File Under: Science Fiction
When a mysterious tower appears in the skies over England, thirteen strangers are pulled from their lives to stand before it as a countdown begins. Above the doorway is one word: ASCEND.
As a grieving teacher, a reclusive artist, and a narcissistic celebrity children’s author, lead the others in trying to understand why they’ve been chosen and what the tower is, it soon becomes clear the only way out of this for everyone… is up.
And so begins a race to the top, through sinking ships, haunted houses and other waking nightmares, as the group fights to hold onto its humanity, while the twisted horror of why they’re here grows ever more apparent – and death stalks their every move.
“The Way Up is Death is quintessential Dan Hanks: a nonstop bonkers adventure that gets you laughing just hard enough so you won’t see it coming when it stabs you in the heart.”
– Chris Panatier, author of The Phlebotomist, Stringers and The Redemption of Morgan Bright
“Dan Hanks has done it again with The Way Up is Death – a book which crosses all the excitement of your favorite video game with the heart of your favorite quest novel. Definitely his best book yet!”
– Ginger Smith, author of The Rush’s Edge
“The Way Up is Death is a masterful thrill ride of a novel. The kind of book with enough mystery and action to keep you reading into the wee hours of the morning just to find out WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. Full of characters you will love and characters you will love to hate, it is also a profoundly human story about grief and loneliness, friendship and love, courage and cowardice, selfishness and sacrifice. This book will break you and put you back together again and I loved every moment of it.”
– Sarah J. Daley, author of Obsidian
