It is 2009. The tensions on the Indian subcontinent between India and Pakistan continue unabated. A series of events brings the traditional rivals closer than ever before to a nuclear apocalypse. Flashpoint takes you on a roller coaster ride from the lives of those on both sides caught up in the unravelling crisis to the corridors of power where decisions are made which could kill over a billion people. From the cockpits of fighter planes in the skies above to submarines in the ocean depths, Flashpoint paints a chilling picture of what the next all out war in the Indian subcontinent could well be like. Mainak Dhar is 28 years old and currently lives and works in Singapore. Mild mannered corporate executive by day; video game fanatic, net junkie, armchair warrior, amateur bartender and wannabe writer all rolled into one by night. Flashpoint is his first novel.
