Dust and ash engulf the land, dry rivers snake the earth and a phantom darkness looms over everyone. As most of India reels from this environmental catastrophe, water replaces oil as the most valuable commodity and cities get infested with gangs and powerful religious figures. In this dystopia, the hi-tech Millennium City, which is inhabited by the rich, overlooks the quarters of the poor. Millennium City gives rise to a form of technology that manufactures artificial humans in laboratories. Born in one such lab, Haksh does the forbidden: he falls in love with Chhaya, a human. A coming-of-age novel about violence and transgression, Darklands is about one thing above all: love-both all-consuming and redemptive.

There she discovers the truth about her own past, and that of her people.Nightpeople explores a society turned in upon itself and a future which readers will find both alien and disturbingly familiar.

His challenge is to make these people confront and admit the damage their actions have caused, and so minimise the risk of them reoffending. It is not an easy task. the case studies in this book, all based on reality, will shock, unnerve and disturb. Yet it is compulsive reading - once you have visited the Darklands, you will never be able to leave.
