Explain M-Theory?

Question

I really enjoyed reading wikipedia's articles on M-Theory. Now I want to understand a little more about how the p-branes operate, for example, what happens when p-branes collide? Do p-branes exert forces on other p-branes from a distance, or do they have to collide in order to change their movement? Are there any good internet resources I should look at?
