I would like to encourage anyone looking for something interesting to read to head over to www.rightascension.com. Set in the year 3040, Right Ascension examines mankind’s place in the universe, how we ascended to that lofty position, and the horrifying price of that ascension. If you’re looking for a thought-provoking yet action-packed novel, please take a look. Excerpts, including Chapter 1, are posted on the site, and the full novel is available in both eBook and paperback formats.

Thanks for your time…
