Qais or otherwise known as Cash is a Syed (descendent from the line of the Prophet), an insurance surveyor, a widower, a father, son of an Olympian gold medalist, a Punjabi, an almost Military man, a Sufi Poet, and unlike the people around him-highly sympathetic to the suffering of humans. He is hailed to survey the burning of a warehouse (godown) located in Tank Waziristan housed with duty free cigarettes for the American Military, owned Malik Awan who is considered to have ties to the Taliban. Qais is promised lofty remunerations if he is able to complete the task and he desperately needs the money to send his daughter to a good engineering school and purchase a decent place to live.Qais then penetrates into region of drones, deception, and double dealings. His eyes like a flaneur uncover for the reader all that is around him; poverty, disease, and death. He expounds the predilections of these men to be universal; whether Taliban or Military.Qais's journey is Odyssean in nature; just like Odysseus of Homer's epic The Odyssey, Qais is met with monsters, tempted by sirens, and even shown generous hospitality. Another Odyssean trait that Qais possesses is that of reason; Qais is not shy to expostulate his opinions and is able to get out of unnerving situations. He is not strong like the Taliban warriors or equipped with arms like the American or Pakistani military, but he is a man with sensibility and this alone ends up being his saving grace.'The Warehouse' hence uncovers the region of Pakistan and Afghanistan most talked about in the news yet never seen with humanistic eyes. For that we need the artistry of a writer and Saqib Mausoof does it brilliantly. ### ⭐ Bought by mistake!! *by D***M on Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 18 April 2017* I couldn't connect to the book since it was written by a Pakistani! Returned the book after reading a couple of pages! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Armed with a Bournesque attitude, Mausoof guides you thru the geopolitical landscape of today's Pakistan *by M***N on Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 13 September 2016* This book is a travelogue of a somewhat restless mind that hopscotches its way around Pakistani, Afghani and American stereotypes, blending Bournesque attitude with wry humor, and bringing 1980’s memories of Pro-American Pakistan to the forefront of our minds. The result leaves you with a disturbed feeling for loss of innocence, a not-so-appreciative understanding of trauma, and a sour taste for all things considered political. The author does not provide you with unique stories - you have seen these headlines before. But he weaves and layers each stereotype, identity, and power dynamics in a sequential fashion and then shatters those stereotypes through the eyes of the protagonist. It is this power that he bestows upon “Qais” – a not-so-Bond-like hero – that makes this book a must read. There are only a handful of writers who dare to breakdown the geopolitical mess news pundits serve us every day. Mausoof achieves this by employing a descriptive style in an energized atmosphere and does it just good enough to keep you awake at night. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/400928025-warehouse-the-paperback-11-july-2016](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/400928025-warehouse-the-paperback-11-july-2016) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
