Aquila Rising (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230713937)

Draconis stole his childhood-now Lewis Falco will steal their future.

In 2198, Mars' red valleys lie crushed under Draconis' brutal mining empire, its colonies bled dry by corporate greed. Across the solar system, their fleets enforce a chokehold, snuffing out hope whenever it starts to shine.

Raised inside the cold precision of the Draconis Navy, Lewis becomes a model officer aboard the aging frigate DarkWind. But when a chance encounter rekindles a bond with Nels-the defiant friend he thought he'd lost-Lewis faces a choice: remain the blade of the empire, or become its undoing.

Armed with insider knowledge, Lewis joins the Aquila Front, a scattered but unbroken resistance fighting for liberty across the solar system. Together, they'll outwit corporate destroyers and betrayals from within. But revolution isn't glorious-it's bloody, uncertain, and personal. And Lewis must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to win it.

One misstep could doom them all.

Aquila Rising blends The Expanse's gritty realism with Battlestar Galactica's emotional stakes, ideal for fans of James S.A. Corey and Adrian Tchaikovsky. Allen Ansel's debut is a space opera of raw defiance and relentless stakes.

Can Lewis reclaim his future without losing himself?
