Ascent is a novel published in 2007, written by Jed Mercurio . It follows the career of Yevgeni Yeremin, an orphan of Stalingrad , from his days as a MiG 15 pilot in the Korean War , where he becomes a leading ace. However, at the end of the war he crashes in a plane bearing USSR insignia. Although rescued by North Korean troops he is felt to have risked revealing that Soviet aircrew participated in the conflict and on cessation of hostilities he is exiled in disgrace to a polar base. He has been befriended by one of his groundcrew, throughout referred to as The Widow , who follows him north, and he eventually marries her. He becomes a trainee cosmonaut , with little hope of a mission he eventually volunteers for a risky mission to attempt a Soviet Moonshot lunar landing ahead of Apollo 11 , in an untested lunar craft. He knows that if he fails, his death will lead to little comment, and be denied by the USSR. He succeeds in achieving a landing, on the dark side of the Moon , but the lander rocket has malfunctioned, leaving him no hope of return. The novel ends with his descending from the doomed craft to walk on the lunar surface, as the lights in the stranded craft gradually go out. The novel was serialised in 10 episodes in the BBC s Book at Bedtime in August 2007. Literary significance and reception Reviews of Ascent were mixed.
