Just because no one likes you and people want nothing to do with you, it doesn’t mean that people aren’t watching you. Someone is always watching, more closely than you ever imagined.

Tommy Johnston of Hattanville, West Virginia went to work every day. He did his work, minded his own business, bicycled home the two miles each evening to his small apartment, and listened to the baseball game after supper each night. Every day at work, weather permitting, he ate his lunch while sitting on a bench in the park. He was never invited to share lunch with his co-workers or meet up with friends, so he found comfort in eating alone where he could see the sky and feel the sun shining on him. His life was routine and he found contentment in that, until the day he became uncharacteristically drowsy after eating. He awakened in a stark white room with no explanation as to where he was or how he had arrived there.

Only by way of the clinical and sterile voice that comes through hidden speakers in the ceiling and by the flashing arrows on the walls is he given any direction at all for what he is to do each day. Horrific mental and emotional brutalities are all part of what he is told is called “the orientation.” Orientation for what he does not know and is not being told. Alone and terrified, Tommy does his best to understand what is being done to him, all while he is being observed by unseen, but very knowledgeable eyes.

“The Group” has a purpose for what they are doing—Tommy was not chosen at random, nor was he the first to be taken. He and others are all part of a vast but secretive plan to improve the human condition, but the pain must be endured first by these few before the blessings can be bestowed on everyone else.

Discover for yourself the suffering that must be withstood. Understand it, even if Tommy Johnston does not. Find out just what is going on inside The Tower.

The sequel to this book, just like Tommy Johnston’s fate, is coming soon.
