Oltre alla storia ben scritta credo che un punto di forza del romanzo siano i personaggi. Spesso in romanzi come questo, un po' alla Dan Brown, i personaggi fanno semplicemente da sfondo alla vicenda, invece in questo caso essi sono parte integrante della storia, inoltre sono caratterizzati benissimo e questo contribuisce alla buona riuscita del romanzo!

Holy Crap, what a bad book. No, I mean REALLY bad. And what's really bad is that it has the makings of a very good story, buried deep inside itself. Davies, Hannah J; Abbott, Kate (23 August 2021).

La Torre di Ruin è un thriller a sfondo storico/religioso che mi ha lontanamente ricordato i libri di Dan Brown. In the USA, newly qualified FBI agent Joe Shepherd investigates the disappearance of NASA’s most senior professor. Is it a vanishing act, or something darker? Shepherd’s investigation approaches a powerful conspiracy with a global reach, and profound consequences.

The writing style took some getting used to; it's a bit more over-the-top than a modern book would be. The building on fire is compared to a living “breathing” thing, with a steel "skeleton" and shiny "skin," and it's “in torment” from the fire. This sort of flowery prose is not an approach that I see all that often, and it might be off-putting for some.

DS Collins—described by The Guardian 's Hollie Richardson as "a heavy-sighing, perma-frown primetime detective" [7] and an "outlier and an outsider" [8]—is a Detective Sergeant from the Directorate of Special Investigations.

The Tower takes place on the day of the opening of the World Tower in New York City. The World Tower – not to be confused with the World Trade Center, located nearby – is the tallest building in the world, and to celebrate its dedication, there is going to be a party on the very tippy-top, with the builder, the mayor, the governor, the senator, a congressman, some guy from the United Nations…well, you get the picture. The only character worth mentioning is the governor, simply because he meets a young lady at the party and falls instantly, deeply in love, a relationship that is stunningly fake, yet does not even make the top-ten list of dumb things in this book.
