After centuries of unchallenged expansion into the near reaches of the galaxy, we thought we had conquered space. We thought we were alone. We were wrong.
The Swarm took us by surprise, decimating our space fleet, our colonies, and our cities. They stripped away our sense of sovereignty. That's not all they took.
There were thirty-six of us to start. This is the story of our abduction and our struggle to survive among the stars. It is the tale of an unlikely hero who will one day bring us all back home.

Ascendance: It's the height of summer in the year 2575, when the attack commences in the remote reaches of the solar system. The massive battleships of the Integrated Defense Force with their fleets of swift and agile fighters are put immediately to the test. But there is little they can do in the face of the invaders' superior firepower. The aliens penetrate our defenses and soon reach Earth.
Cities begin to fall. The war strands a hundred young campers in the Utah high country, raining death and destruction from the heavens above and shattering all hope of rescue. Abandoned, lost, and isolated, the survivors must put aside past animosities and band together to survive the attack and hopefully make it back home again... if there is even a home to go back to. But as darkness falls and the sounds of war fade away, only then does their ordeal truly begin. Part Lord of the Flies, part Ender's Game, Ascendance chronicles the start of a lifelong journey by a group of young social outcasts, including a troubled teenager on the brink of manhood. |
