Resumen del Editor
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY VULTURE!
"You've gotta read Ascension by Nicholas Binge. Old-school creepy. . .five-star horror."—Stephen King
"Smartly paced, deploying twists and turns strategically to keep the reader moving. . . The ideas are big and the journey is a whole lot of fun."—The New York Times
"[An] excellent page-turner. . . a macabre, escapist pleasure for the thoughtful set.”—The Wall Street Journal
A mind-bending speculative thriller in which the sudden appearance of a mountain in the middle of the Pacific Ocean leads a group of scientists to a series of revelations that challenge the notion of what it means to be human
The only way out is up. . .
An enormous snow-covered mountain has appeared in the Pacific Ocean. No one knows when exactly it showed up, precisely how big it might be, or how to explain its existence. When Harold Tunmore is contacted by a shadowy organization to help investigate, he has no idea what he is getting into as he and his team set out for the mountain.
The higher Harold’s team ascends, the less things make sense. Time moves differently, turning minutes into hours, and hours into days. Amid the whipping cold of higher elevation, the climbers’ limbs numb and memories of their lives before the mountain begin to fade. Paranoia quickly turns to violence among the crew, and slithering, ancient creatures pursue them in the snow. Still, as the dangers increase, the mystery of the mountain compels them to its peak, where they are certain they will find their answers. Have they stumbled upon the greatest scientific discovery known to man or the seeds of their own demise?
Framed by the discovery of Harold Tunmore’s unsent letters to his family and the chilling and provocative story they tell, Ascension considers the limitations of science and faith and examines both the beautiful and the unsettling sides of human nature.
Reseñas de la Crítica
A New York Times Editors' Choice Pick
"[Ascension] is smartly paced, deploying twists and turns strategically to keep the reader moving. . .Binge's crisp prose moves well between science fiction concepts, Gothic terror and fast-paced action sequences. . . For fans of well-wrought science fiction and cosmic horror scares, Ascension is worth the climb."—The New York Times Book Review
“A heady mix of wildly imaginative, action-packed storytelling and probing philosophical examination of—quite literally—the meaning of life….[Ascension is] full of frenetic action and packed with twists and turns, gun fights and villains, but it’s also a sustained reflection on the limits of being human."—The Chicago Review of Books
"A lovingly retold version of a classic horror thriller, but with more humanity and real emotion; it is the story of a broken man and what redemption looks like in the real world. . .[an] excellent page-turner. . .Ascension is thoroughly recommended—a macabre, escapist pleasure for the thoughtful set.”—The Wall Street Journal

Angel Smith is finally ready to leave Antarctica for a second chance at life. But on what was meant to be her final day, the remote-research station she's been calling home is attacked. Hunted and scared, she and irritatingly gorgeous glaciologist Ford Cooper barely make it out with their lives...only to realize that in a place this remote, there's nowhere left to run. Isolated with no power, no way to contact the outside world, and a madman on their heels, Angel and Ford must fight to survive in the most inhospitable - and beautiful - place on earth.

Historia
In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

Sometimes salvation comes from the most unlikely hero. When Tate Gillespie is marked for death for a crime he didn’t commit, his life crumbles. In a world where "justice" is meted out by a relentless military force, he’s going to need more than a mythical guardian angel. His life down to seconds, he’s saved by the mysterious X, a knife-wielding man he's never even met before. But who is X? Is he the man who threatens and kills without a second thought? Or the strangely gentle man who only seems to act that way around Tate?

Historia
Cal Sounder is a detective working for the police on certain very sensitive cases. So when he’s called in to investigate a homicide at a local apartment, he’s surprised by the routineness of it all. But when he arrives on scene, Cal soon learns that the victim—Roddy Tebbit, an otherwise milquetoast techie—is well over seven feet tall. And although he doesn’t look a day over thirty, he is ninety-one years old. Tebbit is a Titan—one of this dystopian, near-future society’s genetically altered elites. And this case is definitely Cal’s thing.

Historia
From idyllic small towns to claustrophobic urban landscapes, Mallory Viridian is constantly embroiled in murder cases that only she has the insight to solve. But outside of a classic mystery novel, being surrounded by death doesn’t make you a charming amateur detective, it makes you a suspect and a social pariah. So when Mallory gets the opportunity to take refuge on a sentient space station, she thinks she has the solution. Surely the murders will stop if her only company is alien beings. At first her new existence is peacefully quiet…and markedly devoid of homicide.

Did not really meet expectations.
The book was ok. I don’t regret reading but I wouldn’t read again or recommend. The story was very similar to Annihilation. The narrator was not very good. Especially, when he was trying to do other voices.

Moments of Interest
Interesting and/or exciting moments were scattered too infrequently throughout a rather needlessly prolonged story. I would not recommend this story to others. It’s definitely not a page-turner but I don’t regret reading it.

Interesting story despite flaws
Great narration and a generally interesting story. Some huge flaws in mountaineering. I just wish the author had spoken to some mountaineers and changed a couple things to make the story mountaineering part plausible.

Barely lovecraftian
I was told this was Lovecraftian and it barely tries to be. Even when you try to appreciate the story for what it is, it's slow and boring. The main character is such a coward and pushover it feels like my testosterone is leaving my body listening to this.

Feels like Ive read this before
The story in general was giving me "annihilation" vibes. Its more horror than sci-fi. A god enough read and one of those books that frankly could be a better movie than the book.

Gripping and Intruiging story, even if you may have heard it before…
Clearly drawing on the inspirations of “At the Mountains of Madness” and “Annihilation” we still get to experience a gripping and intruiging story that once the climb started it was impossible to put down.
The narrator was a little bothersome for me as he struggled to have multiple voices for different characters creating a ln imperfect transition from the first person narration to conversation.
Overall- if you enjoyed At the Mountains of Madness, this is a great read.

Great narration, emotional
Hard to parse the scifi aspects when listening, but the narrator makes the emotional core of the story even stronger.
The book is a little cheesy - at times it felt like a campfire story, Scooby-Doo, or a horror anime. There were some unintentionally funny bits.
It gets into some philosophical/psychological depth, but nothing really mind-blowing.
I really enjoyed the experience of listening, very suspenseful even though I could see some parts coming.

Was hoping for more
It was ok overall, but the narration could’ve been better. I like the story and the inclusion of some big questions. However, there was very little payoff. If you take on some of life’s big questions, there should at least be an attempt at addressing them. Can’t just bring them up and let them hang there.

solid story with good mostly unexpected ending
I liked the exploration of human motivation and of grief in a creative way. there was good biological sci-fi in it too.

Fantastical silliness
I’m not sure how or why I finished this book. Some parts aren’t bad. I guess I was looking for something else. This wasn’t it.
