The year is 2014. Pakistan is\n now a full-fledged democracy and beginning to reconcile with India. However,\n there are forces working against this fragile peace. A Pakistani jihadi\n leader, Yasser Basheer, travels to the Red Corridor and enlists the support\n of an Indian Naxalite commander. Their plan: to unleash Pralay, India's\n experimental intercontinental ballistic missile, on the subcontinent. As the\n missile changes course en route, it hits Pakistan and causes collateral\n damage. In response, Pakistan declares war on India. As the web of politics,\n deceit and treachery deepens, it turns out there are larger interests at\n stake and bigger players involved in a confrontation that threatens to\n destabilize the entire subcontinent. In this gripping thriller, Sami Ahmad\n Khan explores the consequences of an Indo-Pak war and its devastating effects\n on South Asia.
