Alien Reasoning

Science Fiction: Above all, Alien Reasoning is an entertaining story about an Alien invasion of Earth, or is it simply an Alien Visit that will benefit humankind. Only time will tell. At face value, it is a story about Aliens, who are intellectually superior to humans, coming to earth. Their stated aim, to share knowledge. At a deeper level, it is a commentary on our systems of commerce, an exploration of the human psyche and a story that challenges our interpretations of the laws of physics, and suggests other possibilities for the reader to ponder. It is also a travel guide of sorts, as it expounds on the interesting tourist attractions in the general area of each of the places visited throughout the book. There are two main human characters in the story. The first is Bart, a wide-eyed physics enthusiast, who is totally enchanted by the newcomers and who has many meaningful discussions with them. The second is Augur, an intrepid news reporter, who questions everything. He is determined to understand the Aliens' true agenda, and to get to the bottom of their real reason for coming to Earth. Each character in the book and some fictitious place names, have been given a name, which is an English word that is not used in common speech. An included Glossary of Terms, at the very back of this book, in Appendix 4, provides the dictionary definition for each name; which is in each case indicative of the character of that person or place. For example, Australia's Prime Minister, those gender is never identified throughout the story, is named: Aegis, which means: Protector; Shield of Zeus.
