A Faint Fuzzy Danger
Reader feedback is my dopamine.
Glenn B. Harvey
When NASA scientists spot mysterious gamma-ray streaks across neighboring star systems, confusion quickly turns to alarm. No theory explains them, until a quiet Air Force liaison whispers one word: “Gettysburg.” From there, Glenn takes us into a world where the unknown could be harmless… ...or the end of humanity. Told through the eyes of humans and alien observers, this story explores how societies respond to possible extinction, how scientists struggle to decode alien tech from afar, and how perspective shapes truth.

Story behind the series
At its core, this book is about perspective. Glenn wanted to explore how different beings, human or alien, can witness the same event and walk away with entirely different interpretations. In a world where misunderstanding can spark conflict, that’s a powerful theme.
His aliens don’t think like humans, they think well, but differently. A challenge inspired by sci-fi icon C. J. Cherryh's advice.
Creative journey
This story didn’t just span worlds; it spanned life chapters. It evolved from a father-son project into a legacy Glenn kept alive through grief, retirement, reflection, and rediscovery.
He didn't stop at one book. He kept going, now there are:
📚 5 books in the Faint Fuzzy series
📚 4 books in the Alone series
📚 2 books in the Parade series
That’s what happens when passion and purpose meet persistence.
About the Glenn
Glenn B. Harvey has worn a lot of hats, economist, environmental engineer, and a decades-long expert in municipal water and wastewater systems. But if you ask him where his heart truly lives? The stars.
His love for astronomy started at eight years old with a tiny Edmund Scientific Moonscope. One telescope led to another, and eventually to astrophotography, capturing the deep-space wonders most of us only see in documentaries.
So yes, he’s a scientist by training. But he’s also a storyteller shaped by curiosity, starlight, and the timeless question: what else is out there?
What Inspires Glenn To Write
This story began as a shared project with Glenn’s father after his mother passed away. Glenn wrote chapters, brought them to his dad, and together they'd brainstorm where to take the adventure next.
When his father passed during Chapter 5, Glenn put the manuscript away. Years later, in retirement, he returned to finish it, knowing his father would have wanted the story told. Today, it’s grown into a full series across multiple interconnected worlds.
What readers will take away
Expect to question how you react to the unknown, and why others may react differently. In a world full of clashing opinions, Glenn nudges us to pause, listen, and try to understand another perspective.
You might even find a character who responds to crisis exactly the way you would.
Looking ahead
Glenn continues writing and expanding his universe, pushing deeper into what first attracted him to sci-fi — the mystery, the science, and the humanity hidden in alien minds.
Fun personal touch
Fun fact: After buying his first book cover, Glenn realized he could design them himself, using his own astrophotography of deep-space objects. Now his stories don’t just explore the cosmos…
they wear it.
