"I got so into A Dream of Waking Life that I dreamed about it, which was so trippy, considering what this book is about. I’ve read my fair share of dream books, and none have captured me as much as A Dream of Waking Life. Every character plays a huge"

Hunter's Dirge: A Grimdark Scifi Epic (The Collected Histories of Neoevolution Earth #3):
"This entry into the Neoevolution universe took an already incredible series and made it even bigger and bolder. Samuel's foray across Waru and the planetary storm and planetary organ was nothing short of thrilling. Again, Fein has an incredible knack"

Winter's Remains: A Grimdark Scifi Epic (The Collected Histories of Neoevolution Earth Book 2):
"Certainly a sequel that doesn't let us down! I greatly enjoyed the introduction of Aliana/Aurelia's perspectives and I was on the edge of my seat during their entire journey through the cave systems. Samuel, once a less intriguing character, is now b"

Mendel's Ladder (The Collected Histories of Neoevolution Earth #1):
"I just finished" Mendel's Ladder "by E. S. Fein and it was really something. This grimdark sci-fi epic is a masterclass in storytelling, world-building, and character development. From the opening chapter, I was hooked by the author's vivid descripti"

“This is the way of humanity. It has always been this way. A cycle of golden age, recession, depression, revolution, expansion, and eventually another golden age before it all falls apart again. Ad infinitum.
In every human there is a want for more. A need for more. It is exactly that drive for more that allowed our species to crawl out of the primordial wilds. And it is exactly that want and need that drives me to ascension.
Were Astrea intended to last forever, it too would undergo the natural cycle of societal creation and destruction and would eventually fall to ruin, just as every human society of the past was eventually crippled and destroyed by humanity’s inherent failures.
But Astrea is a temporary refuge. A transient bastion that serves to buy me just enough time.
Time enough to break the cycle forever.”
― Mendel's Ladder

“Back to the original reality we left somehow?” Amero said, hoping Yang really would leave him in this moment. Every second spent wasted talking about the Points and the damn machines was time he could be lapping up sunlight. But Amero admitted to himself that it was worse than just a mere loss of time; talking about such matters felt like the grating of steel on steel repeatedly echoing in the unreachable depths of his mind.
“We never left the original reality, Amero. We changed it. We reshaped our reality like a potter heating and reshaping a previously completed clay vase. I go now to the world outside the clay vase...to the world of the very intentions which guide the potter’s hands.”
Amero thought of Dave suddenly. “Outside the universe?”

“I don't think there is inherent meaning to life but the one that you decide to make for yourself. In that sense, I have decided my meaning of life is to have a positive contribution to humanity, to be a good friend and partner and to try to become a better person over time.”
