‘Instantly immersive and compelling, rich and strange, human and humane, and most of all inspiring … an extraordinary story. ’
LEE CHILD
‘A polemical thriller like no other, an absorbing manifesto to change the world. It constantly surprises. Manda Scott’s characters play havoc with your emotions, her narrative keeps you turning the pages, and her ideas might just change your life.’
ANDREW TAYLOR, AUTHOR OF THE SHADOWS OF LONDON
‘The critical task in present times is to find a way out of the world-destroying political status quo. To make that happen we first have to imagine how it could happen. In Any Human Power, Manda Scott uses her own supreme imaginative powers as a novel is t to open windows into the flow of possibilities.’
CHRIS SMAJE, AUTHOR OF A SMALL FARM FUTURE

‘This book brilliantly depicts the frightening reality facing those who mobilise against a violent global establishment. However, instead of regarding cosmic and spiritual forces as separate from politics, this book transforms our sense of what is possible.’
