Philipose Thomas presently lives in Panjim, Goa and works as a trainer for a telecommunications company. The Third Mumbai is his first book. It took him almost three years to complete the book while working a busy job. The book was first published digitally in 2015, but it lay unnoticed by Indian readers.
The book is the first attempt of its kind to portray a post-nuclear war India, an eerie vision that could soon become reality. A great deal of research and redrafting was undertaken before it got to its present form. The author believes the book is a synopsis of a much larger story and races you through an exciting and original plot.
