The Ekkos Clan is one of most engaging and intellectual suspense thrillers written in recent times and has all the essential elements of a bestseller novel. This book will unfold a new horizon in the domain of modern Indian Fiction. Set against the backdrop of ancient India, The Ekkos Clan is a mystery thriller that not only kept me captivated till the end but also enriched my knowledge about ancient India and hence brought me closer to my roots. As a thriller, it definitely kept me reading a...

It's a fast paced novel that takes you on a whirlpool ride across continents, cultures, civilizations and tons of mystery!!

I would recommend to read this book to everyone

An unassumingly surprising element of the book is the strikingly beautiful Kalash valleys in the Hindukush Mountains in Pakistan. The exotic surroundings of such a nondescript place hidden into some corner of the world, and that too in a part of Pakistan seldom visited, come alive in the book in its wonderful descriptions. It virtually transports to an unknown world, where the climax unfurls so suddenly. It’s just amazing. Equally interesting is Arkaim, another least known place tucked into s...

I can't totally agree with Richik. Why is it important to have a genre defined for a book? Genres are meant to profile a book and it's not necessary that every book falls into some predefined classification. But I do agree with Richik that this book, The Ekkos Clan, may not fit into the genre of a thriller - there's no car chase at 120kmph in some tunnel or some psycho wielding a dagger and hunting out people from dungeons to kill ... :) - but then I was indeed thrilled to discover many thing...

When I started reading the book, it almost felt like I was living it! The book transported me to familiar places in California sometimes and then to partition-time Bengal at others - an unfamiliar world which felt very real nonetheless. Rich in details about many subjects like history, astronomy and linguistics, every page had a new surprise. Romantic, Enigmatic, Thrilling, Informative - The Ekkos Clan is a delightful read!

One very interesting aspect of the book is that it portrays Pakistan in a totally different light. It uses ancient Indian history as the backdrop, but practically deals with a region which is now Pakistan. It's an irony that the most precious book of the Hindus came from Pakistan and not only that, the fact that there's still a living clan somewhere in the Hindukush who can claim to the oldest Hindus, is really an interesting thing. History and real facts have been very well exploited to crea...

Lots have been written about the Punjab side of the partition of India in Punjabi. Lots have been translated into English too. Amrita Pritam Singh, Khushwant Singh and many others have written poignant tales. But I haven't read anything in English about the eastern side - that's the East Pakistan or later Bangladesh. Bengal and Punjab were equally impacted, but somehow we get to hear more stories from Punjab. There may be many in Bengali literature, but I'm sure there's not much (is there any...

This is a well written novel of its unique kind. This novel is vast in all respect- time, space and knowledge. Starting from the ancient era, this novel goes back and forth in time effortlessly, travels across the continents, and enriches your knowledge with ancient Indian history, linguistic palaeontology, astronomy, music and so on. What I like most about this book is although it deals with so many interesting yet complicated topics, it never loses its pace of unfolding the mystery. Reading...

I was impressed by the intricate structure of the mystery, which kept me reading, curious to find out what happens next, as well as the depth and breadth of author's knowledge of history, music, linguistics, archaeology. This is a very well researched book, and as a reader, I found it interesting and informative. I was particularly interested in the historical content of the book, both the ancient history - the journey traveled by the Indo-Aryans that is revealed through Kubha's stories, and...

The reviews are quite exhaustive. I don't have anything more to say about anything that's not covered by previous reviewers. But one thing that no one touched base is the fact that it's perhaps the only novel (I haven't read anything else) which has used the San Francisco Bay Area so vividly as a backdrop. Not many people would even know of some of the places in Bay Area described in the book. Stanford and Palo Alto are depicted so well that anyone who has seen those places would be really ex...
