Born of the short stories Colony and Probe, the long awaited full novel Colony: Ascension has landed The Earth is dying. Populations have been segregated into worthless and valuable populations. Wages buy only food and shelter, while the rich live like kings. Earth looks to the black abyss of space to save them. And the abyss looks back.
