Transcendence Press Presents: Building A Fortress,

A Prequel Exploring the Origins of the Iconic Fortress and Its Resilient Inhabitants
Transcendence Press is proud to announce the release of Building A Fortress, the highly anticipated prequel to T.A. Styles' riveting The Fortress series.

Following the success of The Fortress and its subsequent installments, Revenant and Kingdom , Styles invites readers back to a dystopian world brimming with resilience, sacrifice, and the unyielding human spirit.

With this prequel, Styles explores how the iconic Fortress and its residents came about and their specific histories, expanding on the unique plots and diverse characters that the whole world seems to enjoy.

A Return to the Foundations of Survival

In Building A Fortress, the first few pages show how Sim, who is spurred on by pain, struggles with guilt and attempts to forge not just a physical fortification but rather a community filled with hope. The action takes place after a global-scale disaster, which illustrates the very sensitive themes of forgiveness and the ability of human beings to recover. This 'prequel' goes back in time to describe crucial events that lead to the dominant themes of leadership, trust, and survival, which run throughout the series.

Praise for The Fortress Series

T.A. Styles has been lauded for the way he has combined action and emotion in his works. It has earned him readers across many different genres. Critics have referred to The Fortress as "a case study on how to write dystopian fiction." Revenant and Kingdom made the saga richer, as it developed into an epic with every character growing in line with the obstacles posed by their world. The post-apocalyptic stories of such fans have, however, always lauded Styles in appreciation for his vivid imagery and character creation as well.

A Story of Redemption and Resilience

In the midst of an unforgiving and dystopian reality, Building A Fortress tackles Sim's troubled past and the psychological issues that arise from it, which compel him to become a savior. To that end, agnatic coaxing of the will to live back into shape or provisions made to help do so, as in allies formed in the Fortress, are examples that Styles aptly weaves into a broader plot about forgiveness, fortitude, and society.

As this prequel addresses the open-endedness of the previous trilogy, it also provides a gripping story for first-time readers.

Why Building A Fortress is a Must-Read

- Deeper Context: For fans of the series, this prequel enhances the experience by exploring the backstories of characters one loves.

- Standalone Appeal: New readers won't be required to know anything before getting into the world of The Fortress, so it is safe to say that it is quite interesting for everyone.

- Themes of Hope and Humanity: Most importantly, Building A Fortress, in the end, is about how no matter how hopeless a situation may seem, there will still be bonds shared among people.

Early Readers Applaud Building A Fortress

Early readers have hailed Building A Fortress as a masterful addition to the series, highlighting its emotional depth and gripping storytelling. Fans of the original trilogy have also commended the prequel that has its own story to tell but helps to fill out the back stories of the characters.

One early reviewer shared:

"Styles has outdone himself. Building A Fortress is much more than a prequel. It is a fire inside that every human being has. It is complex in both its plot and the characters who, or rather who we thought we knew, all the nuances, and it is a wonderful read by itself, something people will be thankful for."

Another reader remarked:

"Reading this book again, I remember what made me initially love The Fortress series. The emotional depth, the detailed landscape, the human being which all characters are - everything is present, and it is marvelous."

Because of such appreciation, Building A Fortress will definitely become the current hottest read in relation to its content as a prequel, but it will also go down as one of Styles' deepest works.

Join the Journey

The author T.A. Styles has carved himself a niche in writing speculating fiction that complements thought provoking with enriching ideas. Building A Fortress is now available in trade paperback and eBook editions.
