In his quest to seek the occult stone, which is also sought by his Father to push the planet into war, Sabienn Feel and his brothers venture to the disputed territories of Rotnadge-Minora in Deerland.
In order to find the next clue in this journey, Sabienn needs to seek a coffee mug with the words "The World's Greatest Dad". This mug is a solid lead for him as a reader.
But big men with influence have other plans. A powerful and mysterious General follows Sabienn's travel throughout the land under his military control. And his Father, the Grand Inquisitor Profound Murrlock Hyde, requires that Sabienn and his brothers must die on the fateful ground of Mount Farewell.
Their deaths are to be at the hands of two men who now call themselves the Hot Cold Coal and the Diamond; the two men who kill to be carbon. One man used to be one of Sabienn's best friends. The other man killed the woman Sabienn loved. Or did he?
The Two Men Who Kill To Be Carbon is the fourth of twelve books in the Sabienn Feel Adventures.
Interview with the Author
Q - What inspired you to write The Sabienn Feel Adventures?
A – I've always loved the idea of the epic journey. I'm acquainted with the book Journey to the West but was more familiar with the TV series in the 80's based on the book called Monkey. The idea of four souls travelling across a wide expanse of geography to complete a quest appealed to me. So I planned a series of twelve books to go from one place in the south of this space colony that they live on twice removed from Earth, to end up in the north, meeting danger at every turn.
Q – Why does your main character Sabienn Feel grow wings?
A - Good question. I wanted something very drastic to occur to these people physically. Something that would be difficult to hide and offer an immediate prejudice. The idea of growing wings constantly came up for me. There's a Pearl Jam song I found inspiring that says, "And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky. A human being that was given to fly".
And in my mind's eye, I could see this figure. Almost like the Led Zeppelin Icarus logo but with bat wings. But they couldn't fly otherwise they'd hit the sky and the journey would be over in no time. I made them only able to swim because being submerged in water has elements of dealing with the subconscious. To me it satisfies all elements of those prophecy, fantasy, epic adventure type of stories that involve friendship and brotherhood.
Q - So, why should readers give these books a try?
A – Well I would say they were humour-filled, page-turning, epic, fantasy adventure novels which involve a quest. But then that's what you would expect me to say. Why not try and read one of the books and let me know what you think?
