First Born Ascension takes place in the Solar Retaliation Universe, where humanity has colonized our solar system. The prequel, detailing the Liberation War of Mars and how the Vagabonds came to such prominence, is available on Kindle Unlimited for free.

Plagued by trade disputes, terror attacks, state-funded hacking, and economic hardship exploited by corporations, the Parliament of our solar system is hanging on by a thread. To make matters worse, Mars has fully overthrown their corporate masters, severely disturbing trade and peace as Martian Mercenaries and terrorists flock outward toward greener pastures. In the midst of chaos, at the worst time possible, humanity has discovered they are not alone in the universe. Representatives of a citadel in space, called Zion, comprised of the scholars, scientists, and military elite of most space-traveling civilizations have made contact, sending representatives in humanoid forms known as Professors to assist humans, in an attempt to bring our solar system into the intergalactic fold. Unfortunately, they are not the only power at work, and the clock has started to wind down as both Zion and the Parliament try desperately to bring Humanity into the fold before the dark powers beyond our solar system get to us.

Follow the Nameless Bounty hunter, a self-freed slave, and Leader of the Martian Vagabonds who overthrew the corporate masters, as he tries to integrate the Vagabonds into Zion to gain training and equipment to protect a newly freed mars. Read along as Staff Sergeant Rachel, a lone survivor of a destroyed planet who was rescued by the Zion task forces, and joined the foreign fighter corps vowing vengeance on the dark aliens that destroyed her world. Will she complete her mission, or become another dog tag nailed to the walls of the Task Force barracks walls? Join along as the third Protagonist, a 50-year-old man stunted at ten years -old, a former Martian Child Labor Cyborg, Captian Spider, as he tries to get back home. He doesn't know what planet he's on, or how he got there, but he wants to be reunited with his Vagabonds.
