A mysterious tower appears in the sky above England. Since neither the military nor any other form of investigation with drones, helicopters, cameras etc reveals anything about the tower, the British do what they do best: Carry on. Then a "countdown" appears on the outside of the tower, as well as the word 'Ascend' and thirteen people from all works of life are beamed onto the base of the tower. ⬇️

The story has good pacing, the action is good too, yet throughout the book I was expecting a different twist on what I had read and seen before. Sadly plot and characters were rather basic, stereotypical even. To me it was a mix of "Arrival", "Saw", "Cube", "Resident Evil",...
