About this book

Delve into the lives of four remarkable species in an epic journey across time! This historical archive has been translated for the humans of Earth-but within, there are no humans! In this epoch-spanning chronicle of evolutionary proportions, four distinct intelligent species, on a planet not unlike Earth, each get their time on the stage of civilization to showcase their innate strengths, their inevitable flaws, and their unique determination to surmount the massive obstacles that not only their neighboring species, but the planet itself, ceaselessly has to offer. The lives and cultures of the powerful reptilian Serpils and the armadillo-like Drels are reflective of their natures-what's normal to them may seem very strange to us. The ways of the Geminy, being primates, may seem similar to humans, but do not be mistaken. Creative and friendly, the Tubells are a four-eyed species of cephalopods who have a unique perspective after having adapted to live on land. From their humble, hard-scrap origins to their hard-won formation of global civilizations-and beyond to the edge of space-the peculiar and disparate societies animating Ascending Species lay the ground for a fun, fast-paced experience full of nail-biting challenges, complex conflicts, heart-wrenching struggles, and heart-warming achievements. As to which species will survive the whims of time . . . only time will tell.
