Best-selling British master of science fiction Adrian Tchaikovsky brings listeners a new, mind-expanding science fantasia in The Expert System's Brother.

After an unfortunate accident, Handry is forced to wander a world he doesn't understand, searching for meaning. He soon discovers that the life he thought he knew is far stranger than he could even possibly imagine.

Can an unlikely savior provide the answers to the questions he barely comprehends?

barely able to listen to this boring narrator. I had to listen several times to understand what was going on.

monotone narrator

I really enjoyed this one. It is short - only about 4 hours. Hopefully there are more to come.

Short and sweet - and very good!

Intricate storyline that keeps you changing your mind. The intonation of the voice performer for the lead character was a bit weird. Did not take away from the story though.

I approached this book cautiously. This is the third book I've read by Tchaikovsky— the others being Children of Time, and Children of Ruin— but the first outside the Children universe. At 4 hours long, it seemed rather short by comparison. Still, the author is masterful and I couldn't resist.

The Expert System's Brother asks you to shift your perspective from the very beginning and try to envision a world wholly different from our own, and primitive, yet peppered with enough signs of humanity's zenith that a vague sense of dread constantly tugs at the bag of your neck: what happened the the familiar human race?

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys epic adventures, Sci-Fi or otherwise. The grandeur of the world and the epic story behind its tenuous balance are enthralling. The author's perspective on belonging, purpose, knowledge and inheritance are unique, and add up to another great work from a master of science fiction.

Unexpected brevity, told with gravitas

At first I was confused. Were these creatures human or not. It took a while and some perseverance to get to a ripping good yarn.

Thought provoking

Accidental outcast slowly learns the world he lives on is not his own. What his culture views as exile is in reality a horrific death sentence. I was never entirely sure they realize that. The main character is a teen, and the combination of his inexperience and the level of cultivated ignorance in this static society is that left me waiting a long time to see if or when he would find out what we quickly deduce. I was afraid the story wouldn't get quite far enough, but it doesn't do that.

Good tale, Wish it hadn't been a Volume 1

Adrian Tchaikovsky’s novella, The Expert System’s Brother is a short tale of a post collapse world. People live in small villages connected to each other in an unclear manner with a designated sham-an/medicine man type who interfaces with what appears to be an AI system. One young boy is ‘severed’ from the group and must wander. He soon discovers much more in the world than he imagined as well as a group who are attempting to rediscover the lost science and engineering.

Tchaikovsky offers a few creative elements to an otherwise well-worn sci-fi theme. There just didn’t seem to be enough for a fully fleshed novel. Narration is good with decent character distinction. Pacing is smooth.

After reading Tchaikovsky’s children of time trilogy, I am draw to his other books. I find it awesome that the author can fit this standalone story into the Children of Time universe and hint at it subtle ways that only readers of his other work will notice. Tchaikovsky also does this with Elder Race, which is a great read as well.

The performance of the narrator was a little off putting at first, as it sounded as though I was listening to a children’s book, but I grew accustomed to it quickly and did not detract from the overall experience.

An expansion to the children of time universe?

Mr TChaikovsky just keeps coming up with new stories. There were shades of Koli by MR Carey but only shades. Still original. I got used to the narrator.

Still AT

This book was very unique in the sci-fi world. I listen to a lot of sci-fi and I thought this book was great. Narration was great, I was immersed in the story and fascinated the whole time. I highly recommend it.

This is excellent sci-fi.
