Garry's debut novel, Corr Syl the Warrior, tells the story of an adventure that takes place on an Earth on which intelligence evolved long before humans appeared.

CORR SYL FIRST REVIEWS
Recipient of the Kirkus Star "awarded to books of exceptional merit."—"A beautifully written YA novel that will captivate environmentalists and sci-fi fans of all ages."  Kirkus reviews (starred review).

"I found it refreshing, extremely unique with funny, laugh-out-loud moments, too.  It's targeted at YA, but anybody who enjoys hard fantasy will like this book."  Louise Wise at http://louisewise.com.  

"An original story, great concept, I want more!  Rogers has developed an alternative Earth, where we are the invasive species! bAn orginal approach to force the reader to evaluate how interconnected we are with everything alive on this planet. Excellent presentation of the politics of conflict and a thorough understanding how even amongst like species there can be political agendas. The book should be titled 'Corr Syl the Negotiator and Strategist, Scientist, and Warrior'. I read it in one sitting - I like that, when a book grabs hold of me, makes me think and makes me want more."  Amazon review by Kristine Uhlman.
