It consistently keeps the reader invested in the different plot lines while not letting any fall to the side. The strength of this book is the prose and pace of the writing style. There are a lot of people that will connect with this book and find it a pleasant surprise. The characters are well written, using the setting of space in a familiar yet unique way to bring them to life. I immediately connected with the character of Rohan, from the prologue that feels like it would have a place in any Marvel comic, to the first few chapters where you are officially introduced to the Hybrid character.
Wistful Ascending blew me away! It is a well written story that moves along at a great pace.
The open question is whether tapping into his savage alien powers will end up destroying the peaceful life he has been trying to build. To keep his friends safe, and himself in one piece, Rohan has to face giant insects, body-skipping assassins, vengeful armored aliens, an inquisition of intelligent bears, and a team of his fellow hybrids. The appearance of the refugees sets off a chain of events that will force Rohan to confront his checkered past and cast doubt on whether he can ever leave behind his violent warrior heritage. Then a long dormant wormhole in Wistful’s system is opened by a ship full of refugees, drawing unwanted attention from the Empire. With a steady job, someone far out of his league to date, and the most cosmopolitan selection of fine dining in the sector, things are looking up. At thirty-two, exhausted by ten years of ruthless warfare, he retired to Wistful, a vast sentient independent space station, to try to live a normal life. At twenty-two he left his home to fight for the his father’s people, expanding the il’Drach Empire and protecting it from local and interdimensional threats. By sixteen he was an active superhero, using his inherited powers to fight crime, in mask and spandex. The il’Drach Empire spans half a galaxy, built on the feet and fists of their Powered hybrid children.Īt eight Rohan of Earth learned that he was only half human. Like Dragonball Z but wish it had a little more hard science fiction in it? For fans of Guardians of the Galaxy or Invincible.
