Book Review of "The Secret Of The Nagas"

Read the book long back.... Here's the review!

"The Book takes of from where ‘The Immortals of Meluha’ the first book of ended.The plot is consistent and all the loose ends connect to a complete pattern. Story as before is fast-paced, you are eager to know what comes next.Other old characters such as Nandi, Veerbhadra and Drapaku have smaller roles, instead a Chandravanshi prince Bhagirath is the new character that has his own intriguing sub-plot. General Parvateshwar, Shiva’s trusted Suryavanshi aide from previous book, a vowed celibate has fallen in love (oops, a spoiler – but now you need to find out who).But on the downside,there was a slight overdose of Melodrama which could have been told in a more subtle way.But then again its just my opinion.Let's Hope the errors or lets say the minor goofs in this book are not repeated in the final part of the trilogy "The Oath Of The Vayuputras" and get a compelling Finale of the trilogy.

Synopsis of "The Secret Of The Nagas" - The Secret of the Nagas is filled with intrigue and surprises, much like the previous installment, The Immortals of Meluha. The story kicks off with Shiva trying to decipher the motives of the Nagas, a race of deformed assassins who have killed his friend Brahaspati and are targeting his wife Sati. His path of vengeance leads him right to the land of the serpent race, where he needs to find the man who's the mastermind behind the elaborate attack planned on Meluha.

Shiva's journey throws many surprises at him, as he learns about the secret lying dormant in Maika, a city in Meluha where the newly-born are raised, and as his trusted advisors leave his side, fueled by darker motives.

Will Shiva uncover the truth and vanquish the Chandravanshis and Nagas?

Book Review of "The Immortals Of Meluha"

The Immortals Of Meluha- My review... Note: I was an Atheist before reading this book,Still an Atheist and will be An Atheist... :)
The Author himself has Told the Inevitable truth thru the book.. It was the deeds of the so called gods as Human that pushed people into believing that He(or they) are some kind of a Celestial phenomenon.. The author has cleverly borrowed characters and clans from the various Indian Epics into this Fictional Story... :) The names of all the characters have been derived from the names of Gods that people pray to Everyday...The basic plot of story, Shiva being an ordinary man who has been visioned as the ultimate savior adding some spice here and there with some believiable twists making it a compelling read... Waiting to Read the 2nd book "The Secret of the Nagas" Hopefully the 3rd book will be released soon... :)

Synopsis of "The Immortals Of Meluha" - The Immortals of Meluha is set in 1900 BC. This is the story of a man whom legends hailed as God. What modern Indians know as the Indus Valley Civilization was previously known by its residents as the region of Meluha. This was the near perfect civilization built by Lord Ram, who was considered to be one of the greatest monarchs ever lived; until doom befell the kingdom and the Chandravanshis allied up with the gruesome Nagas to attack Meluha mercilessly. All this, until 'the savior', Shiva, comes to the civilization.

Is he really the savior? Can the residents of Meluha avert this tragedy? This is a story of the times when Shiva was a man, who would be later deemed as God. The second book in this series is The Secret of the Nagas, which is set 4000 years after that of The Immortals of Meluha.

The gruesome Naga warrior has assassinated his friend Brahaspati and now haunts his wife Sati. Shiva is the destroyer of evil and he won't rest till he figures out his adversary. This book takes you on an epic journey throughout the entire country as Shiva endlessly tries to trace down the culprit; only to later find out that he has been betrayed by his own advisors.

With the forces of dark manipulating his every move, will Shiva be able to rescue Meluha again? Will he be able to unmask the shrewd puppeteer? This book is filled with unbelievable revelations and mysteries.

Book Review of "The Amazonia"

An F*ing Awesome Read this book was.... A Pure Spectacle... If this is to be made into a film, i see no one else but James Cameron directing this Epic.. Not Spielberg nor roland emmerich(his movies of late have been nothing but tonnes of crap)... Author James Rollins brings us a fantastic adventure called Amazonia. The author sets a pace of almost non-stop action from the beginning and the suspense almost never lets up. When it does, Rollins teaches us about various plants and how they are used to treat disease. This makes for some interesting reading that doesn’t detract from the suspenseful parts in the least.

Brief Synopsis-Four years ago, all contact with a U.S. medical expedition in the wilderness of the Amazon basin was lost; a 30-man team declared lost and likely dead. Now one of its members, Gerald Clark, ex-Special Forces, staggers into a mission but dies within hours. He carries identification and is also a CIA operative. Two years earlier, his left arm was amputated at the shoulder whilst in Iraq. Photographs of the corpse and finger prints reveal that the arm has grown back perfectly. Unable to comprehend this inexplicable event, the United States CIA organises a special team to return to this impenetrable secret world of undreamed-of perils and to follow the trail of the dead man. On arrival, they enlist Nathan Rand, the son of the leader of lost researchers. A mysterious plague, that threatens the Earth's entire population, leads back to Gerald Clark. This means that the route to the expedition's destination must be discovered at any cost. The nightmare that awaits Rand and the team of scientists and seasoned U.S. Army Rangers dwarfs any danger they may have anticipated.
