Hoping to find a more peaceful and less corrupt place to start looking for his wife, Tom makes his way up the tower in search of answers. Tom cannot believe his eyes, contrary to what he has read in his Everyman’s Guide To The Tower Of Babel, the ground floor is over-populated with thieves, drunks, the desolate and worse. Hoping catch Marya on the way to their hotel, Tom heads into the tower to make his way to The Baths on the third floor. My ReviewĪfter small village headmaster Tom Senlin and his new bride Marya arrive in the shadow of the monumental Tower Of Babel on their honeymoon they are quickly separated in the savage market place that surrounds the entrance to the tower. this quiet man of letters must become a man of action. And if he hopes to ever see his wife again, he will have to do more than just survive.
He must endure betrayal, assassination attempts and the long guns of a flying fortress. To find her, Senlin must enter the Tower of Babel – a world of geniuses and tyrants, of menace and wonder, of unusual animals and mysterious machines. So when he loses his new bride shortly after embarking on the honeymoon of their dreams, he is ill-prepared for the trouble that follows. Mild-mannered headmaster, Thomas Senlin prefers his adventures to be safely contained within the pages of a book. Senlin Ascends is a mesmerising tale of an ordinary man facing the chaos of humanity and coming out the other side a hero. Every inch of this novel is covered in danger, misadventure and chaos as well as passion, heroics and dedication. Josiah Bancroft has created a setting that has so much potential for exploration, eventful interactions and plenty of mayhem.
I was glad that The Tower Of Babel, despite being a fundamentally religious tale, was explored in a purely unbiased format that didn’t force any unwanted theological narratives upon myself.
Luckily Josiah Bancroft has finally done it! Senlin Ascends is a cracking read that explores an unforgettable setting. I have been fascinated by the story and concept of The Tower Of Babel for a while now but I haven’t found and approachable and enjoyable book to sit down and immerse myself in. I saw plenty of great reviews for Senlin Ascends within the book community and I decided to buy it and give it a go. Summed up in a word: Escalating First Impressions I bought this as I was desperate to read it.
