Ascends
The
Tower
of
Babel
is
proving
to
be
as
difficult
to
reenter
as
it
was
to
break
out
of.
Forced
into
a
life
of
piracy,
Senlin
and
his
eclectic
crew
are
struggling
to
survive
aboard
their
stolen
airship
as
the
hunt
to
rescue
Senlin's
lost
wife
continues.
Hopeless
and
desolate,
they
turn
to
a
legend
of
the
Tower,
the
mysterious
Sphinx.
But
help
from
the
Sphinx
never
comes
cheaply,
and
as
Senlin
knows,
debts
aren't
always
what
they
seem
in
the
Tower
of
Babel.
Time
is
running
out,
and
now
Senlin
must
choose
between
his
friends,
his
freedom,
and
his
wife.
Does
anyone
truly
escape
the
Tower?

Victor Tanasa a dat nota:
What a follow-up! No middle book syndrome here, this feels as fresh as Senlin Ascends. The series is shaping up to be truly great, with lovable characters, immersive and very imaginative world building, heartfelt moments, lots of action and beautiful writing. Awesome from start to finish.
Notă biografică
Josiah
Bancroft
started
writing
novels
when
he
was
twelve,
and
by
the
time
he
finished
his
first,
he
was
an
addict.
Eventually,
the
writing
of
Senlin
Ascends
began,
a
fantasy
adventure,
not
so
unlike
the
stories
that
got
him
addicted
to
words
in
the
first
place.
He
wanted
to
do
for
others
what
his
favorite
writers
had
done
for
him:
namely,
to
pick
them
up
and
to
carry
them
to
a
wonderful
and
perilous
world
that
is
spinning
very
fast.
If
he's
done
that
with
this
book,
then
he's
happy.
Josiah
lives
in
Philadelphia
with
his
wife,
Sharon,
their
daughter
Maddie,
and
their
two
rabbits,
Mabel
and
Chaplin.

"It's rare to find a modern book that feels like a timeless classic. I'm wildly in love with this book."—Pierce Brown, author of Red Rising on Senlin Ascends
"The "Books of Babel" are something you hope to see perhaps once a decade - future classics, which may be remembered long after the series concludes."—Los Angeles Times on The Hod King
"Wonderfully unique and superbly well written. I loved every page."—Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld on Senlin Ascends

—Mark Lawrence, author of Prince of Thorns on Senlin Ascends
"Senlin is a man worth rooting for, and his strengthening resolve and character is as marvelous and sprawling as the tower he climbs."—The Washington Post on Senlin Ascends

'Like its predecessor, it is a brilliant piece of work . . .
these two books are genius. I just love them. The story, characters and imagination shine' Mark LawrenceForced by necessity into a life of piracy, Senlin and his eclectic crew struggle to survive aboard their stolen airship as the hunt for his lost wife continues.
But the Tower of Babel is proving to be as difficult to re-enter as it was to escape. Hopeless and desolate, they turn to a legend of the tower, the mysterious Sphinx. But help from the sphinx doesn't come cheaply and, as Senlin knows, debts aren't always what they seem in the Tower of Babel.
Praise for the series:'Brilliant' - Publishers Weekly'I loved it' - Django Wexler'An engrossing intoxicating delight' - Forbidden Planet 'An extraordinary debut that is well worthy of the hype. A beautifully written, highly engaging page-turning masterpiece' - Fantasy Book Review 'Thomas Senlin is the most unlikely yet likeable hero since a certain hobbit rushed out of Bag End leaving his second breakfast half-finished and entirely unwashed-up' - Fantasy Faction
