Doomsday

SciFi novel focused on the development of a suprrpowerful AI. The principal characters are FBI and associated Federal officers, the plot moves quickly with unexpected twists and turns. First in a series, the cliffhanger does offer minimal closure.

As I am a gatherer of books, I collect books and ebooks from a variety of sources: Goodreads wins, Bookhub, BookFunnel, emails from authors and publishers, and others. I do lose track of their sources. But, as a reader, I feel I should give an honest, unencumbered review for all I read.

Pretty good story

A few internal inconsistencies, reasonably believable characters and a well developed plot. The 'glitch' lies in the editing - it's BRAKES, not breaks

Unreal apocalypse!

This book is probably pretty good, unfortunately, the grammatical errors kept distracting me. Hopefully, you’ll be able to ignore them.

This is a really great read.
Very realistically written plot and story line.
The characters are very well written and believable.
I really enjoyed the conspiracy plot line and look forward to reading the next one.
Recommend reading.

Ascension is a very interesting idea for a book. This thriller starts off as a typical crime book and then becomes a sci fi conspiracy novel. I found it very interesting how the author develops the story line and the relationship between some of the characters.

Exciting, far out there science fiction book that starts out like a horror story. It has a good plot, great characters, and realistic dialogue. I enjoyed it.

An interesting and entertaining read. Starts as a mystery and turns into a SF conspiracy
