First look at The Conspiracy at Meru: Vikramaditya Veergatha

First look at The Conspiracy at Meru: Vikramaditya Veergatha Book 2

Guardians of the Halahala has a new look as well!

The deadly Halahala, the all-devouring poison churned from the depths of the White Lake by the Devas and Asuras, was swallowed by Shiva to save the universe from extinction. But was Halahala truly destroyed?

 

A small portion still remains – a weapon powerful enough to guarantee victory to whoever possesses it. And both Asuras and Devas, locked in battle for supremacy, will stop at nothing to claim it.

As the forces of Devaloka and Patala, led by Indra and Shukracharya, plot to possess the Halahala, Shiva turns to mankind to guard it from their murderous clutches. It is now up to Samrat Vikramaditya and his Council of Nine to quell the supernatural hordes and prevent the universe from tumbling into chaos!

A sweeping tale of honour and courage in the face of infinite danger, greed and deceit, The Guardians of the Halahala is a fantastical journey into a time of myth and legend.

Reviews for Guardians of the Halahala

The story is interknitted with action, brilliant storytelling, and insightful of mythological and legendary elements that get under your skin and challenge the way you perceive history, as only few of the talented authors can. ~ Shreya Ganguly @ The Notepad Reviews

I am intoxicated, drugged, and floating in a world that has come to conquer my senses since the last few days. The world of Vikramaditya. The world carved by author Shatrujeet Nath. ~ Amrit Sinha on Goodreads

The quality of writing is powerful and beautiful, almost surreal. ~ By Manish Mahajan on Amazon

In fact the only disappointing thing about this book was that the second part isn't ready yet. ~ Srikanth Sarathy on Amazon

It is time to acknowledge all those who helped me make this happen. The cover of ‘Unbounded Trajectories’ is out. After days of hard work, patience and perseverance, the UT team has finally put up a good show altogether. 

To start with, my sincere thanks goes out to all these wonderful people:

Shantanu & Nitish: My two lovely brothers! If only you two had taken me seriously and had helped with Photoshop, this book would have been completed one month back. But still, thanks for all the love.

Book Review: 18 via Teen Be Yourself by Shreyasi Rhittika

18 via Teen Be Yourself

Author: Shreyasi Rhittika

Publisher: Dream House Publication

Rating: 2/5

Summary

Teenage years are the years during which each and every teenager is trying to put up a balancing act. But life is not a bed of roses and there might be a fat chance when the odds decide to turn against you. ’18 via teen be yourself’ is a sincere attempt to throw light on those not-so-comfortable incidents that every teen might face. The book has several short but fast paced stories that are sure to make you break out in a cold sweat.

Grab your copy to know more!

My opinion

Life is a continuous process but dare you say that everything works like clockwork. It is very difficult (sometimes) to get the ducks in a row and sail smoothly through the floods and tempests. ’18 Via Teen Be Yourself’ is one such book that offers an insight into different stories that have emotions and morals attached to them. The cover of the book is vague. It definitely does not excite the readers. The title seems ambiguous too. It could have been ’18 via Teenage’. The blurb is fine but the excessive use of capitalization and the use of wrong pronouns give an overall negative impact. The font (style, size) is fine. 

There is a motivational quote in the beginning of every story which I liked the most but the credits are missing. Since I received an e copy of the book, I would like to point out the flaw in highlighting. There is no proper highlighting. Somewhere the quotation is highlighted and in other places, text. The stories are fast paced and definitely live up to the expectations of the book. My special favourites include:

Thanks for nothing- story that speaks volumes, strong plot, and stark reality.

Teenage Crush- beautifully executed, title could have been better.

(ache)₂O- average story but superb creativity with the title.

The book lacks proofreading and editing. Time and again you can spot grammatical errors, typos and other errors for which I account the author responsible. This is because some of the errors are merely due to ignorance. There are syntactical errors as well and words are missing. The stories are fast paced and definitely live up to the expectations of the book.
