About this listen
A mind-bending speculative thriller in which the sudden appearance of a mountain in the middle of the Pacific Ocean leads a group of scientists to a series of jaw-dropping revelations that challenge the notion of what it means to be human.
IF YOU EVER READ THIS,
TELL OTHERS.
DON’T COME HERE.
When a mountain mysteriously appears in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a group of scientists are sent to investigate.
Explorer Harry Tunmore agrees to join the secret mission – and he has his own reasons beyond scientific curiosity . . .
But the higher the team ascend, the stranger things become. Time moves differently. Memories of their lives before the mountain begin to fade.
What, or who, will they discover at the top?

"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)
"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)

Ascension review
Another wonderful narration by the master Peter Kenny, a delight to listen to.
The story of Harold embarking on an adventure that becomes both fantastical and driven by unseen forces. The letters to his niece are a nice way of storytelling, so you only ever understand what is happening through Harold’s interpretations.

Philosophical speculative fiction
Hard to work out what is happening on this scientific expedition to a mysterious mountain in the sea. But worth persevering. Beautifully narrated.

Excellent suspenseful sci-fi
A well-paced, thematically coherent hard sci-fi with equal parts suspense and melancholy. Peter Kenny narrates superbly, as always.
