Turbulence is out in the US

And here we go. Aman, Jai and co are in the superhero homeland. Who knows what happens to them there.

(Well, storywise I do, and it’s all written out in Resistance, large parts of which are set in New York, but that’s some way away yet.)

Excerpts:

Shakefire (Ch.1)

MSN Entertainment (Ch. 2)

MTV (Ch. 4)

Here’s the first lot of American reviews. So much relief and gratitude:

“Turbulence has it all… Solid writing, great character development, humor, personal loss, and excellent points to ponder in every chapter.” – Wired

” …not only should it be the frontrunner in terms of superhero prose going forward, but it might just be a dark horse candidate for genre novel of the year.” – Fruitless Pursuits

“The writing is superb, the characters feel real… I literally had to shut myself in a room during the finale, it was that riveting.’ – GeekNutz

“Set in a raucous India and packed with strange characters, Turbulence promises an exciting, unusual read.” – Book Riot

“Basu doesn’t simply take Turbulence to comic book places as it reads and feels like a novel throughout. However, if you’re a fan of comics, this book would certainly still quench your literary thirst.” – Immersion Online

“There is a lot of humor here as well as heart; it’s a great character study… The characters are very likable and Samit cleverly addresses many loopholes in typical superhero plots. I really enjoyed this from start to finish, clever, funny, witty and a great read.” – City of Films

“Samit Basu has written a rare beast among spec-fic books – a book that’s both about something important, and a good story on its own merits.” – Dorkadia

“‘Turbulence’ is entertaining and full of funny, knowing witticisms that could only come from a genuine, longtime fan of comics and superheroes. Besides, it’s refreshing to see the fate of the world, for once, hang in the balance of non-Western characters.” – Pop Mythology

“What makes Turbulence such ideal holiday reading is author Basu’s brisk-paced writing style as well as the novel’s Indian setting and characters…” – Scifi Movie Hype

Here’s a video review from Geek Mundo. My first, and I couldn’t have asked for a better one.

Will update as more come in.
