Coming Soon: “Return of the Visitor”

The Silver Sphere Series

Silenna, the Scientist/Warrior from the planet Aneleya, returns to Earth to begin her long-awaited Humanitarian work. From the start, her promise to the people of Earth gets off on the wrong foot when Air Force fighter jets come within a hair’s breadth of blowing the Dauntless 2 and its crew out of the sky. After an uneasy landing at an Air Force base in Washington, D.C., Silenna and her friends, Amy and Jacob Cassel, and Arcon, an Aneleyan superintelligent AI contained in a silver sphere, decide to focus first on saving the lives of terminally ill patients. They are joined in this effort by Lenora, a lifelike Android created by scientists on the survivor colony, New Aneleya.

Before this healing initiative even gets off the ground, the President of the United States, Trevor Aston III, wants to meet Silenna and her companions. Because the President feels the world is already teetering on a delicate balance of power, he believes the timing isn’t right to introduce a seven-foot Alien woman with an agenda into world politics. He intends to politely and diplomatically send Silenna back to where she came from.

Meeting an oppositional U.S. President in a retrofitted Sikorsky helicopter on the outskirts of a New Jersey airfield is only the first of many obstacles Silenna and her friends will have to face. Someone or something is stalking them. The perpetrator is either the smartest and most elusive assassin the world has ever known, or a deadly group of terrorists. Danger lurks at every turn, and the authorities are baffled.

“Return of the Visitor” will surprise you, entertain you, and open your heart in ways that you never imagined. Although it is the sixth volume of the Silver Sphere Series, the novella can be enjoyed as a standalone story.

Take an Unpredictable Deep Space Journey in “Return to Aneleya”

Writer and adventurer Jacob Casell,  his lovely Astronomer wife Amy, and their brilliant but moody AI friend, Arcon, are at it again. Joined by new crew members, the trio embarks on a training mission in preparation to chauffeur a group of world leaders around the solar system to impart perspective and promote peace. As is often the case, their intentions are honorable, but the results are disastrous.

While parked in orbit around the swirling clouds of Jupiter, four alien freighters appear to siphon off enough of the planet’s gaseous atmosphere to cause a gravity imbalance. The intrepid Aneleyan Starcruiser, which Amy and Jacob have named ‘the Dauntless,’ will be devoured and crushed by Jupiter’s gravity unless the crew can escape orbit.

Find out what happens next in this extraordinary adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing until the very end.

Although Return to Aneleya is the fifth book in the Silver Sphere Series, there is enough background included in the story to orient new readers and allow them to enjoy the novella as a stand-alone offering, and arouse enough curiosity to pick up the earlier editions.

“Return to Aneleya by David Gittlin transports readers back into the Silver Sphere universe with a thrilling space adventure that’s equal parts danger and charm. When Jacob Casell, his wife Amy, and their AI companion Arcon embark on a routine mission, things go off the rails fast. Alien freighters are harvesting Jupiter’s atmosphere, the Dauntless is nearly destroyed, and diplomacy quickly turns into a fight for survival.

Despite the stakes, this installment balances high-concept sci-fi with accessible storytelling, witty dialogue, and strong emotional beats. And while it’s technically book five, the story stands solidly on its own, introducing its stakes and characters in a way that welcomes new readers to the galaxy.

Author David Gittlin blends smart sci-fi ideas with a warm, character-focused heart. I enjoyed how much fun this book was—it didn’t just throw me into danger, it gave me a crew I wanted to root for. Arcon, the AI, brings just the right touch of humor and logic to balance the very human tensions between Jacob and Amy. The pacing is fast but not rushed, and the imaginative settings that go from deep space to the swirling chaos near Jupiter really drew me in. Even the politics were interesting without bogging the plot down.

Overall, Return to Aneleya is an exciting, thoughtful, and thoroughly entertaining space opera for anyone who loves adventure with a human (and artificial) touch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it, and I can’t wait to see what else comes out of this fascinating story universe in the future.”

River to the Multiverse

The Sequel to “Promise of the Visitor”

AVAILABLE NOW

 Join ebullient mystery writer Jacob Cassel, his astronomer wife Amy, a highly evolved and sometimes cantankerous AI named Arcon, and Silenna, a courageous Aneleyan scientist, in an outer space adventure that will keep you turning pages and guessing what happens next.

Silenna is a visitor from a planet that has been destroyed in an intragalactic war. She has come to Earth to begin a peace initiative to avoid what happened to her home world, Aneleya. In addition, Silenna has tangible solutions to offer for our world’s most vexing problems.

At the end of her first public address to the United Nations General Assembly, Silenna receives a distress call from a crew of Aneleyan survivors stranded in the Golden River Nebula 4,077 light years away from Earth. Now, Silenna has a dilemma. Does she ignore the distress call and fulfill her promises to the people of Earth? Or does she answer the distress call from the few survivors of her race?

River to the Multiverse is the fourth novella in The Silver Sphere Series. It continues the saga from the third novella, Promise of the Visitor. You can read the previous three illustrated novellas in The Silver Sphere Trilogy, or read the novellas individually. While it helps to be familiar with the previous three novellas, it is not necessary to read them first. The author has included enough information in River to the Multiverse to orient the reader to this stand-alone story.
