“THE HAND THAT STRIKES THE LION OF PUNJAB GETS SEVERED FROM ITS BODY!”
The above heading is actually an astounding dialogue from this magnificent book called ARIHANT REPROGRAMMED (Part 4) – MISSION MARTYRS that sent shivers down my spine! I came across the You Tube link of this Book trailer, which compelled me to read the Book. And ‘Oh Boy!’ this narrative was like a ‘Shock & Awe’ campaign for me, as it took a rapid dominance over my senses till the time I finished the book in one go. And the end result for me was simply euphoric!
I was taken on a pulsating journey through the time machine to enter an era of India’s struggle for freedom against the despotic British Empire. The author, Shubhan Balvally masterfully negotiated the complex terrain of science fiction and past historical events, showcasing his narrative brilliance. He also raised important issues concerning the nature of sacrifice, heroism and the transitoriness of time itself, all through the eyes of the main character, scientist Suraj Singhania and his group of futuristic warriors. There’s no doubting this instalment’s tremendous entertainment value and depth of narrative, even though some may scoff at the bold notion. This one-of-a-kind novel is a tribute to the author’s storytelling prowess and is guaranteed to have readers clamouring for more with its superlative blend of action, mystery and technological innovation.
I can surely guarantee that it would be the readers’ loss if they don’t pick up this magnum opus.
