Paperback. Inspired by the Issac Asimov 'I Robot' short science fiction stories Life as We Know it? (Part One First Stage) concerns a surface based robot (Roamer Five) that has been sent to the planet Mars on a mission to find diamonds gold, silver and other precious metals and subsequently following an avalanche suffers a form of electronic amnesia. After finding its way back to the return rocket it stows away on board and is brought back to Earth with the rock samples and the knowledge of all the mineral deposits still intact in its memory. It has forgotten that it had originated on Earth and thinks that it is a martian, (which it is). Roamer Five should have stayed on Mars as disposable space junk but here on Earth its knowledge is priceless to any business corporation that wants knowledge fifty years in advance for the colonization of Mars and the riches it beholds. Roamer escapes into the outside world which compared to Mars is a paradise for exploration awaiting him. Trillionaire space industrialist Walter Wyman and his son Zane hear of the security leak and offer a billion dollars for proof of the existence of an alien life form through their vast media empire in the hope of possessing it themselves. Whoever comes into contact with Roamer Five will be in grave danger as Walter has no intentions of keeping his promise while exposing his reclusive identity at the same time. Simon Standeven is a young man and a landscape gardener and whose clients houses are mysteriously invaded by a burglar with a fetish for jewellery only and who is using the latest high technology to bypass any household alarm. Panic envelopes the city of Boston but this is only part of a vast master plan in which Simon and his girlfriend Ally Kandle are involved in the most wicked conspiracy of all that Walter and Zane think is foolproof but have no concept of what their actions may have for the future of humankind and the planet Earth. The universe is a far stranger place than they can imagine and Simons guardian the brilliant and eccentric genius Mister Saturday has a theory of the universe that is completely outrageous and controversial. Start the adventure that is Life as we know it? (which concludes with part two Final Stage) and enter a universe in which nothing is what it seems and everyone gets more than they bargained for!
