made 400 dollars in the past 2 weeks. I am tweaking the final episode as I'm writing this post and will upload in a few minutes!By: Ken
I for one have enjoyed the book. While it has been frustrating waiting for the next chapter to be published we all should keep one thing in mind... IT?S FREE. Mr. Cochran has been kind enough to give this content away and is getting next to nothing for it (beyond publicity, you didn't think he was completely altruistic did you?) So let?s cut him some slack, if you don?t like the book, stop listening. If your frustrated with the lack of consistency it the releases of the episodes, remember it?s free (beyond a donation if the urge moves you). I for one am glad that Mr. Cochran has afforded me with hours of, what has turned out to be a pretty good story. Thank you Mr. Cochran.By: Stacey Cochran
