Imagine a bow and arrow in Cupid's steady hand; focused eye, dead on target. The arrow penetrates unerringly to the heart. Nishka is a love story layered over many exquisite levels of adventure, intrigue, romance, and mysticism. Most importantly, this is a story of Life, resurgent Life, forever embodied in the spirit of our Youth. Based on a fleeting collegiate romance with a mysterious Russian emigre, a young MIT undergrad, John Paul Morrissey, discovers a true avocation and passion for his life's work. Her tales of strange sightings and incredible Northern Light activity in a very remote part of arctic Siberia were forever emblazoned in his imagination. How John Paul later travels to this wild and forbidding land during the height of the Cold War in the face of hostile KGB and CIA agents is a tale of persistence and incredible fortitude. What he would discover at Nishka would change the way we think about life and redefine our notions of the forever."
