“Stroud raises fascinating questions about space exploration policy” – Publisher's Weekly

AD 2118. Humanity has colonized the Moon, Mars, Ceres, and Europa. The partnership between corporations and governments has driven the space program for a hundred years.

This partnership is broken when a terrorist attack destroys the world's largest solar panel in Atacama, Chile, shifting the global economic balance.

On Mars, at Phobos Station, Dr. Emerson Drake arrives in response to a distress call from a shuttle carrying injured miners. But when these miners turn out to be rebels, Drake realizes he is trapped and must fight to survive.

In deep space, Captain Ellisa Shann has crossed her limits. Now, the last survivors from Khidr must decide whether to try to return home on the captured Gallowglass ship or stay to observe a strange gravitational anomaly that has consumed the wreckage of their vessel.

On Earth, in an undisclosed location, Natalie Holder finally has the chance to escape from the prison where she was repeatedly experimented on. Her consciousness is transferred to Phobos Station as rebels seize the facility.

The Possessor and Drake form an alliance but are separated. Drake is captured and taken to the rebel leader – Rocher – a clone of the stowaway who caused the mutiny on Khidr, Captain Shann.

“Resistant” by Stroud is a masterpiece of hard science fiction, worthy of continuing the events from his successful and highly acclaimed debut, *Fearless*, published by Flame Tree Press.
