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.
