An epic tale of survival, courage, and hope set in a distant future.

The year is 3,342 CE. Humanity has conquered intergalactic travel, spatial teleportation, and the reformation of Earth into New Earth, but progress has come at a cost. After the Interplanetary Alliance (IA) ordered the destruction of an alien planet named Keltar thirteen years prior, a Resistance was formed on New Earth to preserve the last few survivors of that species’ kind. Among the survivors is X, a warrior left fighting for his life in a universe that deems his very existence a threat to all twenty-six races, including humanity. Against overwhelming odds, him and the others must rise from the ashes of their fallen people to challenge a universe that refuses to let them live.

In X: From Ashes We Rise, author Benjamin Rocha weaves an imaginative and cinematic science-fiction narrative filled with tension, resilience, and the enduring quest for hope. The story captures the depth of loss and the strength of faith in the face of extinction, while also exploring what it truly means to survive when everything is stacked against you.

Born and raised in Othello, Washington, Benjamin Rocha is a husband, father, and musician known by his stage name, Little Ben. His creativity stems from a rich childhood filled with imagination and storytelling alongside his brothers, transforming their toy dinosaurs into what became the early inspiration for his novel’s universe. As Rocha shares, the idea for X: From Ashes We Rise began with a vivid dream and blossomed into a story that reflects both his artistic journey and spiritual growth.

“What started as a dream became a calling,” Rocha says. “I prayed for a way to be creative while also providing for my family, and God answered by giving me this story. Every chapter is a testament to faith, perseverance, and the power of asking and believing.”

Through this powerful debut, readers are reminded that even in the darkest of times, there is always light. Rocha’s story serves as a beacon of hope for dreamers, creators, and those who feel lost, encouraging them to hold on to faith and push forward toward their own redemption.

X: From Ashes We Rise is available now through Dorrance Publishing and can be found at bookstore.dorrancepublishing.com and major book retailers.
