The Tower
A new skyscraper rises from a tumultuous city amid wealth, poverty, love, longing, revolution and tragedy. The structure is: The Tower.
A novel based on a tarot card? Believe it. The result is unforgiving drama and unparalleled excitement, like nothing you've ever read.
A mysterious radio host becomes involved with an Occupy-like group of anarchists plotting a demonstration against a spectacular new football stadium. Conflicts and revelations follow.
This fast-paced novel reads as easily as genre fiction, yet it also contains deep symbolism, meaning, intelligence-- and the violent clash of opposing ideas. All plot lines seem to lead toward mystery and madness.
The Tower is Gatsby-sized and Gatsby-concise, done in three parts. The characters and action of the story are focused on a central personality. The dominating question: Who is Lara Vox? The narrative moves quickly toward an unstoppable finale. The book is as well-constructed as a chess game. Every incident sets up an emotionally-wrenching ending.
The main characters:
Lara Vox: dynamic radio host.
Rick Romeo: arrogant head of stadium security.
Miles Milbank: handsome young anarchist leader.
Arthur Tychon: billionaire football team owner.
Bobo: hyper sports mascot.
Also involved in the drama are various revolutionaries, athletes, and musicians. Settings range from a football practice field to an urban jazz club, to an underground revolutionary meeting spot, to the top of a towering skyscraper. The scope of the book is great. The novel is topical and relevant, depicting the noise, striving, and chaos of America now.
Action, drama, pathos: The Tower is the ultimate reading experience.
