Gates of Ascension is a sci-fi stand alone novel being drafted in 2021. The oligarchy remains steadfast in it's rule of one religion (worshiping the aliens on the other side of the stargates), their policies becoming more extreme by the year. Those who choose to rebel flee past the Kuiper belt of their solar system to form an alliance and raid the shipping lanes until the opportunity to strike is presented by one of their spies. Follow the stories of a rebel pilot, a pilot of the oligarchy and an oracle priestess as they weave their way through the life and death politics and missions to reveal the true intentions of the oligarchy and those who rule from the shadows. Brainwashing, dog fights, blinding visions from Elder Gods through mysterious gates and much more await these three heroes.
