Tell me Daniel, can you kill a god?

A tower, perched on the edge of infinity.
A man, doomed to wander its floors eternally.
A mission, where the balance of the world is at stake.

Daniel is a trapped soul. His life has one purpose—survive floor after floor of enemies determined to destroy him. But when a Dark Lord with his own agenda arrives offering a second chance at life, everything changes.

Bestowed the Godhand, Daniel has but one mission: Survive and climb the tower to overthrow its master and claim the tower as his own.

But the journey will be perilous.

Every floor of the tower contains unique challenges. Each revealing apocalyptic perversions of humanity.
In the monster ridden realm of Pandemonium, Daniel has but one choice. He must become one.

He must become a monster.

Yes. I can.

This was a really interesting start to a series and the fact it started in the modern era was an unexpected delight. Can’t wait to read the next one.

What a great first book

Tower of ruin follows in the footsteps of a couple of other tower climbing books I've read, most notably reborn Apocalypse. It's a little weird to me when authors choose to go with common tropes rather than do something original but I guess there's also a reason why these premises become tropes, being that it's a quick way to get someone into a story.

I like Reborn but I think this book is much better written which also makes it a bit of a shame how short it is. It has the length of a novella or very long short story but it feels like neither. It just feels like the first third of a book that's waiting to be continued. The nice thing about novellas and short stories is that that they usually have a clear beginning, middle and end, and due to their length they really pack a punch if they're done right. TOR does manage to pack a lot of good stuff in there but there's no real end, just a to be continued...

All that said, if you have money to burn or credits to spend, the story's worth it. Personally I hope the next book will be longer because otherwise I'll probably wait for it to be put in a publishers pack.

Travis Baldree does a great job narrating as usual.

Great novella/first third of a book

I really enjoy novels in this genre and this book did not disappoint. Narration was excellent as always from anything Travis Baldree. One complaint would have to be how short it was, but still thoroughly enjoyed.

Great regressor novel

Really good so far I feel like I'm already invested, but I just finished listening to a 28 hour book, so this felt laughably short, I wouldn't say it's worth a credit unless you have nothing else to spend it on, hopefully more will get released soon, otherwise I'd suggest at least waiting for for book 2 and some story progression.

Too short
