{"product_id":"2940014145770","title":"The Tower","description":"A new skyscraper rises from a tumultuous city amid wealth, poverty, love, longing, revolution and tragedy. The structure is: The Tower.\u003cbr\u003eA novel based on a tarot card? Believe it. The result is unforgiving drama and unparalleled excitement, like nothing you've ever read.\u003cbr\u003eA mysterious radio host becomes involved with an Occupy-like group of anarchists plotting a demonstration against a spectacular new football stadium. Conflicts and revelations follow.\u003cbr\u003eThis fast-paced novel reads as easily as genre fiction, yet it also contains deep symbolism, meaning, intelligence-- and the violent clash of opposing ideas. All plot lines seem to lead toward mystery and madness. \u003cbr\u003eThe Tower is Gatsby-sized and Gatsby-concise, done in three parts. The characters and action of the story are focused on a central personality. The dominating question: Who is Lara Vox? The narrative moves quickly toward an unstoppable finale. The book is as well-constructed as a chess game. Every incident sets up an emotionally-wrenching ending.\u003cbr\u003eThe main characters:\u003cbr\u003eLara Vox: dynamic radio host.\u003cbr\u003eRick Romeo: arrogant head of stadium security.\u003cbr\u003eMiles Milbank: handsome young anarchist leader.\u003cbr\u003eArthur Tychon: billionaire football team owner.\u003cbr\u003eBobo: hyper sports mascot.\u003cbr\u003eAlso involved in the drama are various revolutionaries, athletes, and musicians. Settings range from a football practice field to an urban jazz club, to an underground revolutionary meeting spot, to the top of a towering skyscraper. The scope of the book is great. The novel is topical and relevant, depicting the noise, striving, and chaos of America now.\u003cbr\u003eAction, drama, pathos: The Tower is the ultimate reading experience.","brand":"American Pop Lit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121217913072,"sku":"2940014145770","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014145770_p0.jpg?v=1763601620","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014145770","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
