Utopian Madras & the Herald of the Worlds

by UNGAL MADRASI

“Jennifer wakes up one day like the rest of us do, but she instead finds herself in a strange new city with a different family. The people of the city call it Madras and they’ve never heard anything about the place she calls home, the city of Saratham. 

Afraid she’s lost her mind, her new family sends her for therapy and that’s where she meets our protagonist, Roy.” 

Now that you’ve picked this book and read it so far, will you please be a darling and read it completely? 

Also, I, the author, turn into a sci-fi podcaster in the weekends. You can find my other works on Spotify and Apple Podcasts under the title “Ungal Madrasi”, and here’s our little secret, that’s my pen name too!

Utopian Madras & The Herald of the Worlds was quite catchy, especially the scifi vibes. Read it in one stretch!

A detailed description of places Roy visits like Koyambedu, Madurai, St George's would have been nice for non Madras readers, however for a Madrasi it all made sense!

Plot was really nice, loved how everyone was connected all the time and it wasnt just Roy's hallucination

Waiting for part 2, I see a '?' after 'The End'

Congrats to the writer R for taking the brave step into the publishing world and getting this book out into the world. Fresh new perspective into the sci-fi genre. Lovely characters a little too close to home. A lot fo theories that give way to explaining the science behind the story. Some really heart warming moments that made me melt. All in all a perfect first book for R! Hope he writes more and accomplished more and more. Good luck with Jenny 😉.

This is a very thrilling tale of a seemingly bipolar woman who has more to her story than it seems at the first glance, resulting in the unraveling of unexpected cosmic secrets. The author does a great job of blending the Da Vinci Code and His Dark Materials, except in a South Indian setting, filled with intrigue in every step of the world building that gets the reader craving for a sequel.
