Here's what some reviewers have said about the book:

Phyllis Gotlieb:"Ahmed Khan's delightful fantasies, set in the world of not-quite-mythical Ghelenden, freshen an ancient storytelling tradition with a sharp-eyed modern viewpoint and a sparkle of satire."

Matt Hughes:"Unicorns, swordsters, nasty magic and plucky heroes, cunning plans and deft table-turnings in a land of enchantment called Ghelenden-- and all of it good, clean fun."

IN PRODUCTION:

 

Ø     Script of a graphic novel about super heroes from India. It is titled Fearless Indian Super Heroes (FISH, for short). The story is a study in contradictions. Some of the characters are intentionally clichéd representation of the quintessential superhero stereotypes and others are totally original. The story deals with some serious matters in a light hearted way. The story is in 3 parts and the first part is now complete. I think the story can be turned into a nifty movie. Spielberg, where are you?

 

Ø     I am also working on a science fiction novel. It is a closed room murder mystery set in a future where almost totally human looking androids are a common sight, so much so that testimony of androids is admissible in courts of justice. It is a society where sometimes androids are mistaken for humans and humans for androids. Interesting times indeed.

 

 

ABOUT MYSELF

 

I am an IT professional, infected with the writing bug. I was born and educated in India and currently live in Canada. In between these two places, I spent quite some time in the Middle East (Kuwait, to be specific). My works (both fact and fiction) have appeared in magazines of India (e.g. Science Today, Femina), Kuwait (e.g. Kuwait Times, Arab Times), USA (Murderous Intent), Canada (e.g. Realms, Imelod) and webzines like Anotherealm, AlienQ, Pif, Cyber Oasis, GateWay S-F, Jackhammer, Millennium SF, Strange Horizons, The Phone Book, etc. I am married and a father of four (three sons and a daughter).

And if any of you were ever curious about how I look like (I can hope, can't I), then the time to put your curiosity to rest is here:
