His is the latest in the Rick Riordan Presents series. City of the Plague God is a grand, mythological adventure about what would happen if an unstoppable disease should appear out of nowhere and infect everyone! Could never happen in real life, eh? First generation Muslim immigrant, he says he was born and brought up in London and writes kick-ass adventures with a touch of the dark side. “I reckon a lot of my ideas come from my days of backpacking. I've travelled a lot, lived in Hong Kong and been from Mongolia to Ghana, from Nicaragua to India and seen a lot of weird stuff that I think, "Hey, that would make a cool story some day!"’

"This is a lush read with high appeal, full of apocalyptic drama, fight scenes, and stomach-turning descriptions of Neural and his band of demons, balanced with Sik's dry humor and a cast of quirky, vivid characters."―School Library Journal

"An epic adventure worthy of Gilgamesh. Chadda brings attention to the less well-recognized mythology of ancient Mesopotamia with engaging humor and wit."―Kirkus Reviews
