Science FictionSynopsis
Narrated by Teddy Ottinger, a sharp-tongued aviator and feminist author, the novel follows her entanglement with Kalki — an American ex-soldier turned guru in Kathmandu who claims to be the final avatar of Vishnu destined to end the human race. As Teddy is drawn deeper into Kalki's apocalyptic cult, she must determine whether he is a madman, a charlatan, or something far more dangerous.
