This Eclipse of the Sun is the story of Rajesh Deshpande, teacher of
science, and his crusade against ignorance and superstition in a small town in
India. A total eclipse of the Sun provides a perfect opportunity for Desphande
to confront the forces of darkness—in more ways than one. Does reason come
out the victor or is it vanquished? To find out, you will simply have to buy a
copy of Phil Whitaker’s beautifully crafted first novel. Published by Phoenix,
£6.99, ISBN 0753801531.
