3.47/5 (17)

Un munte enorm acoperit de zapada a aparut in Oceanul Pacific. Nimeni nu stie cand a aparut exact, cat de mare ar putea fi sau cumsa-i explice existenta. Cand Harold Tunmore este contactat de o organizatie secreta pentrua ajuta la investigatie, nu are idee in ce se baga in timp ce el siechipapornesc spre varf.Cu cat echipa lui Harold urca mai sus, cu atat lucrurile au mai putinsens. Timpul se scurge diferit, transformand minutele in ore si orelein zile. In frigul naprasnic de la cele mai inalte altitudini, membrelealpinistilor amortesc si amintirile din viata lor inainte ca muntele saapara incep sa se estompeze.Ce mister se ascunde indaratul muntelui si unde ii va purtaascensiunea? Un thriller speculativ de exceptie, in care aparitia din senin a unui munte in mijlocul Oceanului Pacific conduce o expeditie siintifica la descoperiri neasteptate. Incredibil... Tema perfecta. Binge ridica aceasta carte deasupra fictiunii de gen similar. - Publishers Weekly, recenzie cu Stea Romanul are un ritm inteligent, implementand intorsaturi strategice pentru a mentine cititorul in miscare... Proza clara a lui Binge se misca bine intre concepte stiintifico-fantastice, teroare gotica si secvente de actiune in ritm rapid... Imaginea completa este la fel de singulara ca muntele vast din tema centrala a cartii. - The New YorkTimes O poveste ametitoare despre descoperire, groaza si fenomene ciudate, in care timpul nu curge liniar... Ascensiunea ofera o tensiune bine sustinuta si cateva scene de actiune incantatoare. - The Financial Times Daca crezi ca seamana foarte mult cu At the Mountains of Madness al lui H.P. Lovecraft , ei bine, da, Ascensiunea este o versiune repovestita cu dragoste a unui thriller horror clasic, dar cu mai multa umanitate si emotie reala. Ascensiunea este recomandat calduros - o placere macabra, o evadare pentru iubitorii acestui gen."
- The Wall Street Joumal Un amestec captivant de povestire plina de imaginatie, de actiune si examinare filozofica asupra vietii... Ofera o analiza profunda a locului unde se afla adevarata noastra putere. In cele din urma, merita urcarea. - Chicago Review of Books O combinatie intre Calatorie spre centrul Pamantului si Inima intunericului ... Un thriller SF distractiv. - Kirkus Emotionant... o analiza interesanta despre adevarata natura a vietii de pe Pamant... O poveste captivanta in care minunile nedescoperite ale Pamantului se dovedesc la fel de incitante precum cele din galaxie. - LibraryJoumal Traducere din limba engleza deRoxana-Cristina Gheorghe.
