Reseñas editoriales

"Inventive and very clever. But most of all, it is fun. If you have ever picked up a comic book and enjoyed it, then this is a must-buy." (Starburst)

Resumen del Editor

Aman Sen is smart, young, ambitious and going nowhere. He thinks this is because he doesn’t have the right connections, but then he gets off a plane from London to Delhi and discovers that he has turned into a communications demigod. Indeed, everyone on Aman’s flight now has extraordinary abilities corresponding to their innermost desires. Vir, an Air Force pilot, can now fly. Uzma, an aspiring Bollywood actress, now possesses infinite charisma. And then there's Jai, an indestructible one-man army with a good old-fashioned goal: to rule the world!

Aman wants to ensure that their new powers aren't wasted on costumed crime-fighting, celebrity endorsements, or reality television. He wants to heal the planet, but with each step he takes, he finds helping some means harming others. Will it all end, as 80 years of superhero fiction suggest, in a meaningless, explosive slugfest?

Turbulence features the 21st-century Indian subcontinent in all its insane glory: F-16s, Bollywood, radical religious parties, nuclear plants, cricket, terrorists, luxury resorts, crazy TV shows, but it is essentially about two very human questions: How would you feel if you actually got what you wanted? And what would you do if you could really change the world?

Good book Concept

I like Sci-fi, but this book used too many sexist characterizations to hold my attention. The female characters were more stereotypes than people. Although the original concept is imaginative the storyline failed to deliver.

Super

If Indian fiction isn't a genre than Samit Basu has created it.

Revolving around the lives of passengers who were on a flight and somehow gain super powers, this book spins an interesting and entertaining yarn. The characters are likable, the powers are creative and although cliche at times, the book knows this and pokes fun at itself.

It's a quick listen and Ramon Tikaram does an excellent narration.

If you enjoy this book I recommend checking out Basu' other series The Gameworld trilogy. Also read by Ramon Tikaram.
