Samit Basu Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

"She’d decided, that night, that she wouldn’t leave. That she would stay in India, in Delhi, and belong as hard as she could..." Joey is a Reality Controller, in charge of the livestream of a charismatic and problematic celebrity in smog-choked, water-short, ever-transforming Delhi - a city on the brink of revolution, under the shadow of multiple realities and catastrophes - at the end of the 2020s. When Joey impulsively rescues a childhood friend, Rudra, from his new-elite family and the comfortable, horrific life they have chosen for him, she sets into motion a chain of events — a company takeover, a sex scandal, a series of betrayals — that disintegrates not just their public and private selves, but the invisible walls that divide the city around them. To find the lives they need, Joey and Rudra must reckon with people and forces beyond their understanding, in a world where trust is impossible, popularity is conformity, and every wall has eyes. CHOSEN SPIRITS is a near-future anti-dystopian novel by Indian sf/fantasy pioneer Samit Basu, the bestselling, critically acclaimed, internationally published, genre-redefining author of The Simoqin Prophecies, Turbulence, and many others.

From international bestseller Samit Basu, an exuberant new sci-fi adventure with heart that reads like a mash-up of Aladdin and Murderbot—with gloriously chaotic results Shantiport was supposed to be a gateway to the stars. But the city is sinking, and its colonist rulers aren’t helping anyone but themselves. Lina, a daughter of failed revolutionaries, has no desire to escape Shantiport. She loves her city and would do anything to save its people. This is, in fact, the plan for her life, made before she was even born. Her brother, Bador, is a small monkey bot with a big attitude and bigger ambitions. He wants a chance to leave this dead-end planet and explore the universe on his own terms. But that would mean abandoning the family he loves—even if they do take him for granted. When Shantiport's resident tech billionaire coerces Lina into retrieving a powerful artifact rumored to be able to reshape reality, forces from before their time begin coalescing around the siblings. And when you throw in a piece of sentient, off-world tech with the ability to grant three wishes into the mix... None of the city's powers will know what hit them.

Die Prophezeiungen berichten vom Erwachen des schrecklichen Rakshas Danh-Gem und von der Ankunft eines Helden, der sich ihm entgegenstellen wird.

Wer ist der prophezeite Retter – und wer Vernichter der Welt? Samit Basu führt in eine nie gekannte Welt der fliegenden Teppiche, rosa Trolle, Bauchtänzerinnen und mörderischen Kaninchen.
