description: The Odyssey – Part two of the Sphere-World Series
  A Sci-Fi, a Romance, a Fantasy
  One way – once chance! A journey that will change the way they view human history.
  Bella and Nick are about to leave
  space station Delta 9
   behind forever; undertaking the journey of a lifetime to make their way back to Earth.
   Five billion light-years of uncharted territory, unknown dangers, and years of confinement in a tiny spaceship lie ahead. Their companions are hope, fear, love, and desperation. Their values and loyalties get challenged, as their boundaries and ethics shift. The rules that kept a pocket of humankind functional for 5,000 years in the isolation of outer space no longer apply to the handful of people on board The Odyssey!
   It is a journey into the unknown and dangerous depths of the universe, a journey to the home planet of humankind, a place that nobody had contact with in over 5,000 years. Earth might well be wrecked, devastated, destroyed - unfit for humans to live, perhaps even devoid of life entirely.Nobody knows!
   Nick Cole doesn't care: All he wants is to take Bella away from The Sphere - the alien artifact, which is home to Dylan, Bella's imaginary husband... or so Nick thinks; because Nick is in love with Bella.
  Bella doesn't care either: All she wants is to spirit her alien husband away from the confines of the space station, where he lies in hiding, desperately trying to conceal his presence from his species as well as from the humans. He must stay undiscovered! Everybody's life is at stake.
  It is also a journey into the human mind. A journey of change and adaptation. A journey to the boundaries of human morals, ethics, and laws. Allegiances, beliefs, and ethics get challenged and re-written.
   As the laws and rules of the space-stationers' society become irrelevant to the crew of The Odyssey, as changing social dynamics and environments force them to reconsider and redefine their personal values and boundaries, friendships threaten to break apart, and social bonds weaken.
   The human mind is easy to overwhelm - feeble when faced with the unthinkable.
  Who will make it through the turmoil unscathed? Who will survive, and who will perish?
