About this ebook

Nikhil Arya has fallen. Once, he was an Ivy League scholar with a promising future at NASA; now, at forty, he is broke, homeless, and minutes away from blowing his brains out in a diabolical modern-day joust. It wasn't meant to be this way. An innocent vacation turned into an epic intercontinental journey that saw Nikhil become first a genocide survivor, then a Buddhist monk, a drug lord, a homeless accountant, a software mogul and a deadly game fighter. Now, twenty years later, Nikhil aka Johnny is tired of running. With the Colombian mafia on his trail and his abandoned wife and son ten thousand miles away, he prepares for his final act, aware that he will have lost even if he wins. Or will he? Is there any greater victory than living a life that knows no limits, a world that has seen no boundaries? From the bestselling author of Keep Off the Grass comes the once-in-a-lifetime story of an ordinary man fighting an extraordinary destiny. Can he pick up the pieces one last time or will Nikhil, now Johnny, go down for good?

Ratings and reviews

The most surprising thing is this book is gripping in the start, goes too well till three fourth, and then delves into abyssmal mediocrity characteristic of amateurish Indian writers..its strange as if someone else wrote the climax or the author was out of ideas or just wanted to give it a happy ending..but anyways 75% is really fast paced and worth read

I loved it and read it in 3 hours max ....This is what Indian writing should be like ....

After reading dis book, became a fan of mr.bajaj. Story will hooked u till d end. Complete d book in single sitting.
