“There are two forms of ‘knowing.’ You can know something and then do something about it. Or you can know something and look away, afraid to face the consequences of what you know to be true.”
“Moral ambition is the drive to drastically improve the world — to devote your career to addressing the biggest problems of our time.” - Rutger Bregman
I write geopolitical and high-concept thrillers, as well as literary fiction.
I try to keep the adrenaline pumping and the thrill ride going, while my characters tackle sore spots in our world, whether it is in crime, dictatorial regimes, the threat of nuclear escalation, a viral attack, human trafficking - or simply a violation of our human rights.
The object of ALL my books is to tell a good story, one that entertains, as well as raising social awareness about global issues we face, and showing how we can and must address them for the advancement of our culture and race.
I hope you find them both entertaining and revealing.

Look: Where Are YOU On the Spectrum? is a book of fundamental importance to everyone in the world, regardless of nationality, race, age or sex. It asks the essential question; what can be done to save our planet from sociopathic dictators who from one moment to the next could wipe out humanity with the press of a button.
Far from being a philosophical treatise, Author, Réal Laplaine, keeps the reader on the edge of their seat by creating a virtual forum using advanced technology whereby eleven individuals from different countries and walks of life are involved in making a documentary for an unknown client, one that is conducted by an AI hostess of stunning beauty, and over the course of this interaction, they come to terms with how to drastically improve the world through moral ambition.
A thought-provoking book that ends with a startling and completely unexpected twist.
" Undoubtedly a 5-star read."
