...course, this really comes to fruition when a group of two to four players work in conjunction to overcome tough situations—combining spells, trading items and taking shots in combat. Without them, the game suffers noticeably. The device normally carried by one player, which forces the group to stay within its sphere (thus fostering a sense of togetherness), is a complete nuisance in single player mode.

Before he came to power in 2003, Erdogan's opponents warned that his devout Islamic beliefs would spell trouble. But as Prime Minister, Erdogan has kept religion off the agenda.

The central character, Jai Bhagwan, "is a takeoff of Nehru," says Singh. Bhagwan, like Nehru, is a Brahman from Kashmir, British-educated, brilliant, agnostic, a follower of Mohandas Gandhi, and with big dreams of modernizing his impoverished country. There's one difference: instead of going into politics, Bhagwan decides to transform India by becoming an industrialist to give his country the economy it deserves. The crux of the novel comes when the middle-aged...
