by A.G. Chaudhuri

An amnesiac physicist. A clandestine experiment.An animalistic killer. A self-proclaimed saviour.And a gifted child.Together, they hold the answer to a mystery older than time.The world is on its last legs. Civilisation has reached the pinnacle of progress but its foundations have been corroded by a race that is steeped in arrogance, greed and corruption. Amidst impending threats of global ecological catastrophe and warfare over the planet's limited resources, mankind marches towards an unknown end.As the world reels on the brink of chaos, disgraced physicist Zach Walker strives to rebuild his life from scratch and uncover his forgotten past. A rare condition called Lacunar Amnesia has robbed him of the memories of the last five years of his life. Having served jail-term for a crime he cannot recall, he lives in agony, taking each day as it comes. But unknown to him, there are powerful forces at work against him.A mysterious rendezvous quickly turns into a fierce battle for survival as Zach finds himself hunted by corrupt lawmen and a savage animalistic killer. Led by clues left by his deceased friend and mentor Dr Avinash Arya and aided by a shadowy organisation, he soon realises that his obscure past may be inextricably linked to the fate of the entire planet, and that his lost memories may also hold the key to a bizarre and terrifying secret.
