Brother of the Wire

By Steven Lockewood

Brother of the Wire

They took the Earth. We took it back-one wire, one ghost, one brother at a time.

Jace is a ranger, a survivor, and a man haunted by everything he's lost. The alien machines that conquered Earth don't sleep, don't bleed, and don't forget, but neither does he. With nothing left but his weapon, his grit, and his battle-scarred cat Chuck, Jace fights in the shadows for a Resistance that's barely holding on.

But when a fallen alien mask reveals a way into the enemy's neural network, hope flickers to life, and it comes with a price. Jace's younger brother Eli, a quiet genius with a gift for code and a mind unlike any other, volunteers for a mission no one expects him to survive. What begins as sabotage becomes something far stranger, as Eli unlocks not just the machines' secrets... but their fractured minds.

As the alien hive begins to tear itself apart, a single word echoes from orbit:
Parley.

But Jace knows war isn't over when the shooting stops, it's when you start asking who's really speaking through the wire... and whether your brother is still the one answering back.

Brother of the Wire lands with the emotional core of The Book of M and the cinematic scope of The Expanse, it's a story that explores memory, machine consciousness, and the bond between brothers in a world slowly forgetting what it means to be human.
