Hi Mr. Nath I was eagerly waiting for the 2nd book but just now realised that I forgot the intricate sub plots of book 1 and I don't find any summary or blurb of first part in the sample e copy I downloaded from amazon, so I think I need to wait for 3rd party as well and read all three book together again. So why was this brief summary of 1st part not included in the first few pages of 2nd part to help the readers ?
Shatrujeet Nath
Dear Usha, Apologies for the delay in replying --- the last 2 days have been quite hectic. To answer your question... we did debate putting in a summary, but the world over, it is not a common practice in books that are part of an ongoing series. Also, The Conspiracy at Meru has been written in such a way that there are enough references / hints in it to things that happened in Book 1 to jog the reader's memory. So there really is not pressing need to re-read Book 1 so that Book 2 makes sense :-) As you can see from the reviews to the book, those who have read The Conspiracy don't seem to have had a problem connecting the dots. Hope this helps :-)

Hello Sir, I completed both the books of Vikramaditya series. As a kid I grew up listening about this legendary King. There was Bikram-Vetal, then there was Vikram Throne and the 32 statues and many others. I take this opportunity to thank you for writing such great fictions on this. I dare say it's one of the best mythological fiction series. When is the next book going to be out?

Hi Shatrujeet, Just finishing the third book of the series and I must I loved it. I'd love to see these taken to movie. It's been an amazing story telling in all three books. I am really hoping the fourth book would tie up a lot of loose ends, such as origins of 9 pearls and how they were connected to 9 councillors etc? Can't wait for fourth book. Good job and good luck.

I first picked up Guardians of Halahala (kindle) and was eager to read karachi deception, which was then not available on kindle. I found it now and am enjoying the read so far. When is the kindle version for the 2nd book going to be available ? I read that it is going to be available for pre-order in July and later releasing in August, but I still don't find it on the kindle store. Cant wait for Book 2
