Thomas Senlin
and his new bride, Marya, set off on a honeymoon to the tower of Babel. Senlin had saved and planned for this journey
his entire career as a headmaster, drawn to the tower through the promises of
an infamous guidebook. Climbing the
tower of Babel would be his greatest ambition.
However, when Marya suddenly goes missing it triggers of a number of
unlikely events where Senlin’s world turns into turmoil. His
quest to find his wife begins by searching the many streets, tents and
restaurants, where he meets several men who may be able to help him, only to
find out these people are not as honest as they seem and he must make the
journey alone. After several days of
searching for Marya, he must start from the bottom of the tower and work his
way up. He meets many friends and
enemies along the way in a new world where the rules are different and he must
survive a number of fatalities to survive.
I found the
writing to be beautifully crafted with many remarkable, imaginative and
breathtaking scenes. Bancroft combines a gripping story with strong
characterizations while maintaining an adventurous plot with outlandishly
secondary characters ‘and a mild-mannered hero who is forced to step up his
game. I look forward to the second
instalment.
