Summary

The year 1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha–a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived.

This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills.

The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ‘When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.’ Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?

This is the first book in a trilogy on Shiva, the simple man whose karma recast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods.

The perfect series, read out most perfectly

I had already read the entire series twice before as I can never miss out on any book written by Amish, but just listening to these books the way Manish has narrated it, had a deeper impact - I felt each word getting etched in my heart as if I will now, never forget these words. It’s perfectly paced, there are background scores added at various places (only at places where it made sense) and the voices of different characters were beautifully reflective of their personalities and thought process, just like a reader would interpret each character.
Everyone should read these books, everyone should listen to these books! Brilliant !

Hindu texts meets Conan the Barbarian

Those stories about divine blue men you heard in primary school RE lessons reimagined as surprisingly gritty pulp-lit page-turners. It works better than you might think. The sound effects were a bit much, but the Indian narrator is smooth as anything.
