Together, they conspire to steal the secret formula of the Suryavanshi holy drink, Somrasa. Abiding by their just means of lifestyle, there is persistent fear of terrorist attacks from the Chandravanshis, a clan-less civilization allied with the heinous Nagas. The narrative unfolds in the immemorial land of Meluha, where reigns the Suryavanshi clan, a highly civilized society of rules, regulations and guidelines. So in the meantime that I read this one, you should grab your copy of this one and wait for the next review.The Immortals of Meluha (Shiva Trilogy) is the first chapter of the Shiva Trilogy that showcases the making of Lord Shiva through a fictional medium. The ending totally lived up to the expectations and now I cannot wait to start the next book in the trilogy. I’m all praise for the author’s imagination after reading this book. The author has produced such a well woven story, describing even the smallest of details- from the architecture of Meluha to the duels between Suryavanshis and Chandravanshis, that for once you start to believe that this is how things happened in history. It is definitely a page turner and you would want to read it from cover to cover in one sitting.
The story is original and the narration simple and yet so gripping that it makes it hard to put the book down once you start reading it. The author has beautifully interspersed history with mythology and fantasy to create a potpourri for a spell binding plot. The story begins on a note that Shiva was just a mere mortal of flesh and blood who got exalted to the status of God by virtue of his deeds, his karma.
Excellent reviews about the book everywhere gave me another reason to read it. Though I would not call myself the biggest fan of books by Indian authors and I hardly ever pick them up for reading, I decided to give this book a try when one of my friends strongly recommended it.
