About this listen

In a world similar to our own 17th century, one man's kindness lifts a poor, homeless boy from the dirt and sets him on an unlikely path of adventure.

An average man would use a silver coin to buy food for a week.

An extraordinary boy can use that same coin to build an empire.

As per usual, a great performance by Steve!

Story line was really interesting, well paced Imo and always keeps you guessing.
For those who dislike it, there is a lot of suggestive writing done here, and it's done expertly, great execution! If you don't like to guess and figure things on your own, go on to the next book, for those who love books with a high level of sophistication, this is it!

Waiting anxiously for book 2 on audio!

Amazing!

finished it in less than 24 hours...
couldn't put it down...
compelling world, great characters and wonderful story...
the MC is a little OP, but you will find out why...

Steve is a one man band of narration except he is actually a natural genius of each one...
Being able to recognise a character by voice alone hours after he was last in a scenario is truly amazing

dragged me in and didn't let go

Spoiler: I love all of Terry's books. Having said that, I want to say that Ascension is my favorite of them all.

I read this book some time ago, but had to snap it up as soon as I found it was available on audio.

Leo, our hero, is a great character. He's always two steps ahead of everyone, including me as the reader.

No spoilers from me, except to say, I loved it.

Knocks it out of the park!

I was provided a free copy for an honest review.

This book is full of twists and turns the whole way though and was a very enjoyable ride. The author does a good job of showing the rise of the main character from a beggar to much, much more while still maintaining an interesting and compelling main character. The narration is very good and I have no real complaints about it. I am looking forward to book 2 and will definitely listen to it.

An interesting listen

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I was captivated by complexity of the characters and found myself cheering for the hero, and on the edge of my seat when things weren't going well. Terry is an incredible talent and I pray he continues with many more books in this series!

Amazing story from start to finish

Overall, this is a great story. I already want to hear the next book. At the start, I thought the book would focus on the alleys, but as the story carried out, I was surprised at the ever expanding world. And with that ending? It was really shocking, especially with the... *spoiler stuff I can't mention*
Seriously, I listened to the whole thing in one day, even while I was at work, I was that intrigued.

I also like Steve Campbell's work, and will endeavor to listen to more of his work when I can. Keep up the good work, Steve!

What a fascinating story with twists

This book was fantastic. I loved every minute of it, and I was sad when it ended. I was looking for the next book as soon as I finished this. However, I haven't found it yet.

I do recommend this book and I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Loved it!

This was such an epic story, so many points that caught me off guard. All I can say is, wow!

Excellent book and quite intriguing. It was easy to be involved and invested in the story, though I have many questions remaining!

The narrator was probably the best I have ever encountered. I'm happy to have listened to this book rather than read on my own.

I've liked other books by this author but Ascension is my favorite.

Leo Wrathson , I need to have more of your story! ( Yes, I'm addressing him as if he's real and not a character in a book.)

5 stars!

First Terry Schott book I've read/ listened to on audible.
