They've brought him back from the dead--again. To seek and retrieve a missing goddess.
Resurrected Inspector Neel Kant—body borrowed, memories scrambled—is dispatched to investigate the disappearance of Lakshmi, a divine artificial intelligence worshipped as a living goddess on India’s lunar colony. But Lakshmi isn’t a person. She was never born. She was designed. And now she’s vanished.From the domed megastructures of Bharat One to the silent craters beyond, Neel follows the trail through corrupted sanctuaries, weaponized myth, and quantum-coded temples where belief is currency and salvation runs on silicon. The deeper he descends into this digital labyrinth, the more the case—and reality itself—begins to fracture.
But some questions refuse to stay buried. What was Lakshmi becoming? And what has Neel already lost in the search?
A cerebral fusion of lunar noir, mythpunk science fiction, and cosmic techno-horror, Anveshana for a Lost Lakshmi asks: When gods are made and memory is code, who controls the truth?
