Fewston has created a believable and authentic post-apocalyptic society with technological wonders and thought-provoking societal issues. The relevance of the themes to the state of the world today adds an extra wrinkle and makes the story even more compelling.” ~ Literary Titan “C.G. Fewston creates a story replete in social, political, philosophical and psychological depth and inspections that require slower reading in order to thoroughly absorb… No pat dystopian adventure, Conquergood & the Center of the Intelligible Mystery of Being is intellectually challenging and absorbing. It ideally will attract the thinking sci-fi reader who appreciates not just a futuristic setting, but the moral and ethical quandaries faced by a protagonist forced to move out of his initial perceptions of his place in life in order step into the shoes of the enemy… “This absorbing, engrossing story of genetic manipulation and a search for the ultimate human psyche will also ideally lend to classroom assignment and discussion for courses interested in philosophical and social dilemmas in sci-fi… “Not your usual dystopian saga, Conquergood & the Center of the Intelligible Mystery of Being is highly recommended for its bigger-picture presentation of redemption and relationships that grow from adversity and self-inspection. Its inspection of the foundations of reality and the future of humans is thought-provoking and thoroughly engaging as Conquergood moves towards not only his brother, but a different vision of a new human influenced by genetic and social manipulation.” ~ D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review “Set in the far-future, Fewston’s original and deeply engrossing SF tale finds a young man struggling to locate his missing twin brother. It is 2183. The post-apocalyptic world has changed: the mega-corporate and governmental entity, the Korporation, governs the law. Jerome Conquergood is homeless, roaming the abandoned and crumbling skyscrapers of Old York City when he is invited to join the Korporation… Jerome’s journey to self-realization, which is hard-won, reflecting, and intricate, takes the forefront. There’s palpable tension and intrigue as Jerome makes his moves and gains knowledge about both the Korporation and his identity… “The pace clips along nicely, and the small cast enjoys transecting character development arcs. Aside from Jerome’s ongoing story, Vincent’s storyline and the brothers’ family backstory add emotional stakes on top of the physical. The worldbuilding is authentic, and the intriguing theme, technological wonders, and spot-on relevance to present-day societal and ethical issues provide plenty of adrenaline. Fewston infuses the familiar genre tropes with raw urgency, keeping the reader guessing to the end. A must-read for morally serious readers of dystopia.” ~ BookView Review
