Clarke award-winning author of Rosewater and Far from the Light of Heaven Alguna vez has pensado en leer a Lovecraft pero te da bastante miedo o te intimida y no te animas? Pues esta es tu novela 😁

Me ha parecido una historia ideal para adentrarse en un horror cósmico y ciencia ficción light, una novela Lovecraftiana en toda regla 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 Ascension is a thrill ride of a novel that kept me reading well past my bedtime.”— Michael Mammay, author of the Planetside series 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 HeavenAn] eerie metaphysical thriller which recalls literary nightmare fodder like Scott Smith’s The Ruins and Jeff Vandermeer’s Annihilation. . . Sleep tight!” — Entertainment Weekly A vertiginous tale of discovery, horror and weird, time-bending phenomena… [ASCENSION] provides well-sustained tension and some excitingly wrought scenes of violence.” — The Financial Times Ascension is a pastiche of august influences. The epistolary structure is borrowed from Dracula. The doomed expedition that drives Harold mad is akin to H. P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness. . . .Binge earns his place among these literary lights with an expert story of creeping dread and cosmological horror." — Booklist Lo primero que quiero decir es que si queréis leer la novela, leed primero el relato de Lovecraft, creo que se disfruta más de esa forma y se captan todas las referencias. Sin duda es una historia de terror al más puro estilo H.P. Lovecraft. Con esa parte de aventuras y descubrimientos imposibles.

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. Ascension is a beautifully written piece of weird fiction with literary pretensions (well deserved), some sci-fi elements and some horror that is told from the perspective of Harold Turnmore as a series of post hoc letters to his niece after the fact of events several decades later. The book is absolutely brilliant! A vertiginous tale of discovery, horror and weird, time-bending phenomena. . .Using the mountain as a metaphor for humankind’s constant striving towards grace and knowledge, Nicholas Binge’s Ascension explores themes of faith and determinism, with plenty of hardcore science thrown in. . .frequent references to the Sisyphus myth help to elevate it above its pulp-thriller concept. . .the author also provides well-sustained tension and some excitingly wrought scenes of violence.” —The Financial TimesAlthough 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.
