A LOCUS AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST NOVELLA

Saad Z. Hossain continues to blow through the flimsy walls of genre like a whirlwind with The Gurkha and the Lord of Tuesday, sweeping science-fiction, fantasy, myth, and satire into the wildly imaginative vortex of his ever-expanding fictional universe of alternate djinn-history and futures. Hossain's wit and wry compassion create a vision of humanity's hurtling path through time and space as both farcical and epic, leaving a blazing trail of casualties and wonders.--Indra Das

When the djinn king Melek Ahmar wakes up after millennia of imprisoned slumber, he finds a world vastly different from what he remembers. Arrogant and bombastic, he comes down the mountain expecting an easy conquest: the wealthy, spectacular city state of Kathmandu, ruled by the all-knowing, all-seeing tyrant AI Karma. To his surprise, he finds that Kathmandu is a cut-price paradise, where citizens want for nothing and even the dregs of society are distinctly unwilling to revolt.

Everyone seems happy, except for the old Gurkha soldier Bhan Gurung. Knife saint, recidivist, and mass murderer, he is an exile from Kathmandu, pursuing a forty-year-old vendetta that leads to the very heart of Karma. Pushed and prodded by Gurung, Melek Ahmer finds himself in ever deeper conflicts, until they finally face off against Karma and her forces. In the upheaval that follows, old crimes will come to light and the city itself will be forced to change.

Leaves face feeling clean, soft, and smooth
Love this facial cleaner. I actually double cleanse my face. First I use an oil based makeup remover, then I cleanse with this face wash. It doesn’t strip my skin of moisture, and I’ve noticed less redness on my face after switching to this cleanser. The cleanser is light and leaves my face feeling clean, soft, and smooth. I would recommend to people who notice their face feeling “tight” or noticing redness after cleansing.

Sturdy & easy to move around
Its solid & sturdy. It does exactly what it’s supposed to. You have the option to fill it up with water or sand , I choose water. It holds the umbrella in place. The wheels and handle make it really easy to move around, which is a huge plus. It fits perfectly and feels very well made. Great addition for my pool area!

Heavy-Duty Base with Convenient Mobility
This umbrella base does exactly what it’s supposed to—keeps the umbrella stable while still being easy to move around when needed. Once filled with water/sand, it feels solid and secure even on slightly windy days, which gives peace of mind. The built-in wheels are a standout feature. Moving the base across the patio is smooth and doesn’t require much effort. The handle placement is well thought out, making repositioning quick and hassle-free. Overall, it’s a great balance of stability and convenience. Highly recommend if you want a sturdy base without sacrificing mobility.

The base that fits!
Finally, easy to put together and the right fit just before summer. It was extra windy so I put extra weight.
