Book 2. NAIMERA: Sapient Quest

7,800 light years from Earth…

Binary Star System V Sagittae is dying, forcing the inhabitants of a highly advanced civilization to flee in search of a new home. When their planetary reconnaissance spaceships are spotted, every major power sets out to capture one. Led by world-renowned astrophysicist, Dr. Miles Pierce, and joined by a small team of bio-engineered NAIMERAs, a top-secret American mission, code-named Sapient Quest, is determined to be the first.

Driven by a dream of meeting extraterrestrials, Miles and the NAIMERAs find their initial excitement replaced by fear that the fate of Earth may be sealed.


“A gritty work of sci-fi that feels ripped from a near-future headline, this is the kind of science fiction that effortlessly captures the contemporary imagination. The world-building here deserves particular praise; Ganzberger envisions what humanoid evolution and ingenuity could achieve in another million years, and it’s brain-bendingly cool, while other future-tech elements are thrillingly inventive. This high-stakes alien tech drama is bursting with creativity and suspense, boasting a strong storyline that should appeal to readers of any genre.”

“A Grand Sequel

Michael Ganzberger writes an intriguing sci-fi, techno-thriller tale with NAIMERA: Sapient Quest. This book is part of the NAIMERA series, and this is volume two, I have been waiting for the sequel for a while to be released! I was very excited to read this, and I went back and read the first book, to get back into the story. I am a big fan of Michael Ganzberger and want to read whatever this author writes. This author has a grand imagination, and talent for showing the story…

The author weaves a tangled web of story and captures the reader. It’s literally out of this world!…

NAIMERA: Sapient Quest is a definite recommendation by Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews.”

“An often-gripping alien invasion tale starring an extraordinary creation.” — Kirkus Reviews

“OUR VERDICT: GET IT.”  — Kirkus Reviews


Book 1. NAIMERA: Absence of Grace


“In this biotech-driven series starter, the author masterfully fuses SF tropes with an investigative thriller in a blend of genres that makes for an offbeat adventure. The plotline is timely and relevant, reflecting contemporary international discussions surrounding human and drug trafficking.”                —Kirkus Reviews


“Well edited and articulately written by Michael D. Ganzberger, NAIMERA: Absence of Grace spans the North American continent with plenty of action, drama, and intrigue to keep the reader interested and invested in the story. Ganzberger integrates surprisingly different genres in this action thriller, adding unexpected fantasy and sci-fi elements to his fast-paced tale of a fight against the villainous leader of a vicious cartel.” —IndieReader


“The unabashed creativity of the storyline lays an exciting foundation for a much longer series – combining the appeal of hard fantasy with sci-fi tech. The action sequences are sharply imagined, and the tension and urgency of the entire plot is palpable. Strong personalities and an unpredictable plot keep readers flipping pages, while the author’s vivid imagination holds a lot of promise for the next book in this high-flying series. Combining family drama and political intrigue with military and fantasy elements, Ganzberger has delivered a thrilling, genre-busting work.”

— Self-Publishing Review


“NAIMERA: Absence of Grace combines military operation suspense with bio-engineered creatures and hi-tech.

“It’s a magnificently told story that brings the tech world with action packed, thrilling scenes. I loved the story, and characters, and how it plays out. There isn’t just one plot, there are a lot of smaller ones that make the entire story work. The author’s technique of intense characters and great plotlines is a gift. It’s a great story to follow and try to figure out what will happen next. It’s definitely an attention grabber. The thrills and intrigue are written clearly and the characterizations are engrossing. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.”
