Description:
In an alternative world where gods are as self-evident as thunderstorms and as destructive as tornadoes, a Baboon Warrior surfaces to save India from marauding behemoths; yet a driven Hindu named Rakesh mysteriously wants him dead. In Shiva 3000, Jan Lars Jensen has cooked up an exotic curry of wonders drawing on Hindu mythology and Buddhist meditative practices. From the sensual antics of Kama Sutrans to Zen-like archery, we sail along in an adventure that is a cross between the Ramayana and Jurassic Park. Belief in gods is beyond doubt, and yet something in the pantheon is amiss. The giant Jagannath turns out to be constructed from planks and pulleys, and a splinter group of Buddhists secretly dissects human bodies in their mountain fortress. Jensen keeps us guessing how it all ties together until the ending reveals Shiva 3000 as an allegory of our own times that is as devastating as it is absorbing. --Brian Bruya
