Writing Science Thrillers: How Predator Dominion Was Born

Author R.D. Brady explores the process of writing science thrillers with Predator Dominion as a case study.

At the heart of all my books, there’s one question I always ask:What happens when an ordinary person is forced to stand against extraordinary power?

Sometimes that power is supernatural.Sometimes it’s political.And sometimes—like in Predator Dominion—it’s scientific, and wrapped in the illusion of progress.

This is what drives my passion for writing science thrillers—stories where high-stakes survival and cutting-edge tech collide.

🧬 The Illusion of Control in Writing Science Thrillers

The seed for Predator Dominion was unsettling:What if we didn’t just protect nature—we programmed it?

That idea gave birth to Sanctuary Kingdom—a high-tech wildlife sanctuary concealing a darker military agenda. Neural implants. Controlled aggression. Widespread manipulation.

It’s a park built to fail, and once the system crashes, even the smallest species become threats.

🚨 Inspired by Real Tech

I drew from actual science while writing:

  • DARPA’s biological manipulation projects

  • Neuralink’s brain-machine interfaces

  • CRISPR-modified behavior experiments

  • Remote-controlled animals used in military ops

When writing science thrillers, real-world tech makes the fiction more terrifying—because it’s not far-fetched. It’s already here.

👣 Darby Ellis: The Power of the Unlikely Hero

Predator Dominion isn’t just a story about chaos. It’s about Darby Ellis—an ordinary woman with no combat training who chooses to lead when no one else will.

Her strength doesn’t come from weapons or technology—it comes from loyalty, resilience, and refusal to quit.

That’s the emotional core of writing science thrillers for me: grounding the extraordinary in someone utterly human.

👉 Love thrillers driven by real science and relentless survival?

Order Predator Dominion and enter Sanctuary Kingdom—where nature isn’t just dangerous, it’s been programmed to kill.
