Publisher's Summary

A Pallava prince travels to Cambodia to be crowned king, carrying with him secrets that will be the cause of great wars many centuries later.

A Buddhist monk in ancient China treks south to India, searching for the missing pieces of a puzzle that could make his emperor all-powerful.

A Neolithic tribe fights to preserve their sacred knowledge, oblivious to the war drums on the Indo-China border.

Meanwhile, far away in the temple town of Kanchipuram, a reclusive scientist deciphers ancient texts even as a team of secret agents shadows his every move.

Caught in the storm is a young investigator with a complex past of her own, who must race against time to maintain the balance of power in the new world.

Welcome back to the exciting and shadowy world of Ashwin Sanghi, where myth and history blend into edge-of-the-seat action.

Good Story, Excellent narration

I enjoy Ashwin Sanghi's work. The other books I have read of his are Chanakya's Chant and The Krishna Key. His books are always a revelation. They bring me closer to our true history and culture. Nice one.

Brilliant Story teller

Throughly enjoyed the book! Hope this is the first of a series.

Only the multitude old names of countries/kingdoms, cities and rivers got quite confusing and was unable to decipher many of them.

Felt for the US and Chinese characters, perhaps another speaker or little more accent to give it authenticity.

All in all loved it....

Poor narration

Decent tale, but the narration was a complete put off. Even basic English words have been mispronounced.

Pronunciation

The pronunciation of Pallava or anything related to south india names were very bad i wish the narrator had taken some effort to get this correct.

Borrowed from movie

Plot looks to be borrowed from the hit tamil movie. Too may parallel stories going around and during narration it wasn't clear which story was going on.

Faulty narration

It was disheartening to listen to an Indian pronouncing Hindi words as a westerner would do. The ‘a’ sound at the end of each Hindi word is natural to a westerner as he can’t help it but butchers the Hindi language when done deliberately by an Indian.

The story too was in the realm of fantasy, with flawed knowledge of Indian army.
