Following hot on the heels of the January release of Senlin Ascends, the first of Josiah Bancroft's Books of Babel, comes the second instalment, Arm of The Sphinx. Originally self-published, Josiah's books are now reaching a huge audience via Hachette, which is part of the vast Little, Brown Group, and receiving the attention and appreciation they richly deserve.
I've read a number of reviews for the books and they been universally positive. I can only hope that my telling of the stories in audiobook format do them justice! I've included a short audio sample from Arm of The Sphinx, which appears below, along with further details of the story:
"Forced by necessity into a life of piracy,
Senlin and his eclectic crew struggle to survive aboard their stolen
airship. Senlin's search for his lost wife continues, even as her ghost
haunts his every step. But the Tower of Babel proves to be as difficult
to reenter as it was to escape.
In desperation, he turns to a rumoured legend of
the tower, the mysterious and dangerous Sphinx. But help from the
Sphinx does not come cheaply, and one of his crew already knows the
terrible cost."

"Like its predecessor, it is a brilliant piece
of work...these two books are genius. I just love them. The story,
characters and imagination shine." (Mark Lawrence)
...all for now, more just as soon as it happens!
