Download the free preview (EPUB)A covert alliance between two global powers fractures after a chilling event over the Amazon - 19 minutes lost to anomalies that defy logic. 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 chilling event over the Amazon shattered the agreement: 19 minutes vanished, leaving behind anomalies that defy logic. Ascensão – Revolution, debut novel by Ethan Elkins, is a historical sci-fi thriller that unearths buried truths and questions the very fabric of reality.
