About this listen

The secrets of the tower will finally be revealed in the remarkable conclusion to the highly acclaimed Books of Babel series.

As Marat's siege engine bores through the Tower, Senlin can do nothing but observe the mayhem from inside the belly of the beast. Edith and her crew are forced to face Marat on unequal footing, with Senlin caught in the crossfire, while Adam attempts to unravel the mystery of his fame inside the crowning ringdom. And when the Brick Layer's true ambition is revealed, neither the Tower nor its inhabitants will ever be the same again.

The Books of Babel:

  • Senlin Ascends
  • The Arm of the Sphinx
  • The Hod King
  • The Fall of Babel

Critic reviews

"Josiah Bancroft is a magician. His books are that rare alchemy: gracefully written, deliriously imaginative, action-packed, warm, witty and thought-provoking." (Madeline Miller, author of Circe)

"The Books of Babel are something you hope to see perhaps once a decade - future classics, which may be remembered long after the series concludes." (LA Times)

what a great series of books and I honestly could not tell you which in the series was my favourite

the characters are so well fleshed out and drawn as well as the steam punk type backdrop of the world gets you conjuring so many images

but over all great story well worth the investment

end of a great ride

I finished the final book a week ago! It has taken me this long to come to terms with the end of this quartet, one I have been listening to and waiting for, for the last three years! The writing is sublime, the plot unexpected and the characters have become real! I couldn’t believe the narrator when the next words were ‘The End’ . I really did shout out ‘Noooo!’. Do I start trolling Mr Bancroft for another book? Or come to terms with this lot? All I can say is I felt real loss at the end. and I suppose that is a barometer of a good book or books! Read and enjoy! Everyone is a gem!

Loss, grief and in mourning!

Excellent set of books, interesting characters and an enjoyably ordinary protagonist that we can all see a bit of ourselves in!

A strong end to a strong series
