Synopsis

In this work of fiction the main plots deals with the Soviet takeover of India at the height of the Cold War and how the forces of the free world fight back. The KGB does this with the help of a fast-rising politician, Raj Kamath, who visualises a new India of his dreams, without hunger and poverty and without the five-star culture imposed on this poor land by the corrupt. But what the Soviets have in store for him is 'Operation Grand Slam'. A novel that captures the ethos of the Cold War era, holding a mirror to the world of man as he stood in the dangerous 80s-lost without moorings, seeking reprieve yet afraid of the next horizon, afraid that evolution might mean extinction
