If you like well written, character driven, action packed, sci-fi adventure stories, I think you will enjoy “STG Ascendant”. This book takes you from modern day earth, to deep into space traveling among ships filled with highly developed species of aliens that feel familiar, yet other worldly at the same time. The authors’ use of guilds and factions feels almost medieval, yet so highly scientifically advanced, you are not sure if you are in deep space, or listening to highland clans bickering. The words used filled my mind with the most detailed images of technology and species that I felt like I was walking among them. The earthbound characters are some of the best that I have read in a long time. The interpersonal relationships are deep and well written, you really feel like you know these people. As the book progresses, you cannot help but feel that you are in the middle of all the action, and one of the characters yourself. I cannot wait to read the rest…..

From the very first chapter, this story pulled me in with its emotional depth and immersive sci- fi worldbuilding. As the narrative unfolded, it only became stronger delivering compelling character arcs, gripping tension, and an unforgettable cliffhanger that left me eager for Book 2. Even as someone who rarely reads science fiction, I found this story captivating, well thought- out, and exceptionally well written. I’m genuinely excited for the next installment in the series.

A great, fast-paced read. Clean writing and a compelling story made it hard to put down
