Ascendence Book One

By Brian Densmore

When FBI whistleblower Virginia Murray uncovers evidence that employees at her multinational tech company are disappearing after overseas assignments, exposing the truth makes her the next target.

Her only escape is aboard Ascendence, a cutting-edge electric catamaran captained by Ian Reiley, a Coast Guard veteran preparing for a solo voyage around the world. What begins as an act of survival quickly becomes a deadly chase across the Caribbean as assassins close in from every direction.

As Ian and Virginia uncover a conspiracy tied to human trafficking, corporate corruption, and powerful interests willing to eliminate anyone who threatens their secrets, trust becomes their only weapon. Betrayed by the institutions meant to protect them, they must outmaneuver relentless enemies long enough to expose the truth before they become the next to vanish.

Ascendence Book One is a fast-paced international thriller combining suspense, technology, action, and survival on the open sea.
