Conservative writer releases political sci-fi novel, says readers will appreciate it's 'decidedly not woke'

Conservative commentator Scott Ruesterholz has taken on a new form of writing, one that's perhaps out of this world.

"I write conservative commentary because I have a vision of what I think can make the country and world a better place. Fiction can be a tool to expose readers to new ideas and shift perspectives while also entertaining," Ruesterholz told Fox News in an interview. "While my novel is not a pure political commentary, I do hope it elevates questions about the role of government, corporations, and integrity of institutions, which has also been a focus of my past commentaries." "The Invasion from Within," released on Tuesday by Permuted Press, tells the story of an alien who was sent to live undercover among the human race but years later will question who his allegiance belongs to as his home planet embarks on invading his adoptive planet.
