Gods Of War

Five people from very different lives are brought together by an extraordinary mission: to journey to the far edge of time and space. There is Santosh, a boy from a Mumbai slum who loves cricket and films; Salim, a trader from Birmingham shaken by a war he sees as unjust; Ruth, a welder from New Jersey whose politics have cost her dearly; Akechi, a vain manga artist who enjoys the high life; and his twin Yoshi, also a comic creator, who carries a painful secret about their parents.

Their task is to end a cosmic conflict that threatens all of creation. Each of them must set aside long-held differences of culture, faith and temperament. The novel asks whether the world is worth saving at all, and whether this unlikely group can succeed.
