Silver Ships #13
Sojourn
Artifice, the great enemy, has been defeated. The sister SADEs, Omnian sentient digital entities, are free from their boxes. Most humans are unaware that the sisters have duplicated themselves many more times than suspected. They now constitute a sizable, powerful group, calling themselves the Sisterhood.
The elimination of Artifice's rule should be a time of relief and recovery for Alex Racine's Omnian fleet and for the Toralians, whose home world was Artifice's lair. Instead, it's a chaotic period.
Visitors appear, sailing the distinct, black-hulled Toralian battleships. Five colonial governors wish to witness the recovery of the ancient home world. President Sargut welcomes them, but Alex is suspicious about the governors' motives. In a face-to-face meeting, it becomes clear that the governors have a dark, ulterior purpose.
With the release of the federacy from Artifice's reign, word reaches the Omnians that races are embracing their newfound freedom. Some enjoy peace, some desire expansion, and some yearn for revenge.
The races' latter choices mean danger for the Toralians and Alex's fleet. Powerful battleship fleets are either sailing for the Toralian home world to exact reprisals, or they're seeking new territory. Every encounter presents a challenge for the Omnian fleet.
Some fleets have crossed the federacy's boundary and are headed toward humankind's worlds. Alex and the Omnians face a difficult choice. They must choose whether to defend the Toralian home world, which is forming a nascent society, or chase the fleets that are headed toward their planets.

About the author
S.H. Jucha
45 books469 followersFrom my early years to the present, books have been a refuge. They’ve fueled my imagination. I’ve traveled to faraway places and met aliens with Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Herbert, and Le Guin. I’ve explored historical events with Michener and Clavell, and I played spy with Ludlum and Fleming.
There’s no doubt that the early sci-fi masters influenced the writing of my first two series, The Silver Ships and Pyreans. I crafted my stories to give readers intimate views of my characters, who wrestle with the challenges of living in space and inhabiting alien worlds.
Life is rarely easy for these characters, who encounter aliens and calamities, but they persist and flourish. I revel in examining humankind’s will to survive. Not everyone plays fair or exhibits concern for other beings, but that’s another aspect of humans and aliens that I investigate.
My stories offer hope for humans today about what they might accomplish tomorrow far from our home world. Throughout my books, humans exhibit a will to persevere, without detriment to the vast majority of others.
Readers have been generous with their comments, which they’ve left on Amazon and Goodreads for others to review. I truly enjoy what I do, and I’m pleased to read how my stories have positively affected many readers’ lives.
If you’ve read my books, please consider posting a review on Amazon and Goodreads for every book, even a short one. Reviews attract other readers and are a great help to indie authors, such as me.
The Silver Ships novels have reached Amazon’s coveted #1 and #2 Best-Selling Sci-Fi book, multiple times, in the science fiction categories of first contact, space opera, and alien invasion.

This is one of my favorite series. I am so glad I discovered S. H. Jucha. This is book number 13 of the series. I felt that Jucha was using this installment to bring loose ends together and unite the system that was ruled by Artifice before heading home.
The book is well written and suspenseful with the discovery of a fleet on the way to their home world. It is great to visit Alex Racine and friends. My favorites are still the SADA’s. I can hardly wait for the next issue to come out.
I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. The book is fifteen hours and twenty minutes. Grover Gardner does an excellent job narrating the book. Gardner has won all the awards for audiobook narration. In 2018 he was the Publishers Weekly “Audiobook Narrator of the Year” and Audiofile Magazine’s “Best Voice of the Century”.

Thirteen books in this series so far. That’s fantastic. S. H. Jucha is a wonderful writer and very different from what I normally read in science fiction. Oh, this is a military science book, don’t get me wrong on that, but his treatment of war and warfighting in general is really magical. Led by Alex Racine, a former New Terran heavy worlder, his gathering of Omnians, Harakens, New Terrans, Dischnya and just about any other species he has met, have gathered around the planet Toral. They are now deciding what to do and when to do it.
Meanwhile, a group of Omnians that did not go with Alex and his fleet, have found a new water world that they initially explore. While the planet seems benign, it’s below the surface that they get in trouble. A traveler ship has been swallowed by a gigantic almost transparent sea monster. It has gone to it’s cave to digest its food and the traveler has no idea how to get out of their situation.
Back aboard the Sojourn, a Haraken explorer ship, Captain Azasdau and Willem, were in charge of the expeditionary mission and responsible for any and everything happening with the expedition. Yet, they were at a loss on how to rescue the “eaten” traveler with seven of their crew aboard. Even the Trident Captain, Adrianna Plummer, had no idea how to extract the traveler. They didn’t even have a good location for the traveler since it had dived to a depth that was out of communications reach. Still, there was no thought to abandon the traveler.
Then a fleet of seven unknown battleships has appeared in the system headed for the water world. Seven battleships against one Trident isn’t even close to a fair fight. Captain Plummer recognizes her disadvantage, but vows not to abandon her duty. She’ll stay to defend the Sojourn no matter the cost. She doesn’t even know if these unknown battleships are hostile. That is until they launch a mass of missiles directed towards the Guardian. So she has her hands full while the Sojourn has to figure out how to get their lost traveler recovered so they can leave this planet. They have no desire to claim this world, only to know whether it has a sentient life or not.
Back to Alex and his fleet around Toral, home world to the Toralians. Five battleship fleets have arrived in the vicinity of Toral, each with a Governor from the various Toralian colonies. They’ve come to see what has happened to their home world and to claim their right as ruler of the Toralians since the previous ruler has died. They do not know that President Sargut has formed a new society consisting of former Toralians and Omnian Sisters. They now go by the group name of Talusians. The new President doesn’t want a fight with his Governors, but they don’t appear to be giving him much choice. Of course, Alex and his fleet aren’t just sitting around doing nothing. They have shown the Toralian fleets that they face a formidable foe and are reminded that this is the same fleet that defeated Artifice!
So, this is just a few of the things going on in this book. While it seems there are several places where the book could have ended, it didn’t! Alex always seems to want to do something else and his people have no trouble following his lead. He is as usual, ready and willing to give these alien races the benefit of the doubt and if they are willing to be peaceful, they can reap the benefits of Omnian technology and be richly rewarded. Alex is just seeking good neighbors so the universe can live in peace. If he finds a race of sentient beings that don’t understand this concept, then he’s willing to teach them a good lesson and not allow them to settle worlds anywhere near human settlements.
A very well written story with the same kind of brilliant humanity that all previous twelve books have contained. And it doesn’t appear to end here. The next book is title “Alliance” and I’m sure it’s going to be great!

Alex Racine continues his role as a universe leader, but shows signs of learning to delegate more and more of his authority and decision making. It has been interesting watching his development from a rag-tag space tug captain to the go-to guy for multiple civilizations.

Weak and without Consequences
Once again Ghandi Alex goes off forgiving everyone and avoiding any fights he can. At one point there seems like Alex's pacifism is finally going to show the downside and make the book a real inspection of believes but once again it proves to be more of a preaching book than a thinking book. expositing how great non violence is without showing the realistic outcomes and downsides.
When he has a chance to surprise a 'aggressive' species and chase them off, he chooses the smallest option and does his normal 'imitation' strategy to chase them off, even though this race loves to destroy other races and kill, instead of the logical ignoring and showing Alex his error. It actually works and they run with heavy plot armor help. A perfect chance to let Alex lose friends and family to show the downside to pacifism is lost again. Like let Alex choose the 'safe' peace route and get his Mate killed or son. Let him face there is a downside and see if he still follows the route or lets them go. Show even if someone kills his Mate that he'll forgive them and let them go like he did Artifice. Not that he only does it so long as it doesn't affect him. Let his people die, let species die but so long as him, his son, Julian and Mate are safe then it's all good for him. Let someone close die and see if he's still all 'forgive and forget'.
Alex is god, simple as that. He can intimidate and bluff everyone without ever having to actually fight a battle. All battles are done by others when he isn't around and even the one battle he did do once again drones, was so he didn't have to kill thousands of pilots then he 'intimidated' the battleships to fleeing. It's getting predicable and boring, you at this point know he'll never be wrong, never have to fight or lose people himself, never have to attack others. Never have someone stand up to him or not back down. One stare from Alex and everyone backs down and runs away in battle or talking to him. At meetings of how things will progress ,everyone gives ideas, Alex ignores them and does what he wants. At this point all the meetings and suggestions are pointless since Alex never listens to any of them anyways.
What happens in a thousand years when Artifice tricks a Sister or corrupts one to helping him and is free to wreck the universe again. Takes over all the SADES through the sister and ruins everything, all because Alex couldn't end him and his threat. Does Alex care? No. His personal morals are more important than the safety of the universe. He claims all Omni people are equal then claims that the aliens have to accept human norms of voting to allow them their tech, not respecting the Queens as rulers and their ways. Enforcing his human values above theirs to give them anything.
At one point he is all about equality and respect, then turns around and puts human superiority above all. It makes no sense. Since he's Alex though , no one stands up to him. I'd have loved if just once person disagreed and swore to destroy Artifice, Made plans, got a ship, sailed it there and blew it up. Out of his whole fleet with people dying , not one person disagreed with Alex letting the species annihilating entity live? This is like if someone did Drugs murdered a whole state and then said " I was on drugs, it wasn't my fault' Then gets released in 10 years to go free. They made the choice, drugs or programs, THEY made the choice and the actions were done and pose a future threat, it needs to be ended.
So, besides that, besides Alex constantly god-moding his way out of problems because everyone runs away rather than fight even if they are aggressive species, this book is mostly about contracts and trade. No real substance. Hell he doesn't even invite species back to Omni to be part of his 'all' species. Not the Water world People, Not the Winged Aliens, Not the Plants, Not the underground froggies. It's rather lack luster over all. I had hoped Omnia would turn into a huge multi alien planet where all were welcomed, but doesn't seem to happen.

Another great installment in this Silver Ship series. I enjoyed the book even though there were a couple small annoyances. With this being the 13th book in the series I had forgotten the origin, planet and species, of some of the characters. I also had a little trouble remembering who was a SADE and who was human. The other issue I had was the naming conventions for the alien species. I loved the writers choices of names for the alien species but in many cases the names were so similar that I often had trouble remember who the character was. It was kinda like I needed the cheat sheet with all of the character's names, home planet, etc., that was presented in the end of the book. Otherwise I loved the book and look forward to the next installment.

I presumed the book would carry on from where the last one ended, but instead starts with an excursion to the problems of the explorer ship Sojourn. This was an interesting diversion, although I found it a bit hard to believe they didn’t have the technology to find and recover their lost Traveller.
However, after a few chapters the story returns to Alex and the aftermath of Artifice’s defeat. There is an excellent mixture of action and politics as the repercussions of releasing numerous repressed worlds are felt by Alex and the Toralians.
I really enjoyed this story and I love the many different characters and I happy to give five stars.

The title is deceiving, as this book couldn't be less about the Soljourn. However, it is a very interesting read in the series and I throughly enjoyed it.
Everything about the silver ships is there, Alex, aliens who want to get along but just need someone to say it's OK, negotiations, etc.
There isn't much to say about this book that hasnt been said about this series so far, the story and narrator for this book are both great and if you're a fan, you have to pick it up.
As the authors note said, I have started the spin off series and am enjoying it so far. I'm interested in seeing how they tie together.

A satisfying conclusion to the Artifact arc sees our protagonist and his crew wrestle with the complexity of victory. What struck me most, as our hero returned to past haunts, was the scale and scope of the universe Jucha has materialised. Slowly but surely he has led us on a journey,, the immensity of which is only truly appreciated when you pause at the mountain top to look back over your shoulder.
As Sojourn ended, I was left appreciating the stunning view, and excited for the remainder of the trek.

The aftermath of Artiface's defeat
The affect of the victory of the Omnians on the Federacy is related with emphasis on the defense and settling of Talos and the beginning of the settlement of a water world on the human side of the wall by a race from the Federacy.
I do love the way that the author, Mr. Jucha, allows his characters to use diplomacy to settle differences when at all possible. Very refreshing!!!

Another Gem
The Silver Ship series is amazing sci fi. It's smart, clever and has great character development. Sojourn is no different and really does an excellent job of wrapping up the Artifice story line. You feel good after reading a S.H. Jucha's story. Do yourself a favor and start this series immediately.

SUPERB
As usual S. H. Jucha has not disappointed me. I was in the middle of reading another book (in-game but interesting) when I saw the ad for another 'Silver Ship' novel, book 13, and I immediately knew that I had to have it. I've read each of the Silver Ship books and I hope that they continue for a long time. We are living in the age where we need an Alex Racine.

Removing Artifice leaves retribution
This book had a slow start focusing on Teague and Ginny exploring a water world. Writing quality wasn't the same as a little further in. Still the book had usual well thought out universe building. Looking forward to the merge with Pyreans series.

I love the positive themes and they are definitely well written otherwise many of us would not have gotten this far. As always I look forward to any book written by the author. Enjoy one and all.

Another great chapter
I eagerly await each new story in this universe. I have no idea where each one will lead Alex and the Omnians. With the addition of the Pyreans it will be an amazingly rich universe to explore.

Interesting an entertaining
Lots of books in this series building on each other. I like the characters and the situations are interesting and well drawn. Space, in the Silver Ships world, is full of amazing aliens, captivating worlds, and incredible beauty.

Absolutely Fantastic
This story of humans interaction with other sentient beings in Space is very entertaining series. Some Alien beings are good, some are bad...just like real life.

Another fine tale
I really enjoy how the author wrapped up the main Artifice storyline, while building the foundation of a larger series to grow. I see the beginning of a larger tale, much like the frontiers saga.

This felt like a prologue, which for some might feel slow, but for me it felt great. I always wonder "what happened after the big battle?" and this book covers it. I wish more series would get to this point.

Always interesting
These have been my favorite books for sometime now. The cast of characters is large and fun to follow. They tell multiple storylines that keep the story fresh.

Always a pleasure to read.
I could not stop reading till the end. Can't wait for the next book in the series. I will read it as feverishly as this one.

I still hope that the Silver Ships will be also made to a TV series
