About this deal

The rest of the book is told through these letters and his ascension with a team of experts, brought together by a covert organisation, to the summit of the biggest mountain on earth that has suddenly appeared from nowhere in the Pacific ocean and what they discovered. Conforme la expedición vaya ascendiendo irá sufriendo no solo los rigores propios de la altura, el frio y la escasez de oxígeno, sino una serie de alteraciones de la percepción provocadas por las singulares propiedades físicas del orógeno. It’s thought provoking, spiritual and at the end of the book I was left with more questions than answers - not because of the storyline but the topic. Years later, his brother finds a collection of journals and unsent letters he composed, chronicling the events on the mountain as they unfolded.

But overarching credibility isn’t really the point of this kind of narrative, a diverting, gripping page-turner with an abundance of pulpy material, much of which I found surprisingly enjoyable - especially the tentacled creatures who lurk in the mountain’s shadows. You wouldn't be allowed to be with me, obviously, as then you'd hear the name of the access, and even that would be too much. Bien, no veréis nunca al personaje hacer algo inteligente en la novela, ni un acto ni una deducción brillante que no se le haya revelado antes o que cualquiera con dos dedos de frente y mínimos conocimientos científicos podría hacer.Lovecraft nunca aceptó la cosmogonía maniquea en que August Derleth convirtió los Mitos de Cthulhu -leñe, si ni siquiera aceptó la existencia de los Mitos como una mitología-, no me creo que fuera a aceptar que el ser humano fuera la especie predestinada a la excelencia como hace Binge. Reality appears fluid and time dilates and runs in flows that tide and ebb all along their climb, with weird visions and glimpses of the future seeming to be a regular occurrence to some while things continually seem to be getting out of whack the further they climb. Just so you know what I mean - the main character checks into his hotel room (and yes I don’t know and don’t care what his name is), and inside are two weird af “government agents” who want something from him while they obviously can’t share any info because it’s “more top secret than you can imagine”.

Binge has written a profound and elegiac story that examines science, faith and the concept of humanity itself… I will be thinking about this one for a long time! Sometimes a man needs help giving his thoughts life, giving his words meaning, so that he can confide that meaning with God.I checked into the Historic Taos Inn, a quaint location set across several adobe houses, thankful that I was here in January.

Ascension” is 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. But I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case and the faith aspect isn't done in a overtly heavy handed way at all.

I'll definitely be looking out for more from Nicholas Binge in the future, and I wholeheartedly recommend this. Binge is an author to watch, and if his subsequent novels are anything close to Ascension, I’ll be reading every single one. When Harold encounters Naoko, he's shocked by her strange behavior, the first of many oddities that surface. Ese esteta llamado Dan Brown: Aquí quizá estoy siendo cruel de manera gratuita; no como antes, por supuesto. It's a story that gradually peels back layer after tantalizing layer until the ultimate mystery is finally revealed.

It just feels like the author wanted to make sure we understood his protagonist was a genius and he knows Einstein = physicist = genius, so that’s the profession the protagonist has to have, with zero regard or understanding of what a physicist is or does. 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.Michael Mammay, author of the PLANETSIDE SERIES --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Es así que el misterio de lo que pasó en la expedición es poco a poco revelado a través de las misivas, lo cual le da a la narración un toque personal bastante interesante y atractivo. Harold joins fellow top scientists from various disciplines, as well as a few gun-toting military types. The letters act as chapters and occasionally feature editor's notes which usually reference the letters' dates or conditions (how worn etc. Por ejemplo, el origen de la montaña se despacha como si tal cosa en un momento del libro, o la vida basada en el ARN -que aunque aquí digan que los ARN virus no son seres vivos lo son, teóricamente- que funciona brevemente como misterio accesorio a la ya misteriosa naturaleza de la montaña pero que apenas se desarrolla ni explica.
