| Summary, etc | Santosh—a ten-year-old from a Mumbai slum with a passion for cricket, Bollywood, and Ganpati Bapa; Salim—a socialist trader from Birmingham and witness to the aftermath of the unjust 'war on terror'; Ruth—a lesbian ship-welder from New Jersey whose fierce rightwing patriotism cost her the love of her life; Akechi—a rakish, self-obsessed manga star with a fondness for high living and beautiful gaijin women; and Yoshi—Akechi's twin and fellow mangaka, a hermaphrodite consumed by a guilty secret about their Japanese father and Chinese mother. Can these five wildly unlikely people succeed in their impossible mission of travelling to the ends of time and space to bring peace to the world? Can they overcome their cultural, racial, religious and other differences and find a way to end the apocalyptic War of Wars that threatens not only humanity, but all creation, with ultimate destruction? Does humanity even deserve to be saved? Asking the boldest and most searing questions of our time, while unfolding a spectacular and tremendously entertaining epic adventure, Gods of War is a tour de force of imagination by the author of the internationally acclaimed Ramayana Series." |
