At the Edge: A life in search of challenge By Stephen J. Trafton Amazon Digital Services LLC, $37.50 paperback, $7.49 eBook Reviewed by Regina Koellner To say Stephen Trafton led an interesting life would be an understatement.

Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft Publishing information: Kindle Publisher: Createspace 13 Feb 2013 ISBN: 9781482590951 Series: The books of Babel #1 Copy: Out of pocket Reviewer: Tyson Amazon Synopsis:"Senlin, a mild-mannered school teacher, is drawn to the Tower of Babel by the grandiose promises of a guidebook. The ancient and immense Tower seems the perfect destination for a honeymoon. But soon after arriving, Senlin loses his young wife, Marya, in the crowd. Senlin’s search for Marya carries him through slums and theaters, prisons and ballrooms. He must survive betrayal, assassination, and the long guns of a flying fortress.
