This short novella (56-pages) is a prologue to the Ascending Carbon Series: (1 First Ascent, 2 Second Ascent, 3 Third Ascent). It's a stand-alone story that introduces the characters and tells the origin story that will continue throughout the series. Enjoy!
It’s 2035, and TV reporter Sahalie Spark works the science and technology angle on assignments that take her around the planet. She could be interviewing elite Olympic athletes about their training regime one day and unveiling miraculous new technology the next. Her sense tells her that a complex world filled with misinformation demands a sleuth who can sort reality from fiction. But the job isn’t limited to scientific education. There’s deadly trouble brewing overhead, and Sahalie has precisely the credentials and the steady voice required by an increasingly uneasy public.
Do you like fun, science-based fiction like The Martian? Want the page-turning pace of Da Vinci Code? Tired of dystopian and ready for a story of discovery and inspiration? Then, you'll love the Ascending Carbon Series.
