Ratings and reviews

I can get a paperback copy of this book for my library from Amazon, for RS 489. Why the hell will I even buy a eBook which costs me above RS 600?????? Too costly specially when there are no printing involved, it feels like Google is ripping us.

Another gripping and rip roaring story of adventure, intrigue and suspense. I struggled to close my book and sleep after a ' just one more page' situation deep into the night....the master of story telling does it yet again with another novel that will capture and enrapture to the bitter end and what a thrilling end at that......cant wait till the next enthralling tale ! Thank you for all these years of amazing story telling skill and magic.....my favourite author for all these years.

Gripped from the beginning to the end a very well written story as are all of his novels.
