Strolling on a moonlit beach, Jacob Casell contemplates the ending of his overdue manuscript. When Jacob stumbles across a shiny silver sphere, the artificial intelligence inside speaks to him telepathically. Jacob’s startling discovery is only the beginning of a real-life adventure that goes beyond anything his creative imagination has ever conceived. An apocalyptic event is hurtling towards the Earth at the speed of light, and there is no time to waste. The odds of surviving the catastrophe are shrinking by the second.

The Silver Sphere is the prequel to Cataclysm End of Worlds. The initial three novellas are included in "The Silver Sphere Trilogy," including the third novella, "Promise of the Visitor."

"David Gittlin successfully uses episodic storytelling to draw readers into the rollicking world of THE SILVER SPHERE, a fun, sci-fi buddy comedy. THE SILVER SPHERE is the first volume of a seven-part science fiction story, introducing a clever premise and a couple of interesting characters. THE SILVER SPHERE is a good story with interesting characters, but it's only a sliver of a much bigger tale, a tantalizing tidbit of something grander. Gittlin leaves readers wanting more."
Rob Errera for IndieReader

"The story jumps straight in without providing extensive world-building, but still delivers the details for a reader to be engrossed with this spellbinding science fiction story. It is a perfect mixture to provide a potent Sci-fi novella, which can be difficult to do successfully."
Thomas Anderson--Editor In Chief--Literary Titan

"David Gittlin's The Silver Sphere: It's Coming--No Time to Waste is a succinct alien encounter/apocalyptic story that opens a connected series of novellas. Sci-fi enthusiasts who love the theme of first contact but eschew the typical wade through a War of the Worlds-style scenario will relish both the format and the opportunity to absorb a high-octane drama.

"Protagonist Jacob Casell is strolling along a moonlit beach with anything but aliens or planetary disaster in mind when he stumbles upon a silver orb that communicates with him telepathically.

"His discovery both sets the stage for an out-of-this-world adventure and embraces karma, opportunity, and a wry sense of humor as the orb attempts interaction with a genuinely inferior species: "Do not be alarmed," the thing said. "The pulsing effect was me reanimating my systems. No sense wasting energy while I was waiting for you to happen along. You certainly took your time, didn't you? And, by the way, I'm not a 'thing.' I am a highly evolved organism. You can think of me as artificial intelligence. I am actually much more than an AI, but your mind is not capable of conceiving what I truly am."
