Synopsis The book is a tale with a past, a story about the present and what is expected in the future. The story revolves around three brain transplant surgeons who pioneer the concept in the United States, only to be drawn back to India to set up a futuristic corporate hospital in New Delhi, the only one of its kind east of the Atlantic Ocean. The transplant surgeons have perfected the art of replacing diseased human brains with normal ones stored in the hospital’s brain bank. However, certain elements of society are not happy about this creation ‘by a trio of godplayers’. The hospital is thus issued a threat. The threat comes from a Kashmir militant organisation, the most powerful terrorist group in North India. Mercenaries who form a part and parcel of this militant group succeed in kidnapping one of the brain transplant surgeons creating such a furore worldwide that the Indian government is compelled to get involved in a rescue bid or give in to the terrorists’ demands. The story takes the reader from the United States to New Delhi in a fast paced action through Afghanistan, to the Torxam-Peshawar border and the crowded streets of Srinagar in Kashmir. The tale delves into how men become terrorists and end up going against the very ethos of society by picking only on soft targets to achieve criminal ends.
