SphereWide Travel - A Fourth Sphere of Influence Book

Work is progressing well on a fourth book in the Sphere of Influence Trilogy. So, I guess it won't be a trilogy for much longer. SphereWide: Adventures of a Deep Space Travel Agent will be a stand-alone novel set in the Sphere, all about Theodore Stern, a travel agent who's never travelled.

​

I always said there would never be a fourth Sphere book. Just goes to show how much I know. When it came down to it, I couldn't stop myself.

Meet Jim, my very own iMentor

Some of you  already know Jim and Kim, the iMentors in the Sphere of Influence. Well now my web site has its very own Jim. Click on the orange button down in the bottom right and ask Jim a question. I can't guarantee a sensible answer, after all this isn't 23rd century tech of the kind that powers iMentor, it's an AI (Artificial Imbecile). Okay, so if you don't know what an iMentor is, let me point you in the direction of Deep Space Accountant as a primer.

​

I'm no fan of AI, especially after discovering that a bunch of my books were pirated to train one of the LLMs used by AI, and, hand on heart, I can promise you that, apart from Jim here,  you won't find me using AI anywhere else in my writing.
