My Books
I do my best to create fiction that is both entertaining and carries a meaningful payload. I hope you will enjoy reading these as much as I enjoyed writing them!
Ari Barak and the
Free-Will Paradox
Published 2017
My first full-length novel, in the unique genre of "Spiritual Science Fiction".
A wonderful adventure of two yeshiva students exploring parallel universes, solving the age-old paradox of free will...and making a horrible mess of history!
Witty, fascinating, un-put-downable.

Ari Barak:
Red Warrior's Gift
NEW! Published 2023
The long-awaited sequel has finally arrived! It took me five years to write it, and in my honest, humble opinion, it's simply next-level.
Early readers are loving the mind-bending plot twists, the snappy dialogue, and the lovable, relatable characters.
And, of course, they are mad at me for making them unable to put the book down, even when they really needed to go to sleep.
Sorry, not sorry. 😛
