"In 2020, eleven years after the passengers of flight BA142 from London to Delhi developed extraordinary abilities corresponding to their innermost desires, the world is overrun with supers. Some use their powers for good, others for evil, and some just want to pulverize iconic monuments and star in their own reality show. But now, from New York to Tokyo, someone is hunting down supers, killing heroes and villains both, and it’s up to the Unit to stop them..."

Review:
Adept plotting keeps all these globe-spanning threads spooling smoothly, and meticulous blocking gives the dazzling action sequences a cinematic bravura, A confident witty approach to Basu's awkwardly heroic characters is the most striking enhancement to the series, elevating this instalment well above its predecesor - Publishers Weekly (starred review) The characters are brilliantly written [and] the cinematic action sequences are breathtaking. -IGN on Turbulence

Prepare to have your puny Earth-brain blown out the back of your head as Samit Basu takes the idea of superheroes and turns the dial up to 11 - Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of the Peter Grant series

For wicked wit, for post-modern superheroics, for sheer verbal energy and dazzle, Samit Basu doesn't so much push the envelope as fold it into an n-dimensional hyper-envelope, address it to your hind-brain and mail it with a rail gun.- Mike Carey, writer of X-Men and Lucifer

Solid writing, great character development, humor, personal loss, and excellent points to ponder in every chapter. Wired on Turbulence

Snappy and clever. --Publishers Weekly on Turbulence

"I can t recommend this novel enough simply for the engaging plot, but Basu is obviously breaking new ground, especially for American audiences, in uniting international contexts, a diverse array of characters from multiple nations, and the genre of speculative fiction. This novel is certainly one to add to your reading list, or if you re an instructor, your syllabus!" --Asian American Lit Fans

"If you read Turbulence and enjoyed it, just know you ll love this one, too. And if you haven t discovered either book, you re in for a great ride." --Geek Dad

"A great tale and entertaining from beginning to end." ----Starburst Magazine

"the perfect balance of witty, action-packed, self-referential, and strangely real given the premise. If there is a better series out there about post-modern superheroics, I have yet to see it." ----Playlist

Grand Eagle Retail

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When Aman Sen gets off a plane from London to Delhi he discovers that he, and everyone on his flight, now has extraordinary abilities corresponding to their innermost desires. Aman wants to heal the planet but with each step he takes, he finds helping some means harming others. Will it all end, as 80 years of super-hero fiction suggest, in a meaningless, explosive slugfest? Several years after the events of "Turbulence," when the passengers of flight BA142 from London to Delhi disembarked the plane to discover they possessed extraordinary powers linked to their innermost desires, "Resistance" transports the blockbuster action to New York, and introduces a brand-new cast of super-powered characters. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781781162491
