Ascension

“Old-school creepy… a five-star horror novel.” STEPHEN KING

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 jaw-dropping revelations that challenge the notion of what it means to be human.

IF YOU EVER READ THIS,

TELL OTHERS.

DON’T COME HERE.

When a mountain mysteriously appears in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a group of scientists are sent to investigate.

Explorer Harry Tunmore agrees to join the secret mission – and he has his own reasons beyond scientific curiosity . . .

But the higher the team ascend, the stranger things become. Time moves differently. Memories of their lives before the mountain begin to fade.

What, or who, will they discover at the top?

Interesting concept

The book had potential to become a great book honestly but I feel it was not completed towards the end we needed to understand more about Neil’s story and the ending was tiresome

Pointless Drivel

rarely has a promising premise dissolved so quickly into a barely coherent mush. This novel is stupid, overly sentimental, meandering and pointless, and, above all, unexciting. The parts that tries to be profound and talk about god, or loss, or reconciliation. is laughably, cringe-inducingly bad. The "you have to forgive yourself"-trope is used verbatim, completely straight-faces, as if it's some deep revelatory truth rather than truism of the Hallmark variety. Everything is tropey, bad, and poorly copied from other, better works of fiction.

Avoid.

My new favorite book

Not the book you want to visit often or live there. This book is the one which cuts deep and wound something primal that needs to be torn apart. Because through that wound your soul can once again experience wonders of this existence. After hundreds of books, I have a new best book I've read, despite the fact I'm more disturbed that happy or satisfied.
