We invite you for an evening of coffee and conversation with Samit Basu, 
author of The Simoqin Prophecies. Samit will read from the book and 
discuss the 'The Manticore's Secret', the forthcoming book in the trilogy.

Shuddhabrata Sengupta and Anand Vivek Taneja will be discussants for the 
evening.

"The Simoqin Prophecies/ is at once classic SFF and subtle spoof, 
featuring scantily clad centauresses, flying carpets, pink trolls, belly 
dancers and homicidal rabbits. Monty Python meets the Ramayana, Alice in 
Wonderland meets The Lord of the Rings and Robin Hood meets The Arabian 
Nights in this novel - a breathtaking ride through a world peopled by 
different races and cultures from mythology and history..."

[Samit Basu is a writer and sci-fci enthusiast. He also works as a 
columnist for The Telegraph, Calcutta, and as a freelance scriptwriter, 
journalist and reviewer. He is the author of 'The Simoqin Prophecies', 
published in January 2004 by Penguin India. The second in the trilogy, 
'The Manticore's Secret', is slated for release December 2005.]

Do try and come!
