Initial Interface

Ascending Spectrum is a character-driven science fiction experience created by David Bowles for mature, thoughtful readers. Set several hundred years in the future, this series of novels and peripheral publications charts the crises humanity faces as it heads into what will either be its destruction or the next step in its development. But despite heady philosophical exploration of culture, religion and politics, Ascending Spectrum never loses its focus on the individuals who find themselves in the midst of such upheaval.

The novels themselves are available to the general public, free. You can read them here or download them as eBooks. You are welcome to pass your copies on to others: I take such sharing as the highest praise.
