Ascension by Nicholas BingeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ascension by Nicholas Binge is somewhere between science fiction and horror. It is presented as a collection of letters written to the main character's niece that were compiled and printed posthumously to warn humans about a threat to our existence. I am always going to give an epistolary novel a go. I just love that style. There are editorial asides which lend to making it feel real. This did make me think a bit about the movie, The Thing. A team of experts in their field end up in a very brutal environment trying to figure out what is going on but also what killed the team before them. The main question is how does a mountain show up out of nowhere? The only way to find the answer is to ascend.
