About the book:

How would you feel if you got what you really wanted? What would you do if you were given the power to change the world?

Everyone on BA flight 142 from London to Delhi got off it with a unique superpower. A power they didn`t even know they wanted. Everyone, that is, who`s still alive. Because someone is hunting down the passengers.

And now Aman Sen`s ragtag collective of rogue superhumans is in grave danger. They must decide what to do with their powers and their lives – and quickly. This explosive new blockbuster moves at hyperspeed across two continents as colliding forces move towards an action-packed finale that will leave the world – and you – changed forever.
