Serge Alexandr is bursting onto the scene with his debut novel The Rise of Ares: Mortal Sins, the first installment in the Ares trilogy.
The Rise of Ares is a story ripe for the times, exploring a future society that never addressed the social issues we see today, and what it means to be highly technologically advanced in a world where inequality exists. Serge Alexandr paints a realistic, terrifyingly believable future in which financial inequality has quite literally split the race into two-those that can afford genetic manipulation and those that cannot. Ares, the main character, is forced on a journey across a solar system filled with engineering marvels and social atrocities as he tries to flee the Bank for default, where, beneath the shiny veneer of the inner solar system, we find a society on the verge of change, plagued by dissonance, decadence, hidden AI, and strange rumors from the fringes of the outer system. But there is nowhere to hide in a universe where everything, and everyone, is an eye. Ares soon discovers there is more to the events in his life than he ever realized. That realization, that he is a pawn in a game he can't even fathom, sends him spiraling down a slow, dark, madness.Videos
