The Quintaglio Ascension Trilogy is a series of books that were written by Canadian science fiction writer, Robert J. Sawyer, and was published in the early 90s. Although the series has generated a lot of positive reception and recognition when it first came out, it’s becoming more and more obscure as time goes on. So, I want to go through the books to see what they have to offer, along with going through their backstory, history, and overall lore.
