About this deal

He has a deep love for anything weird, anything that pushes boundaries, and anything that makes him cry. Nicholas Binge is a bestselling author of speculative thrillers, literary science-fiction, and horror. Winter is appreciably cooler, and for all the desolate and desert landscape, the cold winds remind me a little of London. Ill be the first to admit that I am no physics major, so some of the concepts took me a bit to work through - but I adored this story.

When everything happened with Santi, and the hospital, I had to step away, wean myself off it, rehabilitate. Harold, an engaging narrator, describes being recruited in 1991 by a well-funded yet shady organization to explore an inexplicable phenomenon: A mountain far larger than Everest has appeared in the middle of the Pacific. With backgrounds in geology, archeology, medicine, rock climbing and physics, the group Harry meets upon arrival is formidable.It’s a strange mixture of smart speculative concepts, and some of the worst dialogue and cheesy, cliché reveals I’ve read in a B-horror. And it bothered me that he was addressing his young niece in them-- would he really include all the "fucks" and references to making love to his wife? Although it’s clunky and melodramatic in places, sometimes woefully overwritten, this is still fairly decent holiday or commuter fare – I imagine elements will be familiar to anyone conversant with the subgenre from the requisite evil corporation with its tight-lipped representatives to snippets of mythology and literature through to meandering existential questions.

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!

Además la ambientación en un lugar remoto y hostil, en este caso una montaña helada, para mí fue muy efectivo y os juro que lo pasé mal! A team of selected scientists and other learned folks have been assembled to scale this seemingly unscalable obstacle. Tenemos científicos, maestros en sus propias campos y gente preparada para proteger e ir a los límites.
