Mr. Gibson’s debut novel is one heck of a read! The dialog is tight, the story-telling excellent, and the characters have real depth. As a Texan, I found the subtleties also impressive: from expressions used by the characters to descriptions of places and items, I could tell that he has spent a good portion of his life in the culture and environment in which he has set his novel. From the start the book maintains a fast tempo and keeps the reader engaged as the story unfolds. I’m looking forward to his next publication.

An intriguing David and Goliath book that captured my interest at page one, then kept me enraptured through one unexpected turn after another. Shows that we can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges in life and even in business.

Be ready for some twists and turns in a book that you just cannot put down. Malcolm Gibson has done well with his debut novel. The characters are well developed and you actually care about them -- well, not all of them. The plot develops steadily and consistently, ending in an unexpected sprint to the finish. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book is well written, in that I didn’t get bored with unnecessary dialogue.

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2019

Ascending Power by Malcolm Gibson was received direct from the authors publicist. I had never heard of the author or obviously read any of his books prior to this one. I had also never read any books about “Big Oil” or a NFL quarterback either. This book kind of made me think of books I read growing up, with the bad entity, the good entity (good vs evil), and the mysterious substance that can make one or the other rich beyond their wildest dreams. The book is well written, in that I didn’t get bored with unnecessary dialogue that tends to slow books down nowadays. As always, I won’t go into details, but I do think this book will not be a solo effort. If you like David vs Goliath type reads, or books about Texas, or buy gifts for someone who does, give this book a read.
