Gopolang pushes boundaries

He attributes his inspiration to the then global crisis, lockdowns, and conspiracy theories surrounding the virus. “It was a time when most of us discovered our hidden talents. So for me, I think the COVID-19 era inspired me to write science fiction, and of course, my love for Sci-Fi movies,” he says.

The book follows a junior doctor who uncovers a conspiracy involving a virus designed to wipe out humanity. He fights against dark forces, including aliens and assassins, while navigating time travel. Gopolang explains the meaning behind the title. “It signifies the brink of extermination. The world and humanity were on the verge of extermination, and heroes emerged in order to find ways of combating the threat,” he said.
