The Phoenix

By Bilal Siddiqi

NAME: Aryaman Khanna.

PROFILE: Ex-intelligence officer, Phoenix 5 division, Intelligence and Research Wing.

STATUS: Released from a high-security prison in Lakshadweep after serving a seven-year sentence for a botched counterterrorism operation led by Director General Amarjyot Bhushan.

KNOWN FAMILY: A mother, a son and a wife, who was attacked before she could publish an expos about a bioweapon in her newspaper.

CURRENT LOCATION: Last seen heading to Mumbai in pursuit of his wife's attackers and on a top-secret comeback mission.

MISSION: Foil the bioweapon strike an international terror group has been planning to carry out in Mumbai on the anniversary of 26/11.

The Phoenix tells a dystopian tale of espionage and global terror, of sleeper cells and double agents, of biological warfare and suicide attacks. But at its heart there's a message of hope and one man's love for his family and country.
