Sagramanda

Set in the fictitious mega-city of Sagramanda, city of 100 million, this is the story of the scientist who absconded with his multinational corporation's secret project code and is now on the run, the bounty hunter sent after him, the farmer-turned-merchant trying to help the scientist unload his stolen items, the serial killer wanting to kill for the glory of her god, and the chief inspector trying to put this sword-wielding murderer away as quickly as possible before things escalate even further. And then there's the man-eating tiger, come in from a nearby jungle reserve and looking for its next meal. A fast-paced and gripping techno-thriller set in a near-future India from the visionary mind of Hollywood's #1 sci-fi novelist, Alan Dean Foster.
