Austin Feckidee wants to make it as an artist. He has the talent, the grant, and the studio space in the city. If only he could shake his past—the strange work he did with a few friends at an abandoned church in the countryside.
Now, that past is staring him in the face again. Stella, the ringleader of the old operation, has sent him a letter begging him to return to the work that failed utterly three years ago. Should he answer her call to be a servant, or should he stay and pursue the heights of his own artistic genius? His decision might just change the world, or show him who he really is—or both.
The Tower of Babel Vaulan Cycle Book 1 eBook G T Anders
Austin's POV was very interesting because Austin is grappling with issues that are very complex. He is human and believable. He becomes addicted to this leaf from a plant. He gets so absorbed in this addiction that he doesn't really treat his girlfriend very well.But his girlfriend Jessica realizes that Austin has stumbled into something that will make him lots of money and so she becomes his marketing agent. The leaf causes him to do very amazing sculpture (you'll have to read to find out how amazing) A very interesting tension is set up.
Austin goes back and forth between his apartment and this place out in the country somewhere called L'Hermitage, with the abandoned church. The descriptions of sitting around drinking tea or beer at this beautiful spot in the country are very rustic and descriptive.
They also begin to lead to unfolding depths of his other friends, Stella, Gaddo and Israel. These four know about the tower of Babel and that a big cleansing is coming for the earth.
There is a little bit of romantic interest in the tail, but I can't give away too much. But love and friendship are all challenged to the max.
They also know that this plant Austin is addicted to can lead you and other worlds via fold travel. And they have lost Israel's daughter Miranda to this. Someone has to go back into the fold travel (cool concept: fold travel-- something you can do when you're eating the plant) and try to rescue her.
At first, you think that Austin is just too drugged up to be a good guy. But as the plot unfolds, you realize that he has some really good qualities underneath it all.
He ends up going to see the construction of the huge (imagine more gigantic than anything now on earth) tower and its multi-trillionair mogul Gilgamesh.
There is much in this story that might cause someone from the hippie generation to say, "wow, man, psychedelic!" But I found that if I write read through these almost supernatural sections in one sitting, they were very interesting paintings of images, patterns and had a beauty to them.
This book is probably not much like anything else out there. Very fresh. Like going to the garden and picking some kale and putting it in the fridge with water for an hour then eating it. Fresh!

The Tower of Babel Vaulan Cycle Book 1 eBook G T Anders Reviews
Really a 3.5 stars - with qualifiers
It was with a mixture of intrigue and excitement that I started reading this work.That was soon replaced with a degree of irritation. Usually a book needs to capture and hold my attention within the first 100 pages to make me want to read it through to its conclusion. A writer will do this by having a plot, a "punchy" attention grabbing style coupled with a hint of things to come to ignite the wish of the reader to want to `see' the outcome.
The plot and concept is good, hence my initial excitement and interest. Anders has a way and passion with words, and herein lay the source of irritation for me. Whilst I could appreciate his way with words, its usage in the timing and the context of the book was {IMHO} not appropriate.
Instead of holding my attention and wanting to turn the page to see what happens next, I found the "play" of descriptive words off- putting. As a result, I found myself able to put this effort down and walk away and not want to bother to return to it. To do so to a book is foreign to my nature. So I persisted with it.
As said the plot was good, inspired by the biblical tale of The Tower of Babel. Basically, the story is told from the perspective of one character named Austin. He and a group of friends /colleagues are seeking for a means to return individuality and humanity back into a society that to all intents has become clone-like and geared to the aspirations and objectives of a select elite few.
The writer's style, instead of providing a smooth flow through the narrative, had me `kangaroo hopping' through the pages. Other than that grumble, it was a good effort. However, should he persist with this style in the second book, I wouldn't guarantee finishing it.
The usage of words like Babylon and Vaulan had me thinking a little of the plot lines of the Sci-Fi series Babylon 5 by book's end. I feel that the writer has the makings of a good series if he can but temper the level and placement of his descriptive paragraphs.
An eBook copy of the book was provided by the author for purpose of honest review. No compensation was provided for this review all conclusions are my own responsibilities.
Really enjoyed this book. Anders weaves a tale that continually surprises and challenges us. You will be confused at the beginning of this book, yet captivated by the beautiful writing and the longing to make of sense of this strange world Anders creates. Looking forward to more from this author.
I totally enjoyed reading The Tower of Babel by G. T. Anders.
It is the story of Austin Feckidee. He is a young man who 'knew' that he was nothing. This is set in 1967 'somewhere' in North America, in and near the city of Babylon where the tower of Babel is being built. Austin has a choice to make. His old friends and the mission they all started long ago or possible fame, fortune, and all that goes with it. The choices made by Austin (or for him by others) is interesting. The Author skillfully portrayed the human-ness of Austin's struggles. The story was woven skillfully. I had to see what happened.
I look forward to more books by G. T. Anders and I will buy them.
I whole-heartedly recommend this to anyone.
I was hoping for some historical fiction on the Tower of Babel, but was not too surprised to find a modern day sci-fi allegory. That I could not follow. But I probably only could not get into it (but I honestly feel I tried to give it a chance) because it ended up not being what I was interested in reading! I'm sure a sci-fi allegory fan would enjoy it. I think. I could not tell.
I guess I'm not reviewing the book so much as to say, if your looking for a historical fiction story on the Tower of Babel, this is not it!
Austin's POV was very interesting because Austin is grappling with issues that are very complex. He is human and believable. He becomes addicted to this leaf from a plant. He gets so absorbed in this addiction that he doesn't really treat his girlfriend very well.
