The Immortals of Meluha

SHIVA! Who is he?  A valiant warrior,  an extraordinary dancer, a true friend, a passionate lover or a GOD sent messenger much revered as the "Neelkanth"? Shiva, the hero of "The Immortals of Meluha" is a tribal from Tibet. He is a man with intellect, a human with a soft heart, a humble, composed  personality, witty with a great sense of humor.

The author has adorably crafted Shiva. The entire book keeps you glued till the end, craving for more of Shiva's adventures. Perhaps, every single character in the book owes its existence to the relation it shares with Shiva. The work appears to be a fiction with mythological names and characters. Infact, this is the core competency with which the writer steals the reader's heart. The story is fascinating, adventurous, legendary, scrupulous and open to interpretation.

However, the writer needs to meet the reader's expectations now. I'm hoping all the open loops in "Shiva Trilogy-I" get successfully closed in the subsequent books. All the best, Amish! :-)
