Resonance: Birds of Passage (0473177668) - Reviews and Prices

Editorial Review:

There is a force that exists beyond what is reasonable, an attraction that defies natural order and flies in the face of common sense. It passes through lives like an invisible wind, and those it touches are changed forever. But there is no such thing as destiny, or so it is said. The future is unwritten and dreams can shape its course, and yet all across the world events conspire to entangle those who may yet understand: In an apartment in a college in a city of finest minds, a girl fusses over her father and she wishes for the past, while inside her there grows a power that will change all that she knows ... In a grotty little room in a cracked and sprawling building, a sister watches a sister and knows she is looking at the most important girl in the world ... In a city of stark contrast and impossible light a girl speeds across rooftops without a care in the world, utterly unaware of who she is and the horrors her future holds ... In a city of fear and control a boy kneels in penitent prayer, and that he cannot express his forbidden visions consumes him with burning terror ... In a finely furnished room there sits a girl watching the rain, and in her head a seed is planted that may bless or damn the world ... In a tiny rural village a girl pulls at stubborn weeds, and that she does not tire seems nothing but ordinary ... In a dark and narrow alleyway, alone but for the night, a girl observes the world though she remains unseen herself ... In an unimportant bar in an insignificant town a man who simply shouldn't be raises his head and stares at the wall, terrified and bewildered and filled, for the first time since he can remember, with hope ... And the world turns, and the moon waxes and wanes, and the web grows tighter and the nights grow longer and the energy of others becomes the energy of self; the energy of all becomes the energy of one. Elsewhere, it is achieved: Resonance.
