Project Ascension

Countless years after a devastating war nearly destroyed Earth, humanity has rebuilt itself into a highly controlled society known as New Earth. In an attempt to prevent another catastrophe, the new government introduced strict laws, including limits on population and unified policies designed to keep the world stable. But the official history of the war may not tell the whole story. Nathan Blade, a brilliant but reserved teenager, has spent most of his life wondering what happened to his parents. Once renowned scientists and game developers, Daniel and Kate Blade mysteriously disappeared when Nathan was only six years old, leaving behind their fortune, their company, and secrets Nathan has yet to uncover. Now, while attending high school, Nathan begins learning about the history of New Earth. What starts as an ordinary history lesson slowly becomes connected to the unanswered questions surrounding his parents. As Nathan digs deeper, he may discover that the war, the government, his parents' disappearance, and the strange forces maintaining Earth's stability are connected in ways he never imagined. Project Ascension is a science-fiction mystery about a boy uncovering the hidden truth behind his family's past—and the world he thought he understood.
