About The Book

In a world gripped by the unpredictable forces of the "butterfly effect," Rajat Chaudhuri’s Darkland invites readers on a thrilling journey across continents and timelines. The story introduces a self-obsessed detective named Kar, a mysterious internet café hostess in Seoul, and a brilliant geneticist working on a top-secret corporate project. As these seemingly unrelated characters collide, they become key players in a complex narrative that binds the past, present, and future.

Set against the decaying backdrop of a near-future Asia, the novel unfolds in Darkland—a war-torn region ravaged by civil unrest and genetically engineered soldiers. As Captain Old, an off-duty policeman, stumbles upon a piece of vital information, he begins to connect the dots that could reveal the origins of the region’s crisis. From the mysterious death in a quiet English town to the disappearance of Indian tourists in Korea, every event plays its part in unraveling a web of intrigue, mystery, and dark secrets.

Chaudhuri’s Darkland deftly intertwines elements of adventure, romance, and science fiction. From utopian communities to the brutal prisons of Pyongyang, from the gene labs of Europe to the streets of a collapsing society, this fast-paced narrative keeps readers on the edge of their seats, questioning the role of fate and the unforeseen consequences of our choices. It’s a journey where time bends, and the ripple effects of the smallest actions reverberate across the globe.
