It is funny how the book is called The Two Towers, despite the fact that the reader is usually up to his ascots in Towers.

I think Orthanc and Cirith Ungol. The journeys in Book 3 lead to Orthanc. The journey in Book 4 leads to Cirith Ungol. Those are the two towers where our heroes end up. The Two Towers as a single book is centred around those progressions.
