Synopsis

"Pick up your books- Its time to kick some butt." Life can be hard when you're a dork. You're not pretty or popular - just intelligent and very bored with the world around you. And then you discover that one of your friends, dorkier than you and thrice as socially inept, has a major secret. One she could kill for. Literally. Abhishikta is thrilled by the revelation that the nerdy Rikita is actually a lethal super-soldier - her geekiness belying the fact that she can kill everyone in a room, in any given situation, within five minutes, using a wooden table-leg. And Riki proceeds to induct Abhi into the Foundation, a secret organization that claims to exist only to serve human civilization. Not humanity; just civilization. Abhi takes to martial arts and guns with a bloodthirstiness previously unsuspected by anyone - even herself. What she doesn't take to, however, is the fascist control exerted by the Foundation over its soldiers. She begins to ask questions ... and things start getting really messy. An action-packed story about an ordinary-girlturned- reluctant-assassin, The Girls Behind the Gunfire is a book you do not want to miss.
