Book Blurb:
Five thousand years ago, there came to earth a magical being called Krishna , who brought about innumerable miracles for the good of mankind. Humanity despaired of its fate if the Blue God were to die but was reassured that he would return in a fresh avatar when needed in the eventual Dark Age - the Kaliyug.
In modern times, a poor little rich boy grows up believing that he is that final avatar. Only, he is a serial killer.
In this heart stopping tale, the arrival of a murderer who executes his gruesome and brilliantly thought-out schemes in the name of God is the first clue to a sinister conspiracy to expose an ancient secret - Krishna ’s priceless legacy to mankind.
Historian Ravi Mohan Saini must breathlessly dash from the submerged remains of Dwarka and the mysterious lingam of Somnath to the icy heights of Mount Kailash , in a quest to discover the cryptic location of Krishna ’s most prized possession. From the sand washed ruins of Kalibangan to a Vrindavan temple destroyed by Aurangzeb, Saini must also delve into antiquity to prevent a gross miscarriage of justice.
Ashwin Sanghi, bestselling author of ‘The Rozabal Line’ and ‘Chanakya’s Chant’, brings you yet another exhaustively researched whopper of a plot, while providing an incredible alternative interpretation of the Vedic Age that will be relished by conspiracy buffs and thriller addicts alike.
My Review:
Before I write anything about this book, let me confront the truth. This was the first book of ‘Thriller’ genre that I have ever picked and after reading it I can surely say, this is one of the best book I have ever read. I don’t think any of the suspense serials that we do watch on television can compete with the plot of this book.
The entire story cannot be disclosed here or else the book will lose all its beauty. You may read the book blurb written to know what the plot is but you can never guess the awesomeness of this book until reading it. You have to read the book to know what lies inside.
Apart from the plot, the inclusion of Lord Krishna’s tale, from his birth to his death makes this book unique. Not only will you enjoy reading this book, you will somewhat also brush up your mythology knowledge. The book is of 464 pages but even for once you won’t feel like dropping it down. The Author’s way of writing is simply superb.
My Ratings: 5/5
(You can't afford to miss this book, order it now)
