Book One on Amazon and Audible April 23rd!
Welcome to the Tower, Climbers. Try not to die on the first day.
Dirk was America's golden boy. Olympic golds, Wheaties box—the works.That was ten years ago. Turns out going to prison is terrible for sponsorships. Now, he's alone, a felony on his record, and bitter at the world.Enter the Tower of Conflict.Just what a man needs to get out of a rut—the end of the world and a Tower to Climb. Aided by his talking goose companion, magical cape, and the Goddess of Fate herself, Dirk is primed to take this Tower by storm.He was always more of a lone wolf, but when the competing alien races start smacking humanity around the Tower, he'll be forced to lean on his teammates, unlock new magic, and broker reluctant alliances.Because if he doesn't, humanity is doomed...
What to expect:
* Limited time loops with stakes. New paths and branching decisions as he discovers more of the Tower.
* MC starts out bitter/snarky, but is forced to mature and grow into leadership role.
* Fast progression but not overpowered. Runs into powerful enemies and factions that he has to handle strategically.
* Blend of comical relief and emotional stakes. It's silly, it's serious, and you never know who you'll end up rooting for!
