We sometimes think of science fiction and fantasy as being like estranged relatives who are connected but never associate with each other. This despite such things as Madeleine L’Engle’s classic novel A Wrinkle In Time, the Star Wars saga, and the Destiny games, all which melds elements of both seamlessly.
It is to that list that we can now add The Expert System’s Brother (paperback, Kindle), a new sci-fi fantasia novella by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
