"Stroud raises fascinating questions about the politics of space
exploration." - Publishers Weekly. The follow-up to the hugely
successful Fearless ("...a treat for just about any Analog reader." -
AnalogSF)
"Resilient is one of those incredibly rare things - a sequel that
actually improves on its predecessor. Stroud presents us with a complex,
multifaceted science-fiction experience that offers a deeply compelling
narrative, interlaced with rich and complex world-building and
three-dimensional characters." -- The Sci-Fi & Fantasy Reviewer
AD 2118. Humanity has colonised the Moon, Mars, Ceres and Europa. The
partnership of corporations and governments has energized the space
programme for one hundred years.
That partnership is shattered when a terrorist attack destroys the
world's biggest solar array in Atacama, Chile, altering the global
economic balance.
On Mars, at Phobos Station, Doctor Emerson Drake arrives, responding to
an emergency call to assist a shuttle of wounded miners, but when those
miners turn out to be insurgents, Drake realises he is trapped and
fighting to survive.
In deep space, Captain Ellisa Shann has passed her limits. Now, the last
survivors of the Khidr have to choose whether to try to get home on the
captured ship, Gallowglass, or stay to observe the strange gravity
anomaly that swallowed up the remains of their vessel.
On Earth, in an undisclosed location, Natalie Holder finally has an
opportunity to break free from her confinement, where she has been
experimented on, multiple times. Her consciousness is transmitted to
Phobos Station, just as insurgents take over the facility.
Holder and Drake form an alliance but are separated. Drake is captured
and taken to the insurgent leader - Rocher - a clone of the stowaway who
caused the munity on Captain Shann's Khidr.
Allen Stroud's Resilient is a masterpiece of hard sci-fi, a worthy
follow up from events of his successful and highly-praised Flame Tree
Press debut, Fearless.
