My book 'Karna's Alter Ego' is doing well with the Indian readers. I was wondering how UK readers would like an Indian mythological fiction. One doesn't need to know Indian mythology to appreciate this book. It will be enough to know Karna, a hero from the epic The Mahabharata, despite all his talents lost out to Arjuna because the Gods always favoured Arjuna. My story is set in the modern times, the protagonist is equally talented but luckless like Karna; thus he is Karna's alter ego.

Here's the Blurb:
Karna, the ill-fated hero of ‘The Mahabharata’, was killed by Arjuna in the final battle. (Karna-Arjuna rivalry was much like Hector vs. Achilles.)

5000 years later, we have a man named Vasu, who is quite like Karna – born illegitimate, very talented but denied all credits in life, rejected in love. He begins to identify himself with Karna. Vasu misses a medal in the Asian games, gets caught for telling an innocent lie and is overlooked for promotion. And interestingly Karna appears to him after every debacle to assuage and encourage him.

It seems Vasu is Karna’s alter ego; but will he, finally, break the jinx? Will he win the endgame? This is not a mythological tale but a contemporary take on mythology.

The book is available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Karnas-Alter-...

The best part is there is a free Kindle eReader Giveaway going on now, not a book giveaway but a eReader giveaway. Details on: https://www.facebook.com/KarnasAlterEgo
