Revelatory

In a universe forged by the Divine Being, the Septans are a unique creation — amphibious, pyrogenic, with a newly discovered telepathic ability. Their society, once guided by faith, now fractures under the rise of authoritarian control. Zan, an intelligence officer loyal to peace yet bound by conscience, is sent to investigate an anomaly at Sphear’s frozen pole: a colossal alien structure that defies natural explanation. As Zan and a junior officer descend into its mysteries, they uncover secrets linking alien civilisations, divine purpose, and the very nature of time. The deeper they go, the more the boundaries between science, spirituality, and destiny blur. Sphear is a story of faith under fire, freedom under threat, and civilisations on the edge of revelation. It will resonate with readers of Frank Herbert's Dune, C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, and Isaac Asimov's Foundation. (248 pages) Find it on Amazon as an eBook or Paperback.
