The Ascent by JAPartridge
52 parts Complete
It was only supposed to be a minor military expedition and Kenneth Phon was only supposed to be an observer. But when the ambitions of powerful men turn to betrayal and murder, the largest human war fleet ever assembled finds itself leaderless and lost, thousands of light-years deep in the territory of a hostile alien empire. With the fleet surrounded and on the point of surrender, Kenneth Phon takes charge and leads them in their fight home through hundreds of enemy systems. The underachieving son of a wealthy shipbuilder, Ken must fight off more experienced commanders trying to undermine his authority and fractious mercenary ship captains who'd rather fight each other or turn pirate than cooperate. If he fails, not only will the fleet be destroyed, but the defenseless Earth will be sterilized by aliens bent on revenge. (Based on a true story.)

It's the year 2060. The last world war was fought not with soldiers, but with code, machines, and stolen time. Democracy is dead. Earth is dying. And those who survived rule with knowledge they should've destroyed. Now, survival depends on power-and power depends on what you find first. This is a story of war beyond borders. War beyond time. War beyond galaxies. We used to fear nuclear bombs. Now we fear the collapse of space itself. We thought we were building the future. We didn't realise we were rewriting it. This isn't just a story. This is our future.

When a rogue Covenant fleet, led by the fanatical Prophet Ral'Koth, inadvertently stumbles into the Expanse universe, humanity finds itself on the brink of a war it never anticipated. Armed with powerful alien technology and a religious zealotry that borders on madness, the Covenant begin their invasion of the Solar System, attacking Mars and threatening Earth's very existence. The crew of the Rocinante-Captain James Holden and his diverse crew-become humanity's first line of defense after a failed mission to infiltrate a Covenant ship. With the Covenant forces adapting to humanity's defenses and devastating Mars' fleet, the fragile alliances between Earth, Mars, and the Belt are tested like never before. United by the threat of extinction, the factions of humanity must work together to decipher the Covenant's technologies and weapons while navigating complex political divides. As Covenant forces advance, it's up to Avasarala, Holden, and an unlikely coalition of Earth's leaders, Martians, and Belters to strategize a defense against a technologically superior enemy that will stop at nothing to annihilate humanity. This epic crossover between Halo and The Expanse explores humanity's resilience in the face of an alien force far beyond anything they've encountered, testing the limits of their unity and pushing them into a fight for their very survival.
