I'm intrigued by the story of the woman preserved for hundreds of years away from the ravaging time and human wars. The re-building and healing from the great war and annihilation is very much Worthy of note. Great book it possesses elements that captivates.

Thank you for a detailed review and the keenness about misspellings,punctuation and grammatical errors.You have also recommended that the book goes through another editing process for better understanding.I love the quote you have used:the earth cannot change for the better unless the consciousness of individuals is changed first.A good read that upholds the themes of ethics,compassion and societal rebirth. I recommend that any book lover should read this.Congratulations for being a BOTD.

Today's BOTD is a science fiction novel that follows Sydney's journey in a world guided by ethics, 300+ years post-conflagration...a world much different than the one she remembers. Readers who enjoy dystopia and post-apocolyptic fiction will definitely want to download this one today. I grabbed my copy! Thanks so much for the helpful review! :-)

Thank you for your informative review. I like how the author explores value, compassion, and ethics in a post-apocalyptic world through this book. Sydney's character is interesting. I'm rooting for her development. The premise is unique and thought-provoking. This book is worth a try.

Life after cryogenics, a topic shrouded in uncertainty and debate, has piqued the interest of scientists. They are delving into this science, hoping to unravel its mysteries. Who knows what the future holds? In "The Conflagration" by B. Sabonis-Chafee, we witness the resuscitation of a cryopreserved woman, Sydney, in a post-apocalyptic world. Her survival is uncertain, but we can't help but wonder about the possibilities. Thanks for an engaging review.

Definitely not my cup of tea, mostly because for me all things about cryogenic are ethically unacceptable. Tell me all you want, but I firmly believe that people from the past have no place in the future and therefore prefer to skip this book. Congratulations with BOTD, anyway!

Post by Jessica Woods 3 »

Nice review. This book makes me wonder if we, the human race, can really change as a people. After the 3rd World War, the world’s population is attempting to do just that. Sydney will wake up to a world she has never known. Sometimes I think we cannot change as a people. History shows us that we still have wars. Most are not for a justified cause but greed, which I is human. I am interested to know if the characters of this book are able to fight against that.

'Official Review: The Conflagration' by B. Sabonis-Chafee highlights the invaluable premise of the book. It sheds light on the unique aspects of science fiction. This compelling tale is about correcting physiological disorders in a cryonically preserved woman three hundred years after the conflagration era. It includes serious content about history and global death. The theme of this book revolves around values, compassion, and ethics. It was nice to learn that the characters' personal lives were involved in the story!

This is a captivating story that tells how the Earth begins to rebuild itself after the annihilation that occurred after the Third World War. It contains serious themes and interesting characters, but a slow development. #BOTD

It won't be a complete sci-fi if there isn't a human popsicle that thaws thousands of years later. Sydney is a fish out of water here. What does she do to adjust?
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:

Thank you for your informative review. I'm not usually fond of sci-fi or apocalyptic books, but when they seem to relate to the present time in ways, it piques my curiosity. I want to know more about Sydney and the new world. It would be nice if another round of editing were done. I've added it to my list of books to read.

Three hundred years after the conflagration era, the resuscitation of a cryonically preserved woman is a gripping story. The book's theme centers on ethics, compassion, and values. Following the worldwide destruction of World War III, the earth's remnants band together and start to rebuild. This a great Review!

"The Conflagration" takes culture shock to the next level, with Sydney reappearing three centuries later. I do hope, though, that we as a society reach a peace agreement and a new level of consciousness. Thank you for your review.

I haven't even read this book yet and I'm already in love with it. The future possible history of the aftermath of WW III is really intruging. The quote "The earth cannot change for the better unless the consciousness of individuals is changed first" may capture future morality.
