Wow. This was quite the read!!
Ascension isn’t my usual genre, and yet reading about the book, it called to me.
A mysterious mountain appears from the sea and a team of scientists are gathered to investigate. But as they climb higher the mystery deepens and strange, mind bending events begin to plague them.
Much of the story is told epistolary style, in letters from scientist Harold Tunmore to his niece, Harriet. In them events on the mountain are explored as is his past and the events that lead to him severing ties with his family.
Classed as a high concept thriller, I was indeed enthralled by Ascension! It had my mind buzzing with theories and although I can’t claim to 100% understand all the intricacies of the science involved - the author did an excellent job of explaining them so I had the basis of an understanding.
An absolutely fascinating read, and one which takes the thriller to a new level. Filled with intelligence, action, twists and turns with a very human tale of love at its core. I loved every moment with Ascension.
