KATY, TX, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Award-winning author Rick Tabor announces the release of his gripping new sci-fi political thriller, The Blink of Humanity. Merging the dark underbelly of international politics with science fiction, the novel takes readers on a breathless and dangerous journey in a race to save a fractured world.

Colon Pyles, a corrupt real estate mogul, ruins the lives and childhoods of trafficked young girls. He hides his dark deeds with lies, wealth, fame and influence and steps into the arena of national politics. With the nefarious assistance of President Vladimir Zmeya of Russia, Colon becomes President of the United States.

Mila Cross is a brilliant bioengineer with epilepsy who develops medical assistance robotic dogs to help others with epilepsy. Kelsey is her AI robotic dog who dreams of becoming King of the World.

In the blink of an eye, the city of Chicago and the love of Mila’s life are destroyed by two nuclear suitcase bombs. Mila and Kelsey form an unlikely alliance with a stranded extraterrestrial and the Inuit who saved him from the CIA to bring justice to the two most powerful men in the world.

Packed with cinematic action, high-tech ingenuity, and geopolitical intrigue, The Blink of Humanity asks a haunting question: Can the team stop Colon Pyles from setting fire to a teetering mountain of lost, broken, and hate-filled nations, or will it be too late for humanity?

"I wanted to write a story that explores a David versus Goliath clash between corrupt political power and the resilient spirit of the marginalized," says author Rick Tabor. "Through Mila, Kelsey, and their illegal alien friends, readers will see a terrifyingly plausible world pushed to its absolute brink, where the only hope lies in love."

The Blink of Humanity is available for purchase beginning September 7th on Amazon. Soon to be available at other major booksellers.
