Introduction
Me thinks
When I read the blurb and
all I was curious as I kept on wondering if really Indian fiction has finally
got its own sci-fi author. The book is truly very well written when it comes to
the detailing of characters and the plot.
This book is like cheesy French fries- delicious, crunchy, cheesy, yummy, melts in the mouth and you just want them to never end!
P.S: A special THANKS to Nimi - Readers Cosmos for sending this book for review!

I was curious to read this book. Just few days back I was lamenting on my Facebook

how I am dying to read something un-put-down able . And here I get the answer
in the form of this book! You can view the official trailor of the book HERE to see what the book holds in store for you.

Me thinks
To be honest sci-fi is a
genre I usually stay away from for I somehow cannot connect with it except
ofcourse Dan Brown’s books. I enjoyed reading the Krishna Key by Ashwin Sanghi but
then after that no other author in this genre could catch my attention for
long. Having heard a lot about this book on the internet and reading its
reviews I was very curious to read it when Nimi from Readers Cosmos came up
with this review program. I immediately grabbed it!
It is intriguing and
ofcourse being the first in the Svastik trilogy it sets out a certain level of
expectation for the reader from coming up titles in the series. Baramulla as a
place is very known thanks to the activites that bring it to news time and
again. And adding the word bomber to it makes it catchy title too good to
ignore if you catch it on the racks.
The author has done a
truly commendable job in this book by handling the nuances of science fiction
mixed with history, mythology and facts with perfection. The narration is very
gripping making you turn page after page as you keep reading this pacey
thriller wanting to know what is going to happen next. The author has done an
exhaustive research behind this and it shows when you hold the book in your
hands. Not at any point did it feel boring or out of context. Rather it was
constantly a moment of anticipation. It is like reading a history book but
without being taught about the boring details. Being told about mythology but
in a manner that you would keep saying then? Long after the narrator is done
narrating the anecdote. Highly recommended for all sci-fi lovers, it is a
thoroughly enjoyable read!
Foodie Verdict
This book is like cheesy French fries- delicious, crunchy, cheesy, yummy, melts in the mouth and you just want them to never end!
