The Ascension Machine by Rob Edwards

5.0

As more of a fan of sci-fi than of comics books superheroes, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the Ascension machine fully. As it turns out I couldn’t put it down! It is a formidable blend of two highly entertaining genres. The plot is riveting right to the final battle, but it is the characters that really make the book. They are instantly likable with their own sets of powers and skills and the universe surrounding them is just as well-thought-out (special mention to Power Ball). The ascension machine is entertaining, funny and had me cheers on the heroes at every turn.
