Sci-Fi does not have to be hard-core steel and technology, galaxies and unknown species with intelligence that far supercedes that of humans. 'Lest We Forget' is a futuristic story that holds appeal in its lighter touch of memory chip implants, belief in a cause and consequence of harmless actions as simple as erasing one's own painful memories. Morgan and Corey are inseparable friends. They share a lifetime of wonderful memories that stretch way beyond strolling in the woods or being bulwarks for each other. Strain grows as Morgan starts deleting memories he no longer wants to keep. The story climaxes in a final test of true friendship. This was my first Kirtley, and it drew me to explore his further works: 'The Black Bird,' 'The Disciple' and 'Seeds-for-Brains.' One does not have to be an irreversible science fiction fan to enjoy 'Lest We Forget.' Those who enjoy this eBook will also enjoy George R. R. Martin's 'The Lonely Songs of Laren Dorr,' a fantasy tale so beautifully written. -Eugen Bacon, Fictionwise Recommender

Corey had always been there, and she had always been strong. When Morgan's parents got divorced, she had been there. When he went into regenerative nerve surgery after falling from a tree, she had been there. She was always willing to help, because she was Corey, and nothing ever bothered her for long.

Morgan approached her house. As always, he crawled over the banister and rang the doorbell. Corey's freckled face appeared behind the window. She opened the door and said nervously, "Hi."

"Hi." Morgan stuck his hands in his pockets. "Do you mind if I come in?"

Corey frowned a moment, then opened the door wider.

Morgan entered the large quiet house. His feet shuffled against the hardwood floor. "Are your parents home?"

"They're in Switzerland, all week." She glanced back at him over her shoulder as she closed the door. "Are you still mad about what happened last time?"
