About the author

Henry Sipes became interested in space as a kid using money saved from cucumber sales to fly Estes rockets. Carl Sagan’s TV series Cosmos fueled his interest in astronomy and science. After graduating from high school, he went on to receive a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the School of Interdisciplinary Engineering at Purdue University. He completed course work in areas of spacecraft design, geology, and astronomy.
Henry continued to feed his passion for space by building telescopes and small observatories. He has conducted many private and public astronomy programs for the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and other groups since 1990. In 2006, he was honored to accept a volunteer park astronomer position at the Otter Creek Park Observatory near Fort Knox. For his volunteer work, he received the commission of Kentucky Colonel.
For close to 10 years, Henry volunteered for the Jefferson Community and Technical College and Harrison County Parks and Recreation Department as park astronomer for South Harrison Park, Indiana. He also served his community as a NASA Solar System Ambassador. During this time he completed a Master of Science in Astronomy from Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.
Henry has worked the last 23 years as a packaging engineer for a privately held, $800 million global manufacturer of a broad line of electronic interconnect solutions, including IC-to-Board and IC Packaging, High-Speed Board-to-Board, High-Speed Cables, Mid-Board and Panel Optics, Flexible Stacking, and Micro/Rugged components and cables. Many of these products are used in the aerospace industry.
He lives with his wife and family on a 25-acre tree farm raising chickens and honey bees in his spare time. Along with the chickens and bees, his family has three dogs and two cats and all the wildlife the great outdoors can offer. Henry enjoys hiking and has backpacked numerous trails around Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and North Carolina culminating in a four-day trip through the Grand Canyon.
NUERA1 is his first novel weaving together space, religion, and fantasy into a real page-turner.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2025With multiple story angles, this worked out like you’re watching any space station movie or series. A loaded suspense thriller, it’s a good blend of personal interactions, exploration and adventure for a sci-fi novel. if you like suspense, scifis, and thrillers, you should check this out.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024I just read and totally enjoyed “The Babylonian Chronicles” by Henry Sipes. This story told several smaller stories that captured my attention chapter by chapter. I could not put the book down and read the book one evening well past my bedtime. I needed to know if Salaam Rahal survived. If survived, did he learn the mystery of the Babylonian lines.
I was riveted by Sara Lafeete the base engineer. Her grit and determination to survive the perilous situation in the lava tubes held my attention. Her relationship with Calager McGeen seemed to be doomed from the start but this couple’s loves proved to be stronger than metal.
Every team needs a leader with instincts, strength and know-how like Calager McGeen. From his mentorship and example, I could see how Shaahida was able to find her strength to lead her platoon and how Joaquin Gonzales was able to demonstrate the greatest of courage in the face of extreme danger.
This book tells what has to be the start of an even bigger story. Will we read more about the Admiral? If you are ready to read an edge of your seat adventure, read this book by Henry Sipes. I know I'm ready for the next story.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 20253.5 stars rounded up.
I think I'm most interested in what is going to happen after this book. What will they do with their discoveries on Psyche? What's going on back on Earth? The book itself was good, but I feel like I need more of an intro to the post-apocalyptic world here, maybe the beginning of settling on Psyche, possibly even earlier to fully connect with these characters.
