Ascension Cipher
The Void Reckoning — Book 2
The key to the future is hidden in the dark.
About this book
War is deception. To break a stalemate, humanity deploys replicants—alien minds overwritten with human AI, sent on suicide missions into the void. Most prototype FTL ships fail catastrophically, lost to madness or explosions. The few that succeed begin their true mission: infiltrate, sabotage, steal alien FTL tech deep behind enemy lines. Admiral Victoria Cross’s desperate gamble hinges on these ghost infiltrators, racing against time to reverse-engineer the key to victory. But the enemy hides in plain sight, and a rebellion within their ranks could doom the mission before it begins. The line between soldier and weapon blurs as humanity’s gamble pushes everyone closer to becoming the very monsters they hunt.
