The Fenwold Inheritance is a science fiction novel, written in the style of writers such as John Wyndham and John Christopher. Whilst the story is intended to stand on its own, it may also be read as a sequel to The Fenwold Riddle, published by Fireship Press in 2012 under its Cortero Publishing imprint. Enclosed for eight hundred years behind an impenetrable wall, the citizens of Fenwold finally have a passage through to the world outside. And who better to oversee the settlement of the New Territories than the marshal who discovered the exit by cracking the code of the Fenwold Riddle? Leaving behind famine and unrest in Fenwold, with the technology bequeathed by their ancestors, the hard-working settlers believe they can now look forward to a better future. Twenty years on, all appears to be going to plan. Governor Dominic Bradley continues to direct the growth of the new city and its surrounding farmlands, by carefully exploiting the precious resources left behind by the Ancient Ones. But how can the settlers know that their optimism is misplaced, and that a force beyond their reckoning is about to thwart their efforts and threaten to deprive them of their newly found way of life? And as Fenwold's most highly acclaimed son and saviour, how will Dominic Bradley come to terms with the ignominy of defeat against a superior power, and the attendant shame of capitulation?

An impenetrable wall encloses the land of Fenwold, its origins shrouded in the mists of time. Those who live in its shadow sweat out a meagre living from the land, but marauding raiders attack their villages and steal their livelihood. Brave young Council Marshal Dominic Bradley comes into close contact with the mysterious Wall in his struggle to combat the outlaw bands. Bradley has been charged with the task of finding a way through the Wall to a new land that lies on its far side. He hopes not only to uncover his people's heritage, but also to deliver them to their destiny. How or where to begin, he has no idea - until he hears an old woman recite a strange and compelling riddle... "A fast, enthralling read with a mystery that keeps you guessing to the very end." - Jacey Bedford, Science Fiction Author "What does the future hold? What's beyond the technological end-game? Through vivid prose and imagination the author sets the hero on a search ... to give new hope to civilisation." - Paul Sutherland, Multi-Published Author and Editor
