The planet Celsius_15 is much like Earth - if Earth were frozen in the Victorian era, awash only in black, white, and grey. In the remote city of Francium, life trudges along until a peculiar stranger, Sam Shei, arrives. Known simply as 'The Fool', Sam seems harmless enough - until small miracles begin to happen wherever he goes, and flashes of forbidden colour flicker into existence.

Peter Mason, an average repairman, and Jan Rubens, a feisty sandwich shop owner, find themselves caught in a surreal adventure, grappling with questions of belief, change, and the true nature of reality. As their once-dull world starts to crack open, so too does the comfortable complacency of the city's corrupt leaders, hardened cynics, and fearful citizens.

With razor-sharp wit and heartfelt charm, The Fool explores a society that has forgotten how to hope - and the chaotic beauty that ensues when hope starts to sneak back in. Satirical, poignant, and laugh-out-loud funny, Martin Fairweather's novel invites readers to consider: can seeing the world in a new way be dangerous? Or is it the only way to truly live?
