No Child'S Play

It’s 1970 and curious things are a foot in the world. In New Jersey, a boy with stiff limbs but extraordinary intelligence is born to an NRI couple and a powerful evil organization is out to exterminate him. In China, Dr. Wong’s greatest invention, a bio-mechanical robot has been stolen by goons. Meanwhile in Calcutta, Gadai Babu brings home a mysterious science kit from the grey market and it appears to set off bewildering news on TV and odd spirits in his lab at home. Shirshendu Mukopadhyay’s classic sci-fi novel is a roller-coaster ride, full of unforgettable characters, drama, action and intrigue. As racy as it is charming, this is a good old-fashioned nail-biting mystery.
