Origins of the State and Civilization by Elman R Service
The earth looks calm from space. Its majestic rotation continues on its eternal journey-a serene sight. From the high sky, all looks well over the Indian subcontinent with its unmistakable jutting coastline. The ethereal vision is suddenly muddled by a mushroom-shaped cloud arising from the west coast of the Mumbai peninsula. Shortly thereafter, similar clouds arise. This time, they're over Islamabad and Karachi. What would a post-apocalyptic India look like? Philipose Thomas' The Third Mumbai is the first book to explore this question. With geo-political relations between India and Pakistan deteriorating rapidly, nuclear attacks become inevitable. Set in the aftermath of such a devastating war, the author portrays a stark picture of a barely-recovering India. Filled with pirates, gangsters, whales and guerrilla attacks, The Third Mumbai is a story of loss, hope and justice that is sure to keep readers enthralled.
