Resurgent British rock star Colin Elliot's jubilant return home to England with Laurel Chandler, his American bride-to-be, is impacted by sudden personal loss and deeply divisive controversy. Given a special set of circumstances, Amanda Hobbs, Laurel's former assistant, solidifies her place in the music industry by convincing Colin and his embittered bandmates to reunite for an all-star event and subsequent 23-date tour of Europe. Nate Isaacs, Colin's former manager, maintains a low profile due to his acrimonious split with Colin, but not so low that he doesn't begin to appreciate Amanda for more than her obvious talents, or so distant that he doesn't again harbor grave concerns for Colin's safety. When Nate's concerns are given a name and face-as well as basis for belief-his fears are conveyed to Laurel, who demands increased security for Colin at a seemingly high cost. Hoople Jakeway, perverted champion of Aurora, Colin's late wife, is festering in New Jersey without a passport or the means to acquire one. At a peak moment of happiness, Colin and Laurel are again impacted by an event with far-reaching consequences. Riveting dialogue and strongly defined characters continue to provoke and challenge in this follow-up to Mayle's scintillating debut. Resurgence will leave you breathless for the third and final installment of the Second Chances Trilogy.
