    About this ebook

    Book One:

    We are the aliens! They are our future - the grays, the reptilians and the little men in flying saucers. We didn't actually evolve into these manifestations - we created them or more exactly we engineered them out of necessity.

    The novel "Brothers By Numbers" is more than just a science fiction novel. It's also a novel of ideas. It's style harkens back to more traditional models of science fiction writing of the mid twentieth century and it's a real 'boys' story' concerning a young soldier, five hundred years into the future, who finds his humanity by learning to care for others and as a result his soldiering convictions appear to suffer. Told in a compelling first person voice - at first naïve and enthusiastic and then as the realities of wartime build, wiser and more mature as he discovers how fragile and more dear life becomes as one gains more experience.

    All of this is set in a future society that is quite frankly only moderately more dystopian in comparison to that of today's. In the future, - we will know no more about the meaning of life than we do now. Our lives just as they are today will still be governed by fate and to a lesser degree by our personal relationships and not much else. But, - what of our planet and where and how might me we live?
    Well, in the tradition of other great novels of ideas "Brothers By Numbers" will help us explore that - we need only our imagination and our will to dream.

    S J Garrett

    S J Garrett hails from Canada. He's never been much of an academic. He's been a steel worker, an industrial electrician and more recently a warehouse employee for a famous Swedish furniture retailer. However, writing has been a personal passion of his for some time and it first emerged when he was just ten years old. His favourite literary disciplines are poetry and fiction writing. Presently, he has five published e-novels of recent vintage and poetry that dates back to his analog days.He does like to write his biographical information in the third person but he mostly prefers to write his creative narratives in the first person because he finds that method not just more challenging but also because it is 'truer' to his poetic roots; the inner monologues that he expressed in verse simply evolved into the dialog of a first person narrator. He also thinks it adds a serious measure of verisimilitude to the oeuvre in general. Two of his e-novels are general fiction and the other three are best described as hard Sci-Fi.
