Senlin, a mild-mannered
school teacher, is drawn to the Tower of Babel by the grandiose promises
of a guidebook. The ancient and immense Tower seems the perfect
destination for a honeymoon. But soon after arriving, Senlin loses his
young wife, Marya, in the crowd.
Senlin’s search for Marya carries him through slums and theaters, prisons and ballrooms. He must survive betrayal, assassination, and the long guns of a flying fortress. But if he hopes to find Marya, Senlin will have to do more than survive. This quiet man of letters must become a man of action.

4 out of 5 stars
Senlin Ascends presents a distinct creation that sets it apart. The
Tower of Babel is truly a wonder of the world, with elaborate settings
and diverse culture. Thomas Senlin has high expectations of what he'll
encounter within, but those lofty ideals are quickly doused with the
cynical reality he finds. Like many tourist traps, the Tower is
romanticized by those who've never been there, but a brutal existence
hovers around every corner.
