The Resistance is the sequel to a book called The Declaration, and begins not too long after. The main character, Peter, is invited to take a job for a company that produces an immortality drug known as longevity by his grandfather, who owns the company. As a member of a resistance attempting to stop production of the drug, he is advised to accept the offer. While working there, he discovers that they have begin creating an enhanced version of Longevity, called Longevity+, and that in order to make it you need to harvest the main ingrediant from a very unethical source; people born after the creation of Longevity known as Surpluses.
Andrew: I think that this is a brilliant book, definitely worth the read, although it was a bit short and slightly predictible. I was surprised to realize halfway through that it was a sequel, and not a standalone. 9 out of 10.
