By Mohan Vizhakat. Grade: A

I was prepared to hate The Guardians of Karma the moment I saw the book cover. A faux modest façade in which a laser beam is striking a building and lots of graphics and grey. The cover was so surreal and so annoying that you just don’t want to toss it aside on the couch lightly but throw it with great force on the wall.

Star wars meet Indian mythology . tripura dahanam rewritten in science fiction style. Murthy concept is very good

The intriguing perspective within this book is unlike any other I've read so far – it presents the ancient Indian legends in a thrilling format of fantasy cum SF, thereby truly transforming them into vivid, gripping and intriguing alternative history.

Above all I guess the the most unique aspect if this book is the author's propensity to boldly ask ‘why not’ - refreshingly departing from the stereotypical views of mythology or spirituality - and impart them plausible scientific explanations.

Even though some parts of philosophical dialogues within the book may be heavy on intellect, the storyline itself is gripping and unputdownable.
