DISCOVER THE EXTRAORDINARY DEBUT THAT HAS GOT EVERYONE TALKING

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. And if he hopes to ever see his wife again, he will have to do more than just survive . . . this quiet man of letters must become a man of action.

Praise for this book
"One of the best reads I've had in ages." - Mark Lawrence
"Senlin Ascends crosses the everyday strangeness and lyrical prose of Borges and Gogol with all the action and adventure of high fantasy. I loved it, and grabbed the next one as soon as I turned the last page." - Django Wexler
