About this deal

Deja vu’s are seemingly coming to life, there are anomalies, contemplations on religion and a a mysterious ex wife Naoko Tanaka. A scientist, doctor and professor whose known for his paranormal research, Tunsmore is offered an opportunity to join an expedition to study the reason behind the appearance of a 40,000 foot mountain in the Pacific. Known as The Warden, the leader informs him the multi-billion dollar corporation funding the project requires specifics to be kept confidential. As bait, Harry learns Naoko is one of several members of the research group. Otro consejo es que leáis con atención y que no tengáis reparos en releer párrafos, ya que hay conceptos algo complicados de entender. The epistolary format, flowing from a brother who finds Harold in an asylum, reminded me a bit of Dracula, and feels a bit off given the super high stakes that Nicholas Binge infuses into the story (e.g. we know that Harold survives his ordeal). Although immensely bright and talented, Harry is a loner who has isolated himself from family, friends, and loved ones. This self-inflicted penance has allowed Harry to excel in his scientific field, travelling the world, building his reputation, and leading him to be respected enough to be a part of this exploration team. He has hardened his heart when it comes to feeling and emotions.

Se han topado con el mayor descubrimiento científico conocido por el hombre o con las semillas de su propia desaparición? The story had it all. From moments of true horror, suspense and violence to moments of immense beauty and cosmic mystery.

Success!

ASCENSION is a fantastic blend of so many different sub-genres that I adore. There are elements of science-fiction, horror, techno-thriller, and weird fiction, just to name the most prominent ones that come to mind. The completely fascinating story of a mysterious mountain that appears in the ocean seemingly out of nowhere is one that you can't help but get caught up in. And having the expedition to explore it told in a series of letters is such a cool way of experiencing the enigmatic find through the eyes of the person witnessing it for the first time.

Thrilling. . .full of exploration and intriguing thoughts about the true nature of life on Earth. . .An exciting story where the undiscovered wonders of Earth prove as exciting as those out in the galaxy.” — Library Journal La trama sigue la línea de En las montañas de la locura hasta más o menos la mitad de la novela, cuando se desvía del clásico de Lovecraft para contar su propia historia. No es una novela de terror al uso. Es una historia de ciencia ficción con horror cósmico, lo cual no es sinónimo de terror. También hay mucha filosofía, religión y ¡Romance! Ascience fiction mystery that uses a classical concept, but with a beating heart. Both the science and the suspense are perfection, all held together by a robust emotional core. I enjoyed it immensely.” —Tade Thompson, award-winning author of Rosewater and Far from the Light of Heaven Una historia profunda y elegíaca, que examina la ciencia, la fe y el concepto mismo de la humanidad.Lo que significa vivir y morir, anhelar y esforzarse, y todos los conceptos intermedios.I think people will love this book for different reasons. Some will be drawn to the science, some to the action, some to the internal thoughts of Harold. In that sense, it is a book that will fuel many a conversation – and I expect to see that discussion unfolding when the book is released. Some may find elements controversial, others may find parts pushing boundaries. Binge has written a profound and elegiac story that examines science, faith and the concept of humanity itself —what it means to live and die, to yearn and strive, and all the spaces in between. I will be thinking about this one for a long time!” —Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters The vibe of predestination versus free will is strong, with one of the character poignantly arguing the seeing into his future gave him more choice about Achilles. Todo un homenaje al escritor de Providence. Es más, lo he visto como una especie de retelling de uno de sus relatos más famosos: En las montañas de la locura
