LAST HUNTER - ASCENT continues the tale of Solomon Ull Vincent, the only Son of Antartica, and his battles with the "men of renown" from the Genesis tale - the Nephilim, human/demon hybrids worshipped by the ancient world as gods.In this tale, as promised, the storylines of LAST HUNTER and ANTARKTOS RISING, one of Robinson's early (and best, IMHO) books are finally merged, and by the end of ASCENT a cohesive story line emerges for the characters of both tales.I don't want to reveal too much, but at the end of the second book in the series, our hero was pretty much at the lowest point he could possibly be - willingly condemning himself to Tartarus while battling the greatest Nephilim warrior. The tale of ASCENT picks up at that point, with our hero having to find himself, leave Tartarus, find his way in the new ANTARKTOS RISING world (with a crustal displacement that happened at the end of Book 2 having shifted Antartica to the equator, and the subsequent changes to that continent), learn what is happening on the continent as a result of ANTARKTOS RISING, and finally learn his destiny.To fully understand this book, you really need to read the first two first. To enjoy it, feel free to pick this one up on its own - you'll have questions about the previous action, but you'll be able to enjoy the action of this book even without the full depth of knowledge of the first two.Overall a GREAT tale, and I'm already looking forward to Book 4!
