Resilient Book - Flame Tree Publishing

“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 responds to a distress call from a damaged miner shuttle, but when the miners turn out to be rebels, Drake realizes he is trapped and fights for survival.

In distant 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 ship.

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 the rebels take over 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, led by Captain Shann.

Resilient by Allen Stroud is a masterpiece of hard science fiction, worthy of continuation from his successful and highly acclaimed debut Flame Tree Press, Fearless.
