Resilient: The Fractal Series, cartea 2
Autor Allen Strouden Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 apr 2022
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. This is therefore the coveted second book in Allen Stroud’s epic science fiction trilogy, The Fractal Series, which features the novels: ‘Fearless’, ‘Resilient’ and ‘Vigilance’.

Recenzii
"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 worldbuilding and three-dimensional characters."
Praise for Book 1, FEARLESS:“Fast-paced, gripping hard SF with death in hard vacuum waiting at every turn.” — Arthur C. Clarke Award winner Adrian Tchaikovsky"Gripping, intense, military SF. Stunning and urgent." — Anna Smith Spark, author of the Empires of Dust series“Space battles, sabotage, and treachery envelop a gripping whodunit, as Captain Ellisa Shann strives to identify a murderer among her crew and save her ship, the Khidr, from imminent destruction. Fearless is a fabulous read from a writer who knows how to deliver.” — Ian Whates, Author of Dark Angels Rising and 2019 Winner of the Karl Edward Wagner Award“Fearless is a brilliant achievement, and one of the best science-fiction novels I have read in a very long time." — The Sci-fi and Fantasy Reviewer"The depths of outer space test the strength of a dynamic heroine’s inner resolve in Stroud’s smart, introspective space opera set in the year 2118.

This is one to be savored." — Publishers Weekly Starred ReviewRigorous hard SF with a powerful but flawed protagonist and a fascinating historical background, 'Fearless' is a treat for just about any Analog reader." — Analog Science Fiction & Fact“A wonderful, modern, inclusive and clever science fiction that deserves to be a part of anyone’s collection.” — SF Book"[Allen Stroud] also brings a Clarkian feel that grounds the story in the best tradition of science fiction.
