Mondays: Mailbox/Where Am I/Musings

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at A Girl and Her Books. Mari of Mari Reads is hosting for the month of May.

A Flawed God by Arjun Shekhar

Ten years working in one company, struggling to innovate or die, Sanchit Mishra - Sancho - is staring bleakly at his performance appraisal form, clueless about how to raise his ratings, when he decides to ask his colleague Pause Daniels to become his performance therapist. A delightful and thought-provoking story of an ordinary executive sucked into a secret world of anonymous superheroes out to revolutionise the business world, a parallel world that pumps some self-esteem into the protagonist.

An ugly industrial relations situation ensues leading to the kidnapping of the Human Resources Director.
