As much as I adored Book-2, I must emphasize how much more I enjoyed listening to Book-3 (STAR ALLIANCE). At this point, I would like to express that the ASCENSION series far surpassed the excellent FIRST COLONY group of books, which I enjoyed before. As such, I highly recommend to any Science Fiction aficionado (specially to those who enjoy Space related works) to take the time (and resources) to explore the ASCENSION series by Ken Lozito. Finally, I would like to once again congratulate the author (Ken Lozito) for his outstanding talent as a Science Fiction writer!
