About this listen

As Lan lies dying, she makes a promise that binds her long into the Beyond. Fifteen years later, her teenage granddaughter, Kaitlyn, triggers an international storm of outrage that unleashes the rage of a whole betrayed generation. For one shining fragment of time, the world is with her. But then the backlash begins and soon she and those closest to her find themselves facing the wrath of the old establishment, who will use every dirty trick in the book to fight them off.

Watching over the growing chaos is Lan, who taught them all to think independently, approach power sceptically and dream with clear intent. She knows more than one generation’s hopes are on the line. Nothing less than the future of humanity stands in the balance.

Critic reviews

‘Any Human Power is a polemical thriller like no other ... 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)
‘Instantly immersive and compelling, rich and strange, human and humane, and most of all inspiring ... an extraordinary story.’ (Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author)
‘Any Human Power is an extraordinary, ground-breaking, high-wire act of a novel ... I wasn't just gripped all the way through, but moved, uplifted and energised by Scott’s wild, vast, brave and tangible vision of the possible.' (Liz Jensen, author of Your Wild and Precious Life)
'The most exciting, involving thriller I’ve read in an age, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.' (Mick Herron, award-winning author of the Slough House series)

Such an interesting weaving of shamanic dreaming, life between/after death and politics. Not my usual read, but absolutely loved it. Loved so many characters in this book. Really enjoyed the descriptions of the dreaming. Was fascinated by the possibilities that were explored in the book for how the current systems could be changed,

Fascinating and inspiring

A thrilling story, full of hope for a future that could be possible. The story, narration and pace are all excellent- I couldn’t pull myself away. I love that this speaks to the problems our society faces and is a roadmap to a new way of operating as well as being a great read in its own right. Highly recommended!

Absolutely brilliant!

Wonderfully written, between today’s reality, polarities, digital life and threads of possibilities. “Any Human Power” is the story of a movement that almost accidentally forms around a teenager who speaks out and causes a huge stir on the web.
An epic family narrative unfolds as a story of courage and determination among people with normal lives and ethereal dreamscapes. It got me hooked from the first chapter!

I want to read it again! Just so compelling and inspiring
