The Sequel

by Rahul Sen

Sarat, a talented young man from Kolkata, India, aspires to become a writer. But he finds it almost impossible to get a publisher interested in his work. Michael, a highly successful author from England, migrates to Switzerland after turning into an international celebrity. These men live separate lives, thousands of miles away from each other. They have nothing in common, and yet an extraordinary incidence puts them on collision course. It seems the central theme of Michael's latest bestseller has been lifted from one of Sarat's unpublished novels. Sarat sues Michael for plagiarism, but it leads to his own destruction. Ria, a bright young journalist of Indian origin, is abducted in Kosovo. While in captivity, she falls in love with Fen, her captor. Ria suddenly discovers that they have something very common. A month later, Fen arrives in Switzerland. He, with help of Ria, plans to avenge the gruesome murder of his father.It is a story about the glamour and gloom of the literary world, and narrates how parallel lives in this world can come together under extraordinary circumstances. A crime thriller of a different sort.

✍This story is about two people who live thousands of miles apart but have nothing in common in terms of lifestyle or way of life. However, an extraordinary event brings them together. This story depicts how parallel lives in different parts of the world can collide under unusual circumstances.

✍Sarat, Michael, and Ria are the primary characters in this novel. Sarat is from Kolkata, India, and Michael is from England. Sarat aspires to be a successful writer, but finding a publisher interested in his work is nearly difficult. Michael, on the other hand, is a successful author who publishes best-selling books, yet one of his best-selling books contains material from Sarat's unpublished works, which is impossible. As a result, Sarat filed a lawsuit against Michael for plagiarism. Ria, on the other hand, is a journalist who was kidnapped but developed a bond with her captor. Her narrative is intertwined with Michael's and Sarat's.

✍Overall, the plot is ordinary, and the author has put in his best effort in writing this work. I am grateful for his efforts. This is a one-time read. You can give it try.
