“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 – and discover what is at the summit. Eminent
scientist, explorer and chronic loner Harry Tunmore is among those
asked to join the secret mission – and he has his own reasons for
joining the team beyond scientific curiosity… But the higher the
team ascend, the stranger things become. Time and space behave
differently on the mountain, turning minutes into hours, and hours
into days. Amid the whipping cold and steep dangers of higher
elevation, the climbers’ limbs numb and memories of their lives
before the mountain begin to fade. What will they discover about
themselves and their world as they rise? What, or who, will they
discover at the top? Framed by the discovery of Harry 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.
