investigating an unfathomable deep vent in the ocean floor, leading her on a
journey that will encompass the full trajectory of the cosmos and the passage
of a single human life

Leigh grew up in Rotterdam, drawn to the waterfront as an
escape from her unhappy home life and volatile father. Enchanted by the
undersea world of her childhood, she excels in marine biology, travelling the
globe to study ancient organisms. When a trench is discovered in the Atlantic
ocean, Leigh joins the exploration team, hoping to find evidence of the earth's
first life forms - what she instead finds calls into question everything we
know about our own beginnings.
Her discovery leads Leigh to the Mojave desert and an ambitious new space
agency. Drawn deeper into the agency's work, she learns that the Atlantic
trench is only one of several related phenomena from across the world, each
piece linking up to suggest a pattern beyond human understanding. Leigh knows
that to continue working with the agency will mean leaving behind her declining
mother and her younger sister, and faces an impossible choice: to remain with
her family, or to embark on a journey across the breadth of the cosmos.
Exploring the natural world with the wonder and reverence we usually reserve
for the stars, In Ascension is a compassionate, deeply inquisitive
epic that reaches outward to confront the greatest questions of existence,
looks inward to illuminate the smallest details of the human heart, and shows
how - no matter how far away we might be and how much we have lost hope - we
will always attempt to return to the people and places we call home.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16362572</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16362572</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[MacInnes, Martin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/16362572981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780802163479/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Overgave]]></title><description><![CDATA[Leigh groeide op in Rotterdam en zwom vaak in het water van de Maas, haar toevluchtsoord. Gefascineerd door de onderwaterwereld van haar jeugd, blinkt ze uit in mariene biologie en reist ze de wereld rond voor haar onderzoek. Totdat Leigh zich bij het onderzoeksteam voegt dat afdaalt naar de diepste diepte van de oceaan. Wat ze daar vinden, trekt alles in twijfel wat we weten over ons eigen begin.

Met de verwondering en eerbied die we doorgaans alleen voor de sterren bewaren, verkent Martin MacInnes de wereld. In Overgave laat hij zien - hoe ver weg we ook zijn en hoe erg we de hoop ook hebben verloren - dat we altijd zullen proberen terug te keren naar de mensen en plaatsen die we thuis noemen. MacInnes neemt je mee in een empathisch, onderzoekend verhaal over familie, ambitie en troost.

Amid unusual behaviour and unexplained deaths, Shel Murray suspects her team is being hunted. Back at home, Shel's partner is attacked touring their new property. Amnesiac and quarantined, John is visited by an inscrutable doctor, tending to the still fresh wounds. As his memory returns, John questions not only the assault, but the renewed marks on his body, and the black fungus now growing on the walls.

A sudden event changes everything. Shel is interrogated over the expedition in the park; John throws himself into work, developing new software. Together, with a greater understanding of how much they have to lose, they face a grave threat, something that promises to devour everything.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14057040</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14057040</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[MacInnes, Martin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/14057040981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781786493460/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Ascension]]></title><description><![CDATA["An astonishing novel about a young microbiologist investigating an unfathomable deep vent in the ocean floor, leading her on a journey that will encompass the full trajectory of the cosmos and the passage of a single human life.

Smart, clever, and honest. I doubt you've read anything quite like it." —Jeff VanderMeer, author of <i>The Southern Reach</i> trilogy</b><br>On a sweltering summer night at a restaurant in an unnamed Latin American city, a man at a family dinner gets up from the table to go to the restroom . . . and never comes back. He was acting normal, say family members. None of the waiters or other customers saw him leave.<br>A semi-retired detective takes the case, but what should be a routine investigation becomes something strange, intangible, even sinister. The corporation for which the missing man worked seems to be a front for something else; the staff describes their colleague as having suffered alarming, shifting physical symptoms; a forensic scientist examining his office uncovers evidence of curious microorganisms.<br>As the detective relives and retraces the man's footsteps, the trail leads him away from the city sprawl and deep into the country's rainforest interior . . . where, amidst the overwhelming horrors and wonders of the natural world, a chilling police procedural explodes into a dislocating investigation into the nature of reality.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C3249100</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C3249100</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[MacInnes, Martin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3249100980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781612196862/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
