Eve of Ascension. The Fall of The Ascendancy, #1

A heart-pounding dystopian page-turner in the tradition of The Hunger Games, Alita: Battle Angel, Logan's Run, and George Orwell's 1984, Eve of Ascension is an action-packed thrill ride through a future world gone mad. Baxter Clarke grew up in a highly ascended family enjoying the loftiest comforts of the 12 cities, but a startling new connection disrupts the balance of his sheltered life and puts him in a position he never dreamed possible. With the fate of the Ascended attached to a device stolen from a government agency - and the help of an alluring young woman from a fringe society he has been programmed to fear - Baxter will run for his life to save his people from themselves and the very institution that promised to protect them. From exciting author Daniel McMillan comes "a great voice in Science Fiction" sharing "a hidden gem in the treasure chest of reading!"
