New Horizons

The citizens of Karachi wake up and discover the sea missing from their shores, the last Parsi on Earth must escape to other worlds when debt collectors come knocking, and a family visiting a Partition-themed park gets more entertainment than they bargained for.

These stories and others showcase the epic scope of science fiction from the South Asian subcontinent. Offering a fresh perspective on our hyper-global, often alienating and always paranoid world, NEW HORIZONS brings together tales of masterful imagination where humanity and love may triumph yet.

“A book worthy of being on the shelves of any reader who enjoys good stories - SF or otherwise”
