Tantra (English, Paperback, Adi)
A Page Turning National Bestselling Tantric Thriller!
Anu is a leather wearing, no-nonsense professional guardian with a reputation for killing the most dangerous villains in New York City. But when her enemies murder the one person she truly cared about, all she wants is vengeance. The only clue points to New Delhi, so Anu puts in for a job transfer.
In India, she finds more than she expected. For one thing, her fellow operatives have made a truce with the vampires. For another, its way too hot to wear leather.
At first, it seems Anu's biggest challenge will be evading the nice boys her aunt wants her to marry. But when children start disappearing, she discovers forces older and darker than anything shes faced before. All of Delhi is in danger, especially the sexy stranger who sets Anu's pulse racing.
To prepare for the coming battle, Anu must overcome her personal demons and put aside years of training. This time, her most powerful weapon will come from her mind, not her weapons belt.
Reviews
"West dissolves into East and the book flowers into a very interesting, original and thought provoking adventure... will definitely find its place on my bookshelf." - Maneka Gandhi
“It’s a page turner, it is action packed, so it is an action novel as well! There are real serious action sequences. Being an actor, I imagined it as a movie. ” - Soha Ali Khan
"From the streets of Delhi, to its clubs, to ashrams and coffee shops, the characters in the book are three-dimensional, each with their own agendas and flaws." - Times of India
"India finally gets a thriller that while being worthy of its traditions and philosophy is able to connect to the modern reader. Spirituality, religion, vampires, and life are wonderfully handled. A must read." - Greg Boyce
About the Author
Adi grew up reading fiction books by flashlight, hiding under the covers, pretending to be asleep. While it must have affected his academic life the next day, he still went on to get degrees from Stanford University and Harvard University, which he uses in his life now as an entrepreneur and researcher.
Adi has also published a poetry book and a minor textbook. He wishes he could withdraw all copies of said poetry book from the market. At the time, it seemed poignant, but now it's just embarrassing. The textbook still seems all right.
He splits his time between India, Dubai and Zurich. Deeply impressed by the vast religious history of India, he could not help but pick this topic for his first novel.
