Description
A covert alliance between two global powers fractures after a chilling event over the Amazon. What begins as a Cold War cover-up spirals into a race to control the unknown, where truth is buried deeper than anyone imagined.
In 1964, Brazil’s military coup birthed the SNI, a shadowy intelligence agency backed by covert U.S. support and known for its brutal suppression of dissent. As Cold War tensions deepened and unexplained aerial phenomena intensified, a secret accord gave the U.S. control over UFO incidents in South America - until a logic-defying moment shattered the agreement: 19 minutes vanished.
Meticulously researched, the historical events and unexplained aerial phenomena depicted in this book corroborate with multiple respected historical resources, making this a compelling and thought-provoking fictional tale - inspired by authentic accounts.
Ascensão – Revolution, debut novel by Ethan Elkins, is a historical sci-fi thriller that unearths buried truths and questions the very fabric of reality.
A Note From the Publisher
- Blake Crouch (for the mind-bending physics)
- Michael Crichton (for the grounded techno-thriller pacing)
- The X-Files (for the government conspiracy and UAP elements)
