It has been some time that I have been reading this kind of genre but this book intrigued me, even before I started reading it. The way it was projected on Facebook and that, the images used, that was really good. Now, to the book, yes, its long. Quite long for a first time author.
The best art is that the novel, as it appears, has been researched quite well and the writing style is quite 'pro'. Another thing is the setting, the novel doesn't appear to be by an Indian, it seems by an interna...

This was quite a treat - a very well-written, well researched action-adventure-thriller by an Indian author. In keeping with other bestsellers in this genre, the 'quest' is for the secrets Shambhala is supposed to hold. The book begins with an intriguing murder sequence and the suspense and action build up very well against the backdrop of the history, legends and mystical aura surrounding Shambhala and the Kalachakra. Possibly due to the author's experience as a serving army officer, the war...

Started off with a lot of promise.One rarely comes across a thriller written by an Indian with such believable foreign characters. The research & the literary references/influences show & they are acknowledged in the narrative itself. Raghu Srinivasan has built a pretty strong pseudo historical/spiritual background for the story. The author's military background is evident when it comes to discussing weapons or war machines. The narrative flows effortlessly between various timelines right fr...

I read this few years ago. Its a great, fun read but left majorly disappointed towards the end TBH. I have only visited this page back to see if the author plans to release a follow up to the book. I hope there is!

The book was addictive and it was difficult to keep it down. It has a fast pace. The delivery by flipkart was bang on target, as usual. I would highly recommend the book.

Thank you everyone for the reviews, because of them i bought this book and i am glad i did.

Its a little length one...beautifully explained all the scenarios...does not drift away from the topic while providing information/references.

Worth a read. :)

An amazing tale that keeps you flipping pages till you reach the end. References to historic events and interweaving of narrative with current happenings makes it all the more interesting. The story builds up dramatically as one is transported across continents and timelines till it all falls in place towards a grand ending. Is there a sequel round the corner???

A very well written book, with an international feel to it. It keeps the interest alive, though it's really long for a debutante novelist!
It doesn't cater to only the Indian audience/ readers, but I feel, this book can do well and capture the imagination of a global audience.
Worth a read.

Excellent book by a new author who takes us on a roller coaster adventure .........he has build on the idea of shangrila and taken us into a new fantasy land.....looking forward for more pl........
