  An Engrossing Thriller to the Core!

  I am so happy I bought this book. It is...different, in a good way. It takes us to 2014 and how India-Pak relations are going to contour our domestic and international stability. A well researched, lucid, engrossing and amazing thriller. Khan has done a very commendable job of writing on sensitive issues with such impartiality and sensitivity, a very mature treatment from a writer so young. In short, a great thriller, and a must buy!

  Must Read! I Loved It!

  Disclaimer: This is a High IQ book. If you have a certain understanding of this world, you will love this book. But if you're looking for mushy romance or corporate angst, this is not for you. This is a far cry from the campus romances that are found in every nook and corner. This is one book with actual substance....A War thriller and a political novel that gives you a better perspective on this world. Great storytelling....amazing plot....and so fastpaced that it lives upto the tag of thriller it has! Must Buy!
