Publisher's Synopsis
Kamuk's chances of getting re-elected as Sadar-E-Azam of the Republic of Bananas are becoming bleaker by the hour: The Mango Man Movement to unseat him is gaining strength-- Sethji, his ally and financier, wants him to strike a deal with his revolting political rival Bahubali-- Worse, the ruthless Girgit Gang is determined to finish him off-- Caught between elections and personal survival, Kamuk is at his wit's end-- Time is running out... "The subdued sensuous scenes interspersed within the pages are more titillating than an explicit elocution of the basic instinct... [Wadehra] has [also] lucidly captured the sordidity that plagues less evolved democracies - a deadly combination of political power, money power and unscrupulousness... the graphic description of greedy politicians and bureaucrats bring out [Wadehra's] mastery over words and expression." --C P Ravindranath
