alt.human (aka Harmony)

by Keith Brooke

Overview

The aliens are here, all around us. They always have been. And now, one by one, they're destroying our cities. Dodge Mercer deals in identities, which is fine until the day he deals the wrong identity and clan war breaks out. Hope Burren has no identity, and no past, struggling with a relentless choir of voices filling her head. In a world where nothing is as it seems, where humans are segregated and aliens can sing realities and tear worlds apart, Dodge and Hope lead a ragged band of survivors in a search for the rumoured sanctuary of Harmony, and what may be the only hope for humankind.

Editorial Reviews

'alt.human is a startlingly new take on the theme of an Earth under alien occupation, and Brooke's vivid, high-definition prose makes us see it all with magnificent clarity.' Alastair Reynolds 'A brilliant dissection of how individuals and society will change when freed from material bounds. The Accord is Brooke's best novel to date.' The Guardian on The Accord 'Keith Brooke's prose achieves a rare honesty and clarity; his characters are always real people, his situations intriguing and often moving.' Jeff VanderMeer
