Critics Review
Ascendency is a triumph of a book. Emily Hamilton has easily secured her place as an auto-buy author for sci-fi fans. A stunning sapphic romance and passionate characters shine against the backdrop of Jupiter’s moons, manipulative governments, and headstrong rebellions. I’m already itching to get my hands on the sequel! Unputdownable from start to finish * Alexandra Kennington, author of THE MINOTAUR PROJECT *
Ascendancy is a dystopian ending to our age of mass information and a primal scream against surveillance, fundamentalism, and fascism. Hamilton has written a cyberpunk rock thrill ride about the last vestiges of humanity eking out survival among the moons of Jupiter - and those individuals willing to defy the oppressive regime that claims to keep them alive. This is a space opera perfect for fans of Pussy Riot and Some Desperate Glory * Yume Kitasei, author of Saltcrop *
