Preface

Another Heaven, a thought-provoking novel by Annu Subramanian, addresses the horrors of human trafficking and terrorism. Focusing primarily on three factors—human rights abuse, fanatical religious beliefs, and the psychological fraud of terrorism—the narrative objectively speaks to a universal audience.

The novel begins in Pennsylvania, USA, where a young doctoral student of psychology is doing research to understand the insanity of a terrorist’s mind. Her search for counterterrorism efforts takes her to an internship in India. Here, she encounters a victim of human trafficking who has been abducted to play a vital role in one of the missions. Consequently, readers discover an organization, orchestrated by a terrorist, that is recruiting and training missionaries for mass destruction and gradual degradation of humanity. While not a typical terrorist story, Another Heaven exposes a terrorist’s mind, with psychological fraud as the core of the narrative.

Another Heaven takes its readers to various vignettes—missions that involve human trafficking, missionaries who are subjected to lifelong servitude or terminal missions, and ordinary humans who are extraordinarily affected by one man’s destructive decisions. The novel, while portraying the collapse of mankind that is triggered by fanatics and violence, tries to stress that global discord is everybody’s concern.

Another Heaven aims to call for a bold campaign against a system that systematically demolishes humanity.
