Hell is rising in San Francisco...
Former Navy SEAL Feroz "Roz" Mehran has already been through hell. Disgraced, broken, and living on the streets, Roz has one goal left: prove he can be a father to his 11-year-old daughter before he loses her forever. When a billionaire philanthropist's suspicious death triggers an invitation to compete in a high-stakes leadership contest, he's skeptical. But it might just be his last chance to fix his future. The contest's venue is an Art Deco skyscraper, transformed into a modern-day gauntlet inspired by Dante's
Inferno. Nine levels. The prize: leadership of the mysterious Plek Foundation and its world-changing technology.
Joined by an unlikely few -a fellow veteran with a penchant for bad jokes, a former diplomat haunted by a tragic past, and a retired military working dog - Roz climbs through circle after circle of engineered hell.
What begins as an eccentric selection process soon turns deadly when a shadowy military contractor infiltrates the game, determined to steal the foundation's research into enhancing human perception. Traps and predatory drones lurk in the darkness. Fellow contestants begin dying.
Each floor tests not just his combat skills, but the very qualities of his soul. Grit. Ingenuity. Empathy. Sacrifice. For a man who has lost everything, these trials might just rekindle the warrior he thought he'd buried. But first he has to survive all nine circles of hell.
In the Infernal Tower, the only way is through.
