Johnny Gone Down Book Description

About the Book :

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?

I know it is too hollywoodish... And too distint from reality and too not-so-possible kind of story.. But I liked it..

I always fantasized of a life like this.. Man, Johnny, you rock!!

Dont even compare this story with the reality, the word 'fiction' mean imagination.. Just imagine..

Superb read, was so involved in the story.. A roller coaster ride a of adventure and emotions...

I ask everyone to atleast read this book once..
