Climb Aboard The Second Ship With Author Richard Philips

Richard Phillips has spent over 30 years developing aerospace
software for the U.S. government. During this time, he was
exposed to many classified projects for developing aircraft and
flight-system technologies. He draws on this experience in his
first book in “The Rho Agenda” series, The Second Ship (Synergy
Books, May 2009, 978-0-9815462-6-1, $13.95).
Born and raised in Roswell, N.M., a place that has become the
heart for alien conspiracies, Phillips grew up with a conviction
that we are not alone in this universe.
“I have always held a fascination that there could be life on other
planets,” Phillips says. “I think that suspicion comes growing up
in Roswell.”
Eager to learn more about the government, Phillips attended the
United States Military Academy at West Point where he earned a
Bachelor of Science in engineering, in 1979. As an Army Ranger,
he then went on to serve with First Infantry Division in Europe
before earning a Master of Science in nuclear physics at the Naval Post Graduate School, in 1989.
Starting his professional career as a scientist and researcher, Phillips spent several years performing
classified research at Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories. He then went on to
work as a computer scientist for General Electric, Hughes Aircraft Information Systems, and Lockheed
Martin Space Operations, developing flight software and simulation systems.

After many years of working for the U.S. government, Phillips decided to expound on his experience and
pursue his passion as a writer.
