This very first book tells about how Shiva (here a common man) is trying to protect Tribe… And what he does to protect them…Īll characters are very well crafted and the character of lord shiva is kept very interesting as the lord Shiva is actually described… This book haves 417 pages consisting 26 chapters The concept of HINDU god “Lord Shiva” also Mahadev as a common Tibetan is catchy… The trilogy’s other two books are”The secret of Nagas” and “The Oath of Vayuputras“Īll the three titles has gained a great popularity in India… This is the first book of “The Shiva Trilogy” by author Amish. I'll read on a bit more, but I'm unlikely to finish "The Immortals of Meluha." All well and good, but that leaves this reader bereft of any sense of mystery exploration, discovery, intrigue, suspense or interest in the development of his character or story.
Here is a sample of the style: ' "What the hell is going on here?" Shiva asked agitatedly." Shiva, as the author cheerfully informs us in the first few pages, is a great warrior come to save Meluha (the presumed autonym for the "Indus Valley Civilization" according to Sumerian contemporary records) from its "terrorist" enemies, destined to become a god. Unfortunately, reading author Amish's blurb in which he describes himself as a ".boring banker turned happy author" is instructive, because the story reads very much like an alternate history/mythology novel written by a banker. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation." I thought this would be right up my alley and ordered it. I am a history buff and was searching in the catalogue under the "Alternate History/fantasy/sci fi/mythology" genre when this title came up, promising a novel set in "1900 BC.
