Description
An SFF thriller where a mysterious, otherworldly tower appears in the sky above the UK with a single word emblazoned above its doorway . . . ascend. A great listen for fans of Paradox Hotel by Rob Hart.
When a mysterious tower appears in the skies over England, thirteen strangers are pulled from their lives to stand before it as a countdown begins. Above the doorway is one word: ASCEND.
As they try to understand why they've been chosen and what the tower is, it soon becomes clear the only way out of this for everyone is . . . up.
And so begins a race to the top with the group fighting to hold on to its humanity, through sinking ships, haunted houses and other waking nightmares. Can they each overcome their differences and learn to work together or does the winner take it all? What does the tower want of them and what is the price to escape?
