The Prince with One Hundred Brothers Jesse Sterling Harrison

The Prince with One Hundred Brothers is a science fiction adventure that draws on the works of Theodore Sturgeon, Gene Wolfe and Stephen King. It is also a story of redemption, friendship and love, and a treatise on leadership.

 A nameless man wakes up stricken with amnesia in a ruined city. He must find a way to survive, and unravel the history of his city and himself. Nearby, Laura is a young woman coming of age in a fortified commune. Her restless intellect will not allow her to accept the worldview of her elders. She embodies the future of her settlement, but yearns only to escape. Together these two will travel a smashed America, facing danger from people and the land itself. To the East is a city of learning, ruled by the mysterious Prince. But is he a prophet or a tyrant?

This book asks timeless questions about growing up, finding one's place in society, and seeking spiritual connection. It imagines how people living in primitive conditions might approach these questions without the benefit of education. It also conceives a richly-imagined world in which the consequences of First Contact are stranger and more inexplicable than ever before. Mostly, The Prince with One Hundred Brothers is a page-turning adventure with unforgettable characters and a blockbuster ending.
