Lord Ajax! First and greatest Ascendant; conqueror of the Martian machine-minds; mighty Steward of Leviathan's Dominion! For a thousand years, Ajax has ruled the solar system's worlds and moons with an iron fist. But history catches up with everyone—even an immortal tyrant. On the frozen dwarf planet Ceres, a scribe composes a record of his millennium-long rule. Unbeknownst to Ajax, her account contains a coded message that will spark a revolution.

reviewed The Dominion of Leviathan by Manish Melwani

An okay story, but I was expecting more.

3 stars

An okay story that, while 'Space Opera' in scope, is let down by a narrative that informs the reader of events that have (or will occur) off-stage, rather than letting the reader discover it.

In a written missive, the narrator tells the story of Lord Ajax, who rules over the Solar System and will not tolerate weakness and presumed treachery. She also tells the story of how she is discovered by Lord Ajax, transformed in an 'Ascendant' (basically a uber-human), undergoes trials, only to be arrested and punished.
