FANTASY. "The Simoqin Prophecies, " first published in 2003 in India, was critically acclaimed and an instant bestseller. It marked the beginning of Indian fantasy writing in English. Written with consummate ease and brimming with wit and allusion, it is at once classic sff and subtle spoof, featuring scantily clad centauresses, flying carpets, pink trolls, and homicidal rabbits. Monty Python meets the "Ramayana," "Alice in Wonderland" meets "The Lord of the Rings," and "Robin Hood" meets "The Arabian Nights" in this novel a breathtaking ride through a world peopled by different races and cultures across mythology and history. The Prophecies foretell the reawakening of the terrible rakshas, Danh-Gem, and the arrival of a hero to face him. But heroes do not appear magically out of nowhere; they have to be found and trained. And sometimes the makers of prophecies don t know everything they need to know. |
