As Islamophobia and English nationalism ignite brutal violence, 19-year-old Marah Sultana is thrust into a fight for survival. Hunted by forces seeking control, she carries a secret powerful enough to change the course of the war-and the future of the world. In a world in which America's reign as a superpower has crumbled, its mercenaries now rule in its shadow, In The Second Coming, Tariq Mehmood delivers a searing, unflinching narrative that mirrors his own lifelong struggle for justice. This novel is not just fiction-it's a reflection of real-world battles. Mehmood's powerful storytelling compels readers to confront uncomfortable truths while offering a gripping, emotional journey of resistance and survival. A dystopian, desi mash-up of The Handmaid's Tale, Clockwork Orange, and V for Vendetta. The Second Coming warns of the dangers of right-wing nationalism and white supremacy and imagines where such hate could take England if it is not, somehow, nipped in the bud. -Paul Cochrane, journalist, Middle East Eye A must-read dystopian fantasy about race, religion, and love. Unmissable - Melvin Burgess, novelist, winner of the Carnegie Medal and the LA prize for Teenage Fiction An unforgettable novel, both vivid and nightmarishly plausible. - Peter Kalu, novelist, storyteller, playwright and poet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 24, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68342811132125,"sku":"9781998309276","price":39.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/Mkjz191Pqi9781998309276.webp?v=1793325088","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-second-coming-paperback-3","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
