Sing in Japanese

Brothers of the Snake is the first book in the mythopoeia Braneworld trilogy and features two sides of an ancient secret society, who, whilst escaping from the "Harvest of the Gods", battle it out for the high ground of space. Their conflict is driven by a "dark" Vast Alien Intelligent System. The "Hand" in their race against time and the "Hood" develop three fantastic inventions: Centurion, a DNA-based Quantum AI, the Shems, an ultra hi-tech nano-suit, and a Swarm of Stellae Maris. The dominant Hood - who control the industrial-military complex on earth - and their cyborgs build a Space station, a Space fleet and bases on Mars and the Moon in their bid to flee the Harvest.
A strong background in the arts and sciences allows the author to paint a credible picture of an exotic and tormented future. Strong characters, intriguing plots, romance with high-stakes adventures unfold around the world in Cape Town, Chicago, Florence, and continue into outer space. Dibden brings a complex, hair-raising plot that involves quantum AIs, interstellar stargates and powerful aliens to a pivotal edge.
