The Goddess Has Many Faces — Ashok K. Banker

Envoy Pillai is the best assasin in the field and believes he understands humans. Yet when he tries to destroy the rebel headquarter of Kali, he is up against a belief whose power he fails to understand. Ashok Banker assaults the senses through shock and awe in this powerful story. Exploring overarching themes of equality, social justice and feminism, this tale is refreshingly original.
