Looking for another book written by GD Roberts....but can't seem to find any.....I loved Shantaram, didn't want it to end, and wish to find a similarly compelling novel!

I think a very similar book in intensity is "I Am Pilgrim" by Terry Hayes which is fiction unlike Shantaram. It is a similar length and also spell binding.

shantaram is the 2nd part of the series gdr is supposed to write. there's gonna be a prequel to it and a sequel too. The next book is called 'the mountain shadow'. Its the sequel to shantaram.

He has a new book coming out in October called "The Mountain Shadow. I think it's a follow up to Shantaram.

I would recommend The Buddha Of Suburbia by Hanif Kureishi. Although it doesn't have the exotic setting of Shantaram, and not all the adventure in the classical sense, it is a brutally ohnest semi-autobiographical novel that ponders ones morals and choices in life.

Avoid The Mountain Shadow. I adored Shantaram, but TMS fell far short of the mark and Roberts character, to me, was infinitely disagreeable.

The mountain shadow

Marjorie Davis
Shantaram sequel is "The Mountain Shadow"

Check out The Power of One. Not as gritty as Shantaram, but just as compelling!

The sequel "The Mountain Shadow" is supposed to come out in October. (Source: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/11/...). In a letter to a (n angry) reader (http://wildchild1962.hubpages.com/hub...) Roberts said he'd planned three books in total, Shantaram being the second in chronological order.

I would recommend "Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry and "City of Joy" by Dominique Lapierre.

Maybe it's an obvious suggestion, but I feel Shantaram is comparable to Papillon by Henri Charrière in many ways.

I read Mr Nice by Howard Marks a couple of years ago, and for me it had the same kind of entertaining writing style as GD Roberts. Also a true story (and there's a film)
