The Data Collectors Trilogy

"Shapeshifting aliens, endangered earthlings and a sci-fi adventure full of whimsy” -BookTrib

"A creative masterpiece. Danielle Palli takes us on an interplanetary journey of intrigue, conspiracy, and possibility." -Author, Dr. Roger Landry, MD, MPH

Lucene Jones has a secret. Except, even she doesn’t know what it is. Working as an assistant to the priestess Reverend Isabella in a small spiritual temple in Florida, and renting a room from her best friend, Fatima, her world is upended when a mysterious stranger shows up one late afternoon in the middle of a storm. Following his arrival, memories from her past, ones she had buried long ago, begin to resurface.

Meanwhile, news reports speculate that aliens might already be among us, collecting data on all areas of human life. Unknown to the general population, however, is that the Data Collectors are trying to determine what is causing Earth’s near extinction and save the human species. However, beings from neighboring planets would rather see humans die off sooner rather than later. After all, if they can preserve what natural resources we have left, Earth becomes prime intergalactic real estate.

The Data Collectors trilogy is a journey from Earth to earthlike worlds, where a battle between the Peace-Keepers, the destructive Royals and the opportunistic Vitruvians ensues. Lucence must join forces with some unlikely allies, such as Cepheus, a lizard-like Peace-Keeper with psychotic, traumatic-laden episodes, her well-meaning but hermit-like neighbor, Ivan (“the tinkerer”), and Tanager, a professor of TARA, an academy on planet Erde specializing in helping students develop empathic powers. This is a classic tale of good versus evil, with a political space opera twist filled with lots of gray area.
