About this ebook

Once again, the rivalry between Apollo of Helios and his twin brother, Ares is spinning around Alex Clark. This time, the game turns deadly. Apollo has run afoul of the law on Uor, and Ares must capture or kill him in order to preserve the family’s wealth and power.
The conflict could have apocalyptic consequences on Earth as Ares tries to draw his brother from hiding. Each of the brothers controls a “Gardener”, powerful quantum devices that have walked the Earth in human form for over fifty thousand years. These machines can command any computer on Earth, including nuclear weapons systems. Ares has aligned himself with a secretive paramilitary group with plans to depopulate the Earth and remake it in the image of Uor. Apollo and Alex must stop them.

Author

Fred McKibben

Fred McKibben is the author of the highly acclaimed Gardeners trilogy, Hot Times in the Garden of Eden, The Salt Castle, and The Carnival Road. The series has been described as suspense with strong elements of science fiction, politics, history, anthropology and romance. The allegorical story is particularly relevant in the current political environment where the rise of strongman rulers portends losses of individual freedom, knowledge growth, and creativity. The full series is also available as a compilation titled Seven Deadly Sinners.In addition to the Gardeners trilogy, Fred has written The Shadow of Death (2016) and Sweet Dreams (2017). Both are murder mysteries featuring Eddie Rose, a semi-retired insurance investigator.Fred lives in Southern Spain with his wife and two dogs. After many years as a finance executive and entrepreneur, he decided to try his hand at writing fiction. A More Perfect Union (expected release in 2019) will be the first of planned series of historical romance novels set in the early United States.
