Overview: I started writing novels when I was twelve. My first book, The Quest for Mortoangus, was full of dragons and damsels and a main character who looked suspiciously like me, only with muscles and long hair because nothing was cooler to a boy with a crewcut than a ponytail. At 250,000 words, it was also a sprawling, unfocused mess. Even so, by the time I finished it, I was an addict. I was addicted to transcribing my imagination, to jotting down the dream.
I began writing Senlin Ascends, a fantasy adventure, not so unlike the story that got me addicted to this fiddly business of piling up words in the first place. I wrote Senlin Ascends because this sort of writing, this sort of invention and exploration, is the most enjoyable work. I wanted to do for others what my favorite writers had done for me: namely, to pick them up and to carry them to a wonderful and perilous world that is spinning very fast. If I’ve done that with this book, then I’m happy, and the kid with a crewcut who dreamed of a ponytail… well, he’s happy, too.
Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy
1 ~ Senlin Ascends: While honeymooning in the Tower of Babel, Thomas Senlin loses his wife, Marya.
The Tower of Babel is the greatest marvel of the Silk Age. Immense as a mountain, the ancient Tower holds unnumbered ringdoms, warring and peaceful, stacked one on the other like the layers of a cake. It is a world of geniuses and tyrants, of airships and steam engines, of unusual animals and mysterious machines.
Thomas Senlin, the mild-mannered headmaster of a small village school, is drawn to the Tower by scientific curiosity and the grandiose promises of a guidebook. The luxurious Baths of the Tower seem an ideal destination for a honeymoon, but soon after arriving, Senlin loses Marya in the crowd.
Senlin’s search for Marya carries him through madhouses, ballrooms, and burlesque theaters. He must survive betrayal, assassination, and the long guns of a flying fortress. But if he hopes to find his wife, he will have to do more than just survive. This quiet man of letters must become a man of action.
2 ~ Arm of the Sphinx: Forced by necessity into a life of piracy, Senlin and his crew struggle to survive aboard their stolen airship. Senlin’s search for his lost wife continues, even as her ghost hounds his every step. But the Tower of Babel proves to be as difficult to reenter as it was to escape.
While searching for an unguarded port, Senlin encounters the camp of Luc Marat, who seems equal parts bandit and humanitarian. One thing is for certain: his asylum for the downtrodden hods is not as peaceful as it appears.
In desperation, Senlin turns to the mysterious and dangerous Sphinx, with whom Edith shares a terrible bond. They discover the Sphinx’s help does not come cheaply. Senlin must choose between his friends, his freedom, and his wife.
