Kalyug by R Sreeram
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
So it starts with a theory and the theory culminates into a full-fledged plan, to achieve something that no one can imagine witnessing in the world's largest democracy. What starts like an orchestrated effort by an agency never heard of before by anyone in the world; results in so many people getting involved right from the president of USA to the intelligence agencies of Unites Kingdom. Are they scared of the situation or do they want to use the chaos to their advantage?
What happens next is a clash of egos and show of power by the secret wing of Indian intelligence, a direct warning attack on the POTUS, through his direct aid. Leaving the most powerful person on the face of earth, in a state of disdain.
A few of my favorite quotes from the book are:
“Gone are the days when Bush said jump and Blair asked how high."
“This was Kalyug, but I am no Kalki. I don’t need the hassle."
You have everything here, a storyboard that keeps you glued and an array of events, that keeps you thinking and wanting you to read the last chapter directly, but rest assured even if you read the last chapter midway you will be intrigued more to go back and read everything that has lead to the events that happen towards the end.
At the end I would like to congratulate the author Mr. R Sreeram, for the great story telling skills shown by him in his first Novel; looking forward to more Novels coming out from him in the near future.
