Synopsis for Phobic Wars
By Ram Gulrajani
This is a work of fiction and addresses a little sci-fi in it as it envelopes the main tag of the story, phobias with a love story within it and the old tales of Atlantis to boot.
The story is two separate stories that interweave and finally merge into one. Separate lives crashing into one another in order to save the world.
The story concerns phobias and how people cope with them and the main character in particular, an Italian with a fear of cockroaches.
In his work, he has developed a way of getting rid of cockroaches and is quite successful in this. However in order to resolve the problem, he encounters the fact that Mother Nature intended Cockroaches to be present in the world. Why? Well what is unleashed tells the story.
It is not until the cockroaches start to disappear that they even greater evil of creatures that had been identified by the people of Atlantis and had led to their demise and disappearance start to eat everything in their path.
Medusa Dermaptera are the creatures that the Atlantians had been trying to fore warn them about via the other main character in the book.
She is a distant relative of the surviving Atlantians and has vivid dreams that she cannot understand but turn out to be visions of warnings.
She is a nurse and meets an unusual patient on the ward she works in who turns out to be an Atlantian who has come back to life to pass on this message and try and prevent the destruction of the world by Medusa Dermaptera.
It encompasses the belief that innovation and changing the status quo can always be of benefit with the message that nature is finely tuned for a purpose and that the presumption that ridding the world of any creatures, even cockroaches , is not a good move.
I believe the story is original in its concept and could do better if the story was edited professionally and marketed by a publishing house rather than as a self publishing project. However the story is innovative and nonetheless a good read.
