A captivating Red Herring collection of four translated works —
1. Null: A Novel of Infinity
Sareng Sankhyak, a reluctant journalist haunted by the question of whether life is worth living, arrives to write a story about an epoch-making scientific breakthrough: a device that can make dark matter visible. But almost at once, things go wrong. A government inspector vanishes without a trace. An engineered giant with four arms guards a corridor no one is allowed to enter. And in a hidden chamber, impossible boxes begin to hatch creatures that should not exist. As the ship’s corridors twist between art and nightmare, Sareng—along with Britto, an oddly innocent synthetic companion—must navigate lies, half-truths, and something stranger than physics itself. Because whatever is moving in the shadows of the Ocean of Time is not just watching them. It’s learning. AND IT MAY NOT LET THEM LEAVE
2. Vanished: The Mysterious Disappearance of Mustafa Oud
Ahmed Masoud’s Vanished is a searing, suspense-filled mystery that dives deep into the heart of a family fractured by war, secrets, and betrayal. Part political thriller, part emotional odyssey—this unforgettable novel traces one boy’s relentless pursuit of justice and belonging in a world where truth is often buried beneath rubble.
3. Fractal Dreams That Unmake
These fifteen stories, ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and horror, encompass elements, cultural context, history, and people of the subcontinent. While “Ascension” asks about the role of casteism in a tidally locked secondary world, “The Elevator Era” discusses the state of stark economic disparity in a devastated world through the eyes of two terracotta artists. “Mare Tranqualatalis” explores the role of indigenous honey collectors of Sundarbans in a bee-less world where rising sea levels have given rise to sentient threats–both men and abominable. “Children Between Lines” asks what happens to freedom and dissent in a totalitarian world. “The Old Age Home at the End of the Universe” explores what happens to old parents when the world dies. Together, these stories promise action, adventure, humor, love and hate, disparity and salvation, redemption and revenge, and everything in between.
4. The Best Realtor in the Galaxy by Moran Deri-Ziv
Prince, a charismatic (albeit hapless) real-estate agent with a complicated past, gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make it to the literal top of the business—fly an advanced spaceship known as “The Kepler” to the alien planet Matlitodus, where he will resume his career as an intergalactic realtor—selling luxury homes to the ultra-rich and live like the king he always knew he was.
But when the plan falls short, and Prince discovers the dark forces manipulating his life on Matlitodus, he finds himself in the middle of an intergalactic scheme with a talking trapdoor spider named Priscilla, a young researcher with an affinity for French fries, and a foodie scoundrel who knows a lot more than he lets on…
A graceful mashup of satire, high-stakes action, science fiction, and critique, The Best Realtor in the Galaxy is perfect for fans of John Scalzi, Julia Huni, and Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
