From Victorian India to near-future New York, The Calcutta Chromosome
takes listeners on a wondrous journey through time as a computer
programmer trapped in a mind-numbing job hits upon a curious item that
will forever change his life.
When Antar discovers the battered I.D. card of a long-lost acquaintance,
he is suddenly drawn into a spellbinding adventure across centuries and
around the globe, into the strange life of L. Murugan, a man obsessed
with the medical history of malaria, and into a magnificently complex
world where conspiracy hangs in the air like mosquitoes on a summer
night.
