The novel
Writing a novel is a work of inspiration and this novel fills that genre. The novel was written many years back but was kept pending till the writer finally decided to publish it. Notion Books, Chennai was happy to publish it. There is a lot of action, killings, and the most important part is that the book is laced with oriental erotica.
Notion Books an Indian publishing firm has taken pains and printed the book with an excellent get-up and glossy cover.
The book is on sale on-line in both paperback forms, as well as a Kindle e-book.

The Plot
The novel is set in the period when the British empire was on its last legs and as a parting shot had decided to divide India into two by creating Pakistan. This was a tumultuous period in Indian history and forms the background of the novel.
The hero is a Muslim Pathan tribesman who is benevolent, educated and above all a great warrior. The novel delineates his love affair with the daughter of a British major of the Indian army and subsequent affair with Anglo- Indian girl. In all this mayhem there are excellent erotic passages, as well as action. The hero kills with compunction, but he is just and fair. The novel also relates a feud between him and a Punjabi Muslaman who wants to drive the Hindus out of Punjab.
There is plenty of action and the reader can be spellbound in case he likes tales of love and adventure.
The book is available on all major online sites like Amazon, Flipkart, News hunt, Kobo, Google play, etc. I hope some friends will grab a copy.

Last Word
Considering that it is the first book, it's a commendable piece of work. Some passages do appear disjointed now, but hopefully, the writer will correct them in later novels.
The book runs into 252 pages and gives a picture of that turbulent time. The backdrop of a sizzling love adds to the allure of the novel. It's a good tale and readers should like it. It's also a tribute to the language of English which is now part of India, making it the biggest English knowing nation in the world. At a conservative estimate over 350 million Indians are well versed in this language. India has produced a number of top writers like Salman Rushdie and Kushwant Singh and I hope this novel will add to the repertoire of English literature published in India.
