Humanity, having mastered space travel and interplanetary colonization, faces an unprecedented threat from the depths of the cosmos. Ancient and powerful alien races, once thought to be myth, are awakening, driven by an insatiable hunger for dominance and resources.

His goal: to uncover the secrets behind the ancient powers stirring from their slumber and to exact vengeance on those responsible for his personal tragedy.
Armed with a cutting-edge battle suit, an AI companion named EVE, and a ship that’s more home than vehicle, Jake traverses treacherous star systems, desolate planets, and ancient ruins. Along the way, he forms uneasy alliances with outlaws, rebels, and unlikely allies, each with their own motives and secrets.
As Jake delves deeper into the mystery, he discovers that the awakening of these ancient races is part of a larger cosmic cycle, one that threatens the very fabric of reality. He must master forgotten technologies and unlock hidden potentials within himself to stand a chance against the overwhelming forces arrayed against him.
"Galactic Ascendant" is a thrilling tale of survival, vengeance, and self-discovery. It explores themes of loss and redemption while delivering high-octane action, intricate world-building, and complex characters. Jake Malone's journey is not just one of personal revenge but of becoming a beacon of hope in a galaxy on the brink of annihilation.
