About
Malay A. Upadhyay grew up in the Eastern provinces of paradoxical India. It was a childhood of anomalies - a different spacetime, where he could not understand a friend's passion for books on one hand even as he wrote for school elocution on the other. Today, all his stories belong to the world of Kalki Evian and constitute two persistent themes - a different city/country and matter(s) inherent to the society, organisations or the world around us.
While Malay works as a Marketer with an equivalent tilt towards Organisational development, he conceived many of the techno-economic ideas described in his first book - Kalki Evian: The Ring of Khaoriphea - at Bocconi University in Milano. His Blog of a Fly (at www.kalkievian.com) subscribes to the elusively effervescent, ephemeral connection among beings across space and time. That is after all, a belief that underlies every piece of literature ever written.
The First Book of the Gastar Series: "Act of Redemption"
Description
The once-great city of Gastar stands in ruins following centuries of war by undead monsters driven by an evil temple. Victory cost the people of the knowledge to defeat another enemy, Zermon, ruler of hell, who seeks to extend his realm by annihilation of the few people left. With the help of a sympathetic ancient dragon, volunteer fighters from the past war, and the arrival of a teen assassin named Shevata who is known to Zermon, they combine efforts for the existence of the people of Gastar.
Story Behind The Book
The story of Kalki Evian was inspired by the author's Masters dissertation. What began as an idea of universal evolution gradually opened doors to a universe that we all experience, unknowingly. It was a reality that was constantly being modified, but how and to what end? This is the first part.
