A colossal, snow-covered mountain materializes in the Pacific Ocean, defying all explanation. This enigmatic event draws Harold Tunmore and his team into an investigation that challenges the very definition of humanity.
As the expedition ascends, the mountain warps reality. Time distorts, memories fray, and paranoia escalates into violence. Ancient creatures stalk the climbers through the snow. Yet, the allure of the summit and its promised answers propels them onward, despite escalating dangers.
Framed by Harold Tunmore's unsent letters, Ascension explores the boundaries of science and faith, revealing the unsettling and beautiful facets of human nature. This mind-bending speculative thriller, recognized as a Best Book of the Year by Vulture, offers a macabre, escapist pleasure for the thoughtful reader. It is a standout among Sci-Fi Novels and Science Fiction works, a truly experience.
