In a chance encounter on the overnight train from Paris to Barcelona, Vikram stumbles across a promising new recruit.
A unique coming-of-age story, Any Other World Will Do , the debut novel from Alex Lubertozzi , is inventive, irreverent science fiction, a wry commentary on the primal urge to flee our troubles and the romantic way we remember the journey..
When a series of bad decisions reveals the fact that Vikram isn\'t the only one light-years from home-and this Other one does not mean well-Miles and Anna become unwitting ambassadors to Vikram\'s world, a place where the locals haven\'t got their sh*t together any better than the people of Earth.
But he means well.
He has a lot of secrets, it turns out.
They don\'t know that Vikram is neither an Indian nor a man, or that he\'s a few thousand light-years from home.
Miles and Anna don\'t know they\'re being recruited.
Miles, an eighteen-year-old kid running away from a past he\'d just as soon forget, is drawn to the older Indian man, dazzled by Barcelona, and smitten with the Hotel Kashmir\'s bartender, Anna, a Surinamese grad student with a genius for languages and Vikram\'s first recruit.
