Pasco, WA Author Publishes Science Fiction Novel

"X: From Ashes We Rise", a new book by Benjamin Rocha, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Set in the year 3,342 CE, "X: From Ashes We Rise" transports readers into a future where intergalactic travel and spatial teleportation are everyday realities, and where survival is anything but guaranteed. Thirteen years after the Interplanetary Alliance (IA) orders the destruction of the planet Keltar, a small band of survivors forms a Resistance to preserve what little remains of their people.

Among them is X, a lone survivor now forced to navigate a universe in which his very existence is considered a threat to twenty-six other races, including humanity itself. Hunted, outnumbered, and facing impossible odds, X must confront the ultimate question: Can one survivor spark hope in a universe that has already deemed him lost?
