BHIM: THE WASTELAND
Book One of the Bhim Series
A Story in the Bhumi Universe
In a world where the air can kill you, trusting the wrong person can be even more dangerous.
The world of Bhumi is dying. Pollution has made the air poisonous, oxygen has become a precious resource, and survival depends on how much a person can afford. While the privileged live behind protected walls, the poor struggle to stay alive in settlements built from the ruins of the old world.
Bhim is sixteen when his life falls apart.
A trip to collect a birthday gift ends in horror. Betrayed by the people he trusted most, Bhim is taken into the wasteland and left for dead. With no home, no family and no idea why his life has been turned upside down, he must learn to survive in a world far crueler than anything he has known.
His path leads him to Shuka and Netra, two young scavengers who survive by searching through mountains of discarded machinery and trading whatever they can salvage. Among outcasts, traders and ruthless warlords, Bhim begins to discover how little kindness the world has left to offer-and how much it costs to survive.
When a dangerous assignment takes the three into hostile territory, an unexpected encounter changes everything. A desperate attempt to save a friend will push Bhim towards a path he never imagined, while strange signs suggest that there is something unusual about the boy himself.
Who was Bhim before his life was torn apart? Why does he possess such extraordinary strength? And what secrets lie beneath the ruins of Bhumi?
Bhim: The Wasteland is the first book in a dystopian science-fiction adventure set in the Bhumi Universe. It is a story of betrayal, friendship, survival and the mysteries waiting to be uncovered in a broken world.
The wasteland is only the beginning.
