Any Human Power by Manda Scott
Manda Scott, an award-winning novelist and host of the acclaimed Accidental Gods podcast, recently released new novel ANY HUMAN POWER. Any Human Power is a Thrutopian / Contemporary Fantasy / Political Thriller aimed to craft a path through from exactly where we are to a flourishing future that we'd be proud to leave behind to the generations that come after us and for those who will inherit the planet after we die.
How do you help the people you love create a future you’re proud to leave behind?
From Sunday Times bestselling author Manda Scott comes a visionary new fantasy thriller.
From a bestselling storyteller who brings together myths and speculative futures with a radical compassion, comes the story of a family at the heart of a political crisis and the ensuing uprising of a disenfranchised generation. A family that harnesses the skills and stories needed for real change, if they can choose the right path, before it is too late …
As Lan lies dying, she makes a promise that binds her long into the Beyond. Fifteen years later, her teenage granddaughter, Kaitlyn, triggers an international storm of outrage that unleashes the rage of a whole betrayed generation. For one shining fragment of time, the world is with her. But then the backlash begins and soon she and those closest to her find themselves facing the wrath of the old establishment, who will use every dirty trick in the book to fight them off.
Watching over the growing chaos is Lan, who taught them all to think independently, approach power sceptically and dream with clear intent. She knows more than one generation’s hopes are on the line. Nothing less than the future of humanity stands in the balance.
Grand in scope, rich in courageous characters who breathe new life into ancient wisdom, here is a dream of a better future: a world we’d be proud to leave to our children and their children and on, generations down the line.
"Instantly immersive and compelling, rich and strange, human and humane, and most of all inspiring ... an extraordinary story." -Lee Child
'One of our best, most challenging authors is back ...' -Ian Rankin
