The Second Coming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781998309276)

In the remnants of a fractured UK, England is on the brink of collapse where far-right militias rise to power. As Islamophobia and English nationalism ignite brutal violence, 19-year-old Marah Sultana is thrust into a fight for survival. Hunted by forces seeking control, she carries a secret powerful enough to change the course of the war-and the future of the world. In a world in which America's reign as a superpower has crumbled, its mercenaries now rule in its shadow, In The Second Coming, Tariq Mehmood delivers a searing, unflinching narrative that mirrors his own lifelong struggle for justice. This novel is not just fiction-it's a reflection of real-world battles. Mehmood's powerful storytelling compels readers to confront uncomfortable truths while offering a gripping, emotional journey of resistance and survival. A dystopian, desi mash-up of The Handmaid's Tale, Clockwork Orange, and V for Vendetta. The Second Coming warns of the dangers of right-wing nationalism and white supremacy and imagines where such hate could take England if it is not, somehow, nipped in the bud. -Paul Cochrane, journalist, Middle East Eye A must-read dystopian fantasy about race, religion, and love. Unmissable - Melvin Burgess, novelist, winner of the Carnegie Medal and the LA prize for Teenage Fiction An unforgettable novel, both vivid and nightmarishly plausible. - Peter Kalu, novelist, storyteller, playwright and poet.
