"General Science and Ability by Mian Shafique" is the latest and updated one according to new and revised syllabus.

I have gone through mian shafique’s book and found it lengthy. It contains many unnecessary material. Remember general science section will have 20 mcqs as well. A good book should cover the topics according to the marks in the exam and in my opinion 400 pages for 40 marks is not worth it. As for general ability, things are still unclear as most books and academies are treating as if it will be objective. While on FPSC website it clearly states that it will be subjective. We will not know for sure until the exam itself.

I do not have anything against mian shafique’s book nor am I saying that any other book is better. I am just saying that it is not as good as everyone is saying it is. The best source for preparation still is the internet and past papers. I would also like redirect you to this thread by soulstar in which he reflects on his experiences working with the people who actually make the books.

Internet is the best source for preparing revised syllabus, we have not tested the credibility of these new books yet.

mian shafique's book doesn't fall in the category of good books..... many of its topics are copy paste material from net. i myself have checked it

Well. That's also true. I considered it a good one as it has been compiled in accordance with the syllabus and someone like me who has only to go through topics, owing to my background in science, for quick revision can save time.
If you have to start from scratch, go for O levels' books.
