‘Rings of Saturn: Enemy Within’ Launches as New Military Sci-Fi Thriller Inspired by UFO Narratives, Space Command Myths, and Deep Space Conflict Themes

New novel by commercial pilot David Brandon explores classified space command, interstellar warfare, and long-circulated online theories including Solar Warden secret space program narratives

FORT MYERS, Fla., June 9, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “Rings of Saturn: Enemy Within” (ISBN: 978-1834380247), released March 27, 2026, through Tellwell Publishing, is a new military science fiction novel by pilot and flight instructor David Brandon. The book launches into a cultural moment marked by renewed global interest in UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), government transparency discussions, and science fiction storytelling inspired by aerospace and extraterrestrial themes.

The novel follows U.S. Air Force F-16 pilot Dan Russell, who is recruited into a highly classified Space Command program and given just one week to decide whether to enter a secret three-year commitment involving advanced spacecraft operations. Upon entering training, Russell meets Katrina, a Russian fighter pilot, and the two form a relationship that becomes increasingly strained as they uncover the reality of their mission.

As the story unfolds, the pair discover that a covert military space division, referred to in the narrative as Solar Warden—is engaged in an escalating conflict involving an alien presence operating within Saturn’s rings, known as the Galactic Council. Faced with revelations that challenge their understanding of allegiance, command structure, and reality itself, they begin to question whether they are fighting on the correct side of an interstellar war.

Brandon’s novel is inspired by long-circulated online narratives surrounding secret space program theories, including the Solar Warden secret space program theories, reimagined through a military science fiction lens that blends psychological tension, romance, and speculative aerospace technology.

A commercial pilot and former flight school owner, Brandon draws from his aviation background and long-standing interest in both aerospace systems and science fiction storytelling to create a grounded yet expansive narrative.

The release comes amid continued public and cultural interest in unidentified aerial phenomena, reflected in ongoing UAP discussions, congressional hearings, and studies conducted by defense and space agencies. This growing fascination has also been strongly represented in contemporary film, television, and documentary filmmaking, where creators continue to explore first contact scenarios, classified aerospace programs, and unexplained aerial encounters as enduring subjects of public curiosity.

New SF Book Offers Fictional Window into The Intersection of Science and Traumatic Events

TAMPA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- The recently-released "TRAUMERGY" (ISBN: 978-1633572874) by Patrick R. Carberry, published by New Harbor Press, is a science fiction thriller that's as compelling as it is provoking. The author invites readers to join him on a captivating journey where he delves into what he calls TRAUMERGY - also known as traumatic energy.

This Sci-Fi mystery work urges readers to think outside the box. Consider this. What if traumatic events were stored in the brain as traumatic memories and could be viewed with new technology? That's just what Carberry addresses in this page-turning read.

At the heart of the story is Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Professor Peter Morley. He's a retired FBI Intelligence Officer and Christian man who becomes a neutrino physicist at Cambridge, MA's MIT. While there, he starts to use this new traumergy technology which displays stored traumatic events via holograms.

How does it work? When a high level of trauma is experienced during a traumatic event, an energy is emitted, similar to waves of light that travel through space unseen by the human eye. These energy forms have existed for some time and while working on a new physics apparatus called a neutrino detector, Morley identifies an anomaly. Up to this point, no one has been able to understand how neutrinos interact with humans. They can be detected, but then they disappear. Morley has found a way to "tap" into these trauma energy events.

While, working on a prototype of traumergy, he identifies a conspiracy: The leaders of a company plan to go public after there's a murder and stolen technology from MIT. Morley works to find the truth using traumergy and identifies a timeline which first started in 33AD.

"TRAUMERGY" is available on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Indigo, Book Depository, Booktopia, wherever books are sold.

New book ‘The Modern Prometheus: Why the 21st Century Intellectual Must Be Fearless to Succeed’ ravages cancel culture using ancient and modern philosophy

SHELBURNE, Nova Scotia /ScoopCloud/ -- Philosopher and historian Procopius Canning announces the release of "The Modern Prometheus: Why the 21st Century Intellectual Must Be Fearless to Succeed" (ISBN 979-8735137177). In this book, Canning, writing as an exiled fugitive 300 years from today, combines science fiction with established philosophical concepts to critically investigate current news events, and the controversial social issues behind them, using the perspective of a future whistleblower historian and philosopher.

Cast in the years 2114 to 2290 CE, after the U.S., Canada, and Mexico have united to form the Glorious Tri-North American Alliance, an omnipotent Board stifles freedom of thought under the guise of preserving democracy, with secret tribunals. These furtive trials are made privy to the reader by future historical chronicler Procopius Canning, and the reader gets to witness them only because he surreptitiously smuggled out his official recordings, which were then made into this ominous and prophetic book. Using this device, social issues are explored, and philosophy becomes courtroom drama, as various characters are put on trial three centuries from now, for intellectual transgressions against prescribed social order.

"Philosophers have had to deal with cancel culture for thousands of years. Consider the unfortunate fate of Socrates, Hypatia of Alexandria, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King," says Canning, adding, "the ability to think freely is sacrosanct to philosophers; exploratory freedom is an essential ingredient for humanity's intellectual evolution, and a vital pillar of genuine democracy. Cancel culture is the erosion of freedom of thought, and thus also, of philosophy itself."

In this thought-provoking book, Canning weaves together a melange of compelling and often provocative topics, explored using different characters, each facing punishment, some death. These include future Nobel Prize winning scientist Eugenia Barbara Florstein, charged with Criticism Extra Humanitario, for researching Professor Jordan Peterson's use of Jungian archetypes, Terrence Devon Wagner, who as every future schoolchild knows, in 2256 CE, proved Einstein's Theory of General Relativity false, using the symbolic logic that is included in the book, and for comic relief, Rafael Edward (Ted) Cruz III, a future politician who just can't seem to get elected, due to vicious viral memes against him, based on his ancestor's association the the Zodiac Killer. Even the philosophy of gothic novelist Mary Shelley, and her philosopher mother Mary Wollstonecraft, must be cancelled, if modern standards are applied, according to the Board.

Ultimately a call for calm, reason, tolerance, and the Golden Rule, 'The Modern Prometheus: Why the 21st Century Intellectual Must Be Fearless to Succeed', uses current events to show that philosophy, literally, "the love of wisdom", is as relevant and useful for understanding our world today, as it was in 300 BCE. Available on amazon.com.

Cirsova Publishing to Reprint Nearly-Lost Julian Hawthorne Planetary Romance, ‘The Cosmic Courtship’

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. /ScoopCloud/ -- Cirsova Publishing is proud to announce that it has partnered with Michael Tierney and Robert Allen Lupton to restore and reprint Julian Hawthorne's "The Cosmic Courtship" ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cirsova/the-cosmic-courtship-by-julian-hawthorne ), a never-before-collected pulp Planetary Romance by the son of famed American author Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Mary Faust, a brilliant scientist, has developed a machine that can allow the conscious human soul to explore the cosmos! Her promising young assistant Miriam Mayne has accidentally transferred her consciousness to Saturn, where she falls under the enchantment of an evil sorcerer! Jack Paladin, her love, sets out after her on a thrilling celestial journey to the ringed planet! Swashbuckling adventure and high romance await in Julian Hawthorne's "The Cosmic Courtship!"

While most are at least somewhat familiar with Nathaniel Hawthorne as one of the great American authors, less well known is that his son Julian was an incredibly prolific writer in his own right. Julian wrote on a wide variety of subjects, ranging from literary analysis of his father's works to poetry to period romances and adventures. Late in his career, Julian even dabbled in the emerging genre of Science Fiction.

"The Cosmic Courtship" was serialized in Frank A. Munsey's All-Story Weekly across four issues, beginning with the November 24, 1917 issue and running through the December 15, 1917 issue. While this story has been in the public domain for some time, it has never been collected or published elsewhere until now.

Cirsova Publishing has taken on this exciting project with the aim to preserve this story for posterity and ensure that it is not lost to future generations.

Michael Tierney ( http://www.thewildstars.com ) is a pulp historian and archivist who has written extensively on Edgar Rice Burroughs, having created the massive four volume "Edgar Rice Burroughs 100 Year Art Chronology," and is currently working on another Art Chronology about Robert E. Howard. He has been involved in the comic book industry for 40 years, owning two of the oldest comic book stores in Central Arkansas until switching to mail-order only in 2020. He is also an accomplished science fiction writer and artist, having worked on his Wild Stars saga since the 1970s. Michael not only made his pulp library available for this project, he provided the photographic images of these rare magazines so that a manuscript could be produced. He has also lent his years of experience digitally restoring damaged pulp art to restore the original cover by Fred W. Small to create a unique cover for this edition.

Robert Allen Lupton ( https://www.facebook.com/people/Robert-Allen-Lupton/100022680383572 ) is a prolific author, pulp historian, and commercial hot air balloon pilot. He has published nearly 200 short stories across numerous anthologies, including the New York Times Best Selling Chicken Soup For the Soul series, and has published several anthologies and novels. His most recent novel, "Dejanna of the Double Star" was published in December 2020. Robert has been an active Edgar Rice Burroughs historian, researcher, and writer since the 1970s, including at ERBzine ( www.erbzine.com/lupton/ ), where several of his articles and stories are published. Robert has painstakingly recreated the text as it was originally published from the digital images provided from Michael's collection.

ABOUT CIRSOVA PUBLISHING:

Cirsova Publishing ( http://www.cirsova.wordpress.com/ ) has been publishing thrilling adventure science fiction and fantasy since 2016. They have published nearly 20 issues of their flagship publication, Cirsova Magazine. Additionally, they have published a number of anthologies, a fully illustrated edition of Leigh Brackett's Planet Stories-era Stark adventures, Jim Breyfogle's Mongoose and Meerkat, and the 35th Anniversary Editions of Michael Tierney's Wild Stars.

This collected edition of The Cosmic Courtship will be released later in 2021.

New Novel Debates Ominous Cures for Two Crises: Recurring Pandemics and Too Many Men

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Born out of a raging pandemic, Buzz McCord's new techno-thriller wrestles with artificial intelligence, surveillance and sex crime. "A Final Reminder" (ISBN: 978-1736148815) moves energetically between upbeat and malevolent. Its author wrote it to simultaneously entertain and enrage.

"A Final Reminder" walks the line between literary fiction and international intrigue. It transports readers to a near-future world where Dr. Dirk Samuelson, a San Francisco entrepreneur and founder of tech-conglomerate, Arctan International, has invented software that can stop any pandemic by tracking every person's movement and behaviors. He controls global data with formidable technical and economic barriers including 64-Qubit computers, space-based data-banking and lofty politicians.

McCord takes us to a still-hopeful world of bioluminescent hairdos and augmented human intelligence. Its scarred by recurring pandemics and burdened with ubiquitous ultraviolet sterilization and government-mandated instant pathogen detector machines.

"If history has taught us anything, it's that there will be another deadly global pandemic," said Bill Gates in his Shattuck Lecture, Boston, April 2018.

McCord adds, "Science has warned that viral scourges will repeat and get worse. We should be deeply alarmed, maybe systemically fearful."

In real life, Samuelson's software, Exoculation, is being studied by Shin Bet and MIT. Apple and Google recently announced that cellphones are already used to trace individual personal contacts.

Big Brother is here. So, what's next? McCord takes a stab at interpreting a picture of what's to come.

"I wanted to capture amazing technologies as well as an optimistic near-future, where talented people will be the empowered 'international currency,'" he says. "In my novel, society reacts to the catastrophic death tolls of recurring pandemics with what I call the 'Roaring Twenty-Twenties.' And, women in 'A Final Reminder' are supremely confident in their professional abilities - business, neurobiology, assassination - as well as their sexual selves."

Further threats arise from nearly a half billion "excess" human males.

McCord says, "The good guys in 'A Final Reminder' are forced to deal with this, but the solution is very ugly."

"A Final Reminder" describes a future coming soon to a reality near you.

About the Author

Buzz McCord is a tech-preneur and professor. "A Final Reminder" grew out of his career in international science, invention and teaching. A lifetime traveler, he prepped two years for the book in Albania, Norway, Korea, Tokyo and Kamchatka. He was chased in 2020 by the freshly emerging SARS-CoV-2 from Hong Kong through Cambodia into Vietnam. He's an award-winning documentary filmmaker.

McCord lives with his wife in Southern California. His favorite place to write is the lifeguard tower RJ near the river jetty on cold and windy days.

More Space Aliens, Badder Mothers and What About Those Guns? Strong Women Take on Invasion in 4th Outing of Book Series

WILMINGTON, Vt. /ScoopCloud/ -- "Space Aliens, Bad Mothers And Guns! Volume 4" (ISBN: 979-8622866586) has been released on Amazon. The twins, Ayesha DeRaville and Sonise Lumbaca (DeRaville Sisters), of DSMAN, LLC, are at it again, bringing their fanbase (and welcoming new readers) 14 new short stories in their fourth self-published novel.

The majority of their literary characters are women and focus on the human condition, highlighted in an anthology format, all delivered with a satirical twist.

Ayesha DeRaville, originally a native New Yorker, is a television professional who has worked on "Apprentice," "Dancing With The Stars" and "Hillbilly Blood." In addition to writing and producing she spends her time enjoying landscape photography in Vermont and planning epic adventures around the world.

Sonise Lumbaca is an Army war veteran, who served as both a Public Affairs and Communications Officer. Sonise draws her inspiration for writing and illustration from her love of traveling the world. In her spare time, she participates in cold weather activities and spends her time with friends and family.

In addition to their "Space Aliens, Bad Mothers and Guns!" book series, the DeRaville Sisters have independently written both fiction and non-fictional works to include, "Escape to Greener Pastures" by Sonise Lumbaca and "The Bottom Line: A Guide to Running Your Own Reality Production Company," by Ayesha DeRaville.

Their other ventures include an online magazine, "Space Aliens, Bad Mothers And Guns!: The Magazine," attending fanbase events and creating additional content to include animation shorts, with a graphic novel in the works.
