Butterfly Effect

A self-obsessed Calcutta detective who goes by his last name `Kar’, an enigmatic internet cafe hostess in Seoul, and a hotshot geneticist labouring away on a topsecret corporate project. These are just a few pieces in the puzzle that need to be put together to explain a world sucked into the whirlpool of the `butterfly effect’.
In the decaying capital city of a near-future Darkland, which covers large swathes of Asia, Captain Old – an off-duty policeman – receives news that might help to unravel the roots of a scourge that has ravaged the continent. As stories coalesce into stories – welding past, present and future together – will a macabre death in a small English town or the disappearance of Indian tourists in Korea, help to blow away the dusts of time?
From utopian communities of Asia to the prison camps of Pyongyang and from the gene labs of Europe to the violent streets of Darkland – riven by civil war, infested by genetically engineered fighters – this time-travelling novel crosses continents, weaving mystery, adventure and romance, gradually fixing its gaze on the sway of the unpredictable over our lives.

Un detectiv Calcutta, obsedat de sine, care se numeste numele de familie „Kar”, o enigmatica gazda de internet cafe din Seul si un genetician fierbinte care lucreaza la un proiect corporativ de topsecret. Acestea sunt doar cateva piese ale puzzle-ului care trebuie adunate pentru a explica o lume aspirata in vartejul „efectului fluture”. In capitala in descompunere a viitorului apropiat Darkland, care acopera zone mari din Asia, capitanul Batranul - un politist de serviciu - primeste stiri care ar putea ajuta la dezlegarea radacinilor unui flagel care a devastat continentul.
