What to expect

Extremity is a nail-biting, time-travelling police procedural from bestselling author Nicholas Binge. For fans of True Detective and Philip K. Dick.

‘Easily in the running for the best novella of the year’ – The Fantasy Hive

Infamous police detective Julia Torgrimsen is brought out of forced retirement to investigate the murder of Bruno Donaldson, a billionaire she worked with while undercover. But she doesn’t expect to find two bodies. Both are Bruno, identical down to the fingerprints – and both have been shot.

She soon finds herself on the hunt for a mysterious assassin who has been taking out London’s rich elite one by one. But when she finally catches up with her quarry, she unveils a world of deadly secrets: impossible documents about future stock market crashes; mysterious doppelgangers; and a conspiracy that threatens the entire human race.

To have any chance solving this mystery, Julia will have to revisit her undercover past and the brutal act that destroyed her once-legendary career . . .

Critics Review

Old-school creepy . . . five-star horror
Stephen King on Ascension
A rollicking good read. Playful, inventive and vivid, with addictive narrative drive. Astonishingly accomplished
Lionel Shriver, internationally bestselling author of We Need to Talk About Kevin on Ascension
Binge has written a profound and elegiac story that examines science, faith and the concept of humanity itself – what it means to live and die, to yearn and strive, and all the spaces in between. I will be thinking about this one for a long time
Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters on Ascension
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, Sunday Times bestselling author on Ascension
Thrilling, intelligent sci-fi with a touch of horror and a triumphant conclusion
Gareth Brown, bestselling author of The Book of Doors on Dissolution
This is the perfect read for anyone looking for a fast-paced reading thrill among a sea of long novels
