Ghosts of Ancient Vidura: AjJivadi - Book 2

An invasion tale with an original twist!

The year is 2025, and the aliens have arrived. Officially, not counting twenty-five-thousand years of AjJivadi influence on Earth, a secret that can no longer be kept.

Cosmic disaster looms in the near future. Intervention is at hand. In Washington DC, military authorities cook up plans to hijack spaceships. On Jivada, a sinister cabal maneuvers to rule the two planets. Millions of light years away, an unseen enemy stirs in its nest.

Meanwhile, a native human experiences past-life emergence — recalling old Vidura and the principles of trans-dimensional physics. At a furloughed missile launch site in Nevada, an AjJivadi workforce, long barred from Earth tourism, is going on vacation, campsites popping up like mushrooms after a soaking rain. The ghosts of ancient Vidura have returned.

Author note: Ghosts of Ancient Vidura is a science-fiction novel about first contact that doesn’t begin with lasers or invasions, but with memory, responsibility, and the quiet weight of history. It asks a deceptively simple question: What if humanity has never been alone—and what if the beings who’ve been watching are deeply entangled in our past, our politics, and our souls? This story blends hard science fiction, ancient history, spiritual philosophy, and near-future geopolitics into a single narrative where alien technology exists alongside NPR broadcasts, Air Force bureaucracy, YouTube influencers, and family trauma. The aliens aren’t metaphors—they’re citizens, lawyers, engineers, parents, and heirs to a civilization older than ours, wrestling with the ethics of disclosure and the consequences of intervention.
