The Very Difficult Diwali of Sub-Inspector Gurushankar Rajaram by Jeff Soesbe

The first story published in DayBreak Magazine is The Very Difficult Diwali of Sub-Inspector Gurushankar Rajaram by Jeff Soesbe and it’s a story I thoroughly enjoyed.

Set in India and following a day in Raja’s life. But not an ordinary day!

It’s jam-packed with groovy ideas, feels exotic (to me) because of the Indian setting, captures some great atmosphere and most of all left me feeling happy. I won’t give any more away, much of the delight of the story is its cascade of ideas. Just go and read it.

A great start to DayBreak, Shine and their optimistic SF.
