Ascension
Ascension: A Phobos novel | Victor Dixen
7 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
The first in a heartstopping, high-octane new space trilogy Six girls, six boys. Each in the two separate bays of a single spaceship. They have six minutes each week to seduce and to make their choices, under the unblinking eye of the on-board cameras. They are the contenders in the Genesis programme, the world's craziest speed-dating show ever, aimed at creating the first human colony on Mars. Leonor, an 18 year old orphan, is one of the chosen ones. She has signed up for glory. She has signed up for love. She has signed up for a one-way ticket. Even if the dream turns to a nightmare, it is too late for regrets.

I loved this. It was an easy read but interesting. It‘s thriller, romance and betrayal. Not my usual. I just read it in one sitting. I was glad to have the second in the series to start straight away!

I was surprised by how much I liked this, actually. A bit cheesy in places, but it‘s a reality TV show based in space, so its not surprising! It‘s the first in a trilogy, and I have the second instalment on preorder. That‘s how much I liked it!

Ascension by Victor Dixen is a bizarre tale of space exploration meets speed dating blind date reality TV. Could have been amazing but is merely okay due to major cliches in the story and characters.

Updates: I‘m still reading Ascension by Victor Dixen which so far seems really interesting. I‘m now working my way through getting people matched for the Tolkienite Swap and it‘s scary work! Remind me never to host a swap again 🙊😬 I‘m sorry I‘ve not been very active in Litsy at the moment. I have my exam for uni on Monday and I am stressed, panicky and worried - it‘s slowly drowning me and I‘m not doing well in myself. I‘ll be more active soon!

youneverarrived Good luck with your exam. I‘m sure you‘ll do great 😚 6y

So far so good with Ascension. It‘s translated really well and the story seems interesting. I‘m not far enough in to have formed opinions on the characters yet but overall it seems promising! @hotkeybooks #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookmarks #booklover #bookblogger #bookstagram #newrelease #scifi

{#currentlyreading — Ascension by Victor Dixen} 💫🖤

This follows the story of six women and six men as they make history by being the first twelve people to colonise Mars. The catch, they‘ve never met each other before and they must live the rest of their lives in a space age reality romance program. Forced to speed date and choose a lover to breed life on the red planet. #bibliophile #bookaddict #booklover #bookblogger #scifi #newrelease

Qchambers This sounds crazy! I‘m already interested 6y
somebooksaround This book sounds wild!! 6y
Sophoclessweetheart @Qchambers @josteele It certainly sounds crazy doesn‘t it? It‘s got kinda Hunger Games sort of a feel to it but without the death and murder 😹😹🖤 6y

Yesterday I got book mail in the form of a sci-fi ARC from @hotkeybooks 🖤🍃 It‘s the first of a new trilogy that comes out June 28th. It‘s got The Hunger Games meets The Selection vibes I believe, though I‘ve never read The Selection. Keep your eyes out for it anyway, it sounds like it might be a good one. #scififantasy #scifi #bookishcandles #bibliophile #bookaddict #booklover #bookblogger #bookstagram #advancedreaderscopy #newrelease
