Another World,
A Different Life
Review of a new
Science Fiction novel
Written by
Andrew W. Cox
What is Science Fiction?
[Edited] Definition from Wikipedia.
Science fiction is a genre of fiction dealing
with imaginative content such as futuristic
settings, futuristic science and technology,
space travel, time travel, faster than light
travel, parallel universes and extraterrestrial
life.
It usually eschews the supernatural, and
unlike the related genre of fantasy, its
imaginary elements are largely plausible
within the scientifically established context
of the story.
Science fiction often explores the potential
consequences of scientific and other
innovations, and has been called a
“literature of ideas”.
A futuristic setting is a common but not a
necessary hallmark of science fiction.
A common thread in science fiction is
exploring the potential consequences of
scientific and other innovations on people's
lives.
Another World,
A Different Life
Key themes from the story
The Author
Andrew W. Cox was born and initially
educated in Nottinghamshire, United
Kingdom.
He subsequently obtained BSc and MSc
degrees from London University, and later a
PhD from the University of Newcastle upon
Tyne.
Andrew currently lives in Newcastle upon
Tyne, UK. He runs his own business
“Energy Intelligence & Marketing Research”.
The business specialises in freelance
writing work (energy, environmental and
business issues); consultancy projects;
event production; plus lecturing/training on
energy and environmental topics (mainly in
South East Asia).
This novel is the author’s first major foray
into Sci-Fi writing
The Story
The story in this novel centres around the
two main characters: Anthony Clarke, a
science and technology writer from the
United Kingdom & Jay Weaver, a former
US Marine.
Anthony and Jay meet in a central London
bar and decide to spend the weekend
together.
But they are both abducted from Anthony’s
London apartment by Alien “Researchers” –
who modify their bodies and then transport
them both to another planet in a distant part
of the galaxy.
The two guys soon discover they are part of
a vast, long-term experiment being
conducted by the Aliens.
The (fictional) story explores how two men
from an advanced, technological and
materialistic culture in the 21st Century
could survive in a primitive society on
another planet.
How they survive and interact with the
local inhabitants is one of the central
themes of the story.
The central themes of this story
are:
• Relationships
• Materialism
• Genetic Manipulation
• Alien Abduction

2015
On Earth we currently carry out millions of
experiments every year on laboratory
animals – such as these rodents.
We can’t ask their permission when we
carry out the experiments. Only ethical
and legal guidelines provide some control
over what can be carried out in these
experiments.
What if an advanced alien species were to
carry out genetic and other sophisticated
experiments on humans – such as the two
individuals shown below?

Please note that this is a work of
fiction.
The names, characters, places and
incidents either are the product of the
author’s imagination or are used fictitiously,
and any resemblance to actual persons,
living or dead, business establishments,
events or locations is entirely coincidental.
