A good conclusion to the Darkness Revealed series.
The book contains two adventures: Heaven Through Iron Gates and Climbing to Tartarus. Both adventures have separate color sections with in-character info to the players. Thankfully, unlike some adventures of the Darkness Revealed series, there are no spoilers in this in-character section. Both adventures can be played independently from the rest of the series, but they'll be much more satisfactory as a conclusion to the Darkness Revealed story arc. Apart from the adventures, there's also some setting info on the extrasolar colonies, North America and Africa.

It's difficult to describe the book without giving out spoilers. Both adventures have a very epic feel (especially Climbing to Tartarus), and, should the characters end them, they'll probably become very popular and influential. Both adventures introduce significant changes to the Trinity universe, no matter how they're concluded.
Resuming, a very solid book. If you like epic space opera, you'll love Ascent to Light.
