520    Fascinated with the secrets still surrounding the Soviet 
       Union's race against the Americans to put a man on the 
       moon, Jed Mercurio proposes a compelling scenario: What if
       the Americans weren't the first? And with its inscrutable 
       but intriguing hero, Yefgeni Yeremin, a brilliant Soviet 
       cosmonaut, Ascent allows us to imagine what that 
       terrifying journey might have been like.Yeremin, a Soviet 
       MiG pilot, rises from the privation of a Stalingrad 
       orphanage to the heights of the cosmonaut corps. During 
       the Korean War, as a member of an elite squadron, he 
       shoots down the most American fighter jets-a feat that 
       should make him a national hero, but because the Soviets' 
       involvement in the war is secret, Yeremin's victories go 
       unreported. When he is recalled from obscurity to join the
       race to the moon, he realizes it is his chance for 
       immortality. In hypnotic, deceptively spare prose, 
       Mercurio tells a haunting tale that questions the power of
       ideology and the nature of fate.
