strange events are afoot in the subterranean depths as ancient bodies are
revitalized thanks to alien powers, and a ghost of aghor-bAbu - the scientist
who had performed the original experiment is also around to help the story
along.  en route you also learn a few tricks of apayA-hood - how to become
rich on your unluckiness.  sirshendu's characterization and storytelling
never fails, though the plot is rather miraculous.
