The Reckoning

Darkness Acsending, Book 1
Dive into an riveting adventure with the first installment of The Reckoning, The first book of the Darkness Ascending series.

The dream to travel the stars was once thought to bring an age of peace and prosperity. In reality, it brought nothing more than hardship and war. After a century of conflict, an uneasy ceasefire has begun between the Federation and the Independent Alliance.
All Joe Prevost and his crew of mercenaries had to do was to perform a simple job. Instead, they get redirected to the Vega system only to find themselves in a fight for their lives. Against an enemy that was a creation of man’s design.
From within the void there is a darkness rising, a darkness that may cause the end of both the Federation and the Alliance.

Grabs you on the first page then pulls you along.

"I love a book that pulls me in and makes me feel like I am in its world. This book does just that. The writing talent of this author brings the story to life like watching a movie instead of reading. Looking forward to other works by Chris." - RTG

 Such an awesome book

I love this book! Wonderful, well-developed characters, fast-pacing, riveting story! I can hardly wait for the next book in the series.

Excellent sci-fi. I finished it too quickly.

This would make a good movie. The attention to detail is just right, not too heavy or too light. Can't wait for book 2.

loved this story

This is my first time reading this author. This is a thrilling story with action, suspense and mystery galore. It’s a very well written story with a lot of attention to detail which helps bring it to life. I loved this book and am eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Recommended for adults, who like sci-fi/action stories.

This is a really good book. A good book for adults that like sci-fi but do not care for a ton of the technical scientific vocabulary. It has suspense; action; twists and turns; and a touch of romance thrown in. The majority of it takes place in space, and not all the soldiers, or those in command of them, are the trustworthy ones. The ending leaves you wanting for more. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next installment!

Great book!

Excellent book. Very well written story. Looking forward to book 2. We might have the next George RR Martin on our hands.
