Turbulence
Aman Sen, a young and ambitious man, feels stuck in his life. After a flight from London to Delhi, he discovers he has gained extraordinary communication abilities. It turns out everyone on his plane now possesses unique powers, each reflecting their deepest desires. Aman must navigate this new reality where ordinary people have become demigods.
Turbulence is the first book in a series, and while it introduces the world and characters, it sets up a larger narrative that continues in subsequent volumes. Readers will benefit from starting with this book to fully understand the unfolding events and character developments.
Turbulence marks a significant shift in Samit Basu's writing, moving from the fantasy satire of his earlier Gameworld Trilogy into a more contemporary superhero narrative. While distinct in setting and characters, it retains his characteristic blend of social commentary and imaginative world-building.
