Publisher's summary

244 BC

Asoka the Great discovers an ancient and terrible secret - a secret buried deep in the Mahabharata; a secret that could destroy the world; a secret hidden away for over 2,300 years....

Present Day

A retired nuclear scientist is murdered. He leaves only emails with clues for his nephew. He and his friends follow a trail through ciphers and 2,000-year-old ruins. Pursued by powerful dark forces, caught between the secrets of the past and the intrigues of the present, can they unravel the mystery before an unspeakable horror is unleashed on the world?

Gods NO!

This is awful. Painfully, woefully, awful. I made myself finish it in the hopes it would improve but no, it's a total train wreck. The plot seemed promising but the author needs a thesaurus and to actually visit the places he writes about to give it more local flavor; Patna could have been Kansas for all the descriptions of location and customs. The editor should be fired for allowing sentences like "the commander of the commandos commanded that they...." and so many others like that. The characters are flat and lifeless with no descriptives to flavor them beyong Collin is an American genius and Vijay's friend. He's a main character, present in almost every scene but we don't know anything else about him. Does he like the local food? The weather? Is he worried about drinking the water or weirded out by all the monkeys? No clue. He is a genius, a friend and an American. Raddha the love interest is Indian and a scientist. That's it, that's all we know. Is she Hindu, Sikh, Christian? Does she dress in a traditional sari or in western clothes? Lazy writing makes for an awful book.
