‘Jaw-dropping’
COSMOPOLITAN

‘Binge’s eerie speculative thriller looks both outward at the edges of scientific understanding, and inward at the meaning of responsibility, remorse and the human capacity for salvaging mercy from tragedy.’
THE WASHINGTON POST

‘Myth, physics, religion and human nature…it’s all there in this brilliant, brain-twisting, high-concept tour-de-force that keeps you reading just as the scientists in the story are compelled to keep climbing.’
DAILY MAIL

‘You’ve gotta read Ascension by Nicholas Binge. Old-school creepy…a five-star horror novel.’

‘Binge is an author to watch and if his subsequent novels are anything close to ASCENSION, I’ll be reading every single one. A fantastic achievement that’ll make me look at my beloved mountains twice.’
TJ Klune, New York Times bestselling author

‘Binge has written a profound and elegiac story that examines science, faith and the concept of humanity itself… I will be thinking about this one for a long time!’
Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE BOOK EATERS

‘A rollicking good read. Playful, inventive and vivid, with addictive narrative drive. Astonishingly accomplished.’
Lionel Shriver, bestselling author of WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN

‘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 HEAVEN
