The Immortals Of Meluha (Paperback)

The Immortals Of Meluha Book Description

About the Book :

1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha – a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived.

This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills.

The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ‘When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.’

Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?

This is the first book in a trilogy on Shiva, the simple man whose karma re-cast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods.

Amish has created a niche for himself with the Shiva Trilogy. A great book which keeps you grappled till the very end. The valorous Shiva and the other characters have been portrayed in sync with their true personality. However calling Sati a widow seems a bit incongruous. Since it's a work of fiction, the author can be acquitted of that charge! Overall a nice read. I look forward to the sequels eagerly.

Infibeam had been a bit slow in shipping this book on time. (Took over a week to dispatch the book from the date of payment)
