—National Post

“Galloway has done his research, which, along with his soaring imagination, enables him to transport us to an exotic and spellbinding aerie.”

—San Francisco Chronicle

“An astonishing literary achievement … The pace is perfectly maintained … a book that cannot be put down. This tour de force is the closest any of us will come to breathing at this altitude, much less walking there. Highly recommended.”

—Library Journal

“Ascension is a compelling and charming epic tale.”

—The Chronicle-Herald (Halifax)

“A feat deserving big top applause … Galloway has the power to move and astonish, seemingly without sweat or effort.”

—Quill & Quire

“Galloway is a patient and agile storyteller … he immerses the reader in his story, his world.… He aims high, stays cool and never seeks the ground.”

—Geist

“Galloway is a master of suspense, dangling his readers by an elbow or foot from a sagging wire.… His narrative is so gripping that I often had to pause and take a breath before carrying on.… You simply will not put this book down until the final sentence.”

—The Sun Times (Owen Sound)
