A military thriller which remains true to its genre. A recommended read.
Recently I came across this book by Shiv Aroor. I've started reading the book without many expectations and gradually I started enjoying the way it is written. Here are our spoiler-free reviews for the same. [You can find detailed reviews of this book at our website.]The Plot:A young girl named Varuna who was visiting Kashmir with her friends was so mesmerized by its beauty that she cannot think that this place could be dangerous. Like her other friends and many youths around the world, she also was connected with the social media in a “more than required” attachment! While on her way to the airport with her friends, her car was force stopped. The driver and all her friends were killed and she was abducted!The attack didn’t give her any time to react, and she could not have done anything otherwise. She was taken to an unknown destination by the kidnappers. And it was not within the country!But, why was she abducted? Is terrorism rising again in “the heaven on the earth”? But then also why a young girl like her? Or was it something much bigger, which is not known to many?Views and Reviews:The book touches some of the aspects in a way that other authors often doesn’t like to explore to stay away from controversies. Shiv took a brave step in that regards. It is not rare to find such examples in some of the countries through. Anyway, let us talk about this book and various aspects of the same.These days, it is not rare to find abusive words in a book or even some forced adult readers specific scenes, this book is free of them and I like this attribute as well.Some of the interesting lines found in the book:There’s nothing as pure as revenge.-- -- -- -- -- --If there ever were a bridge no one wanted to cross, it was this one.-- -- -- -- -- --You ever heard of field magic?-- -- -- -- -- --Summary:It has the right mixture of action, emotion, drama, nicely built characters, patriotism.We would love to give it 4.5 stars out of 5.

Loved this book
I had read Shiv Aroors earlier books.This was really special as it brought me the excitement of a real situation. Aroor has embellished the book with so many details reading it was a wonderful experience.

Awesome thriller
Wow! Very very good story with good action all the way. The writing style reminds me of Tom Clancy. I'd love to see more of this as a series.

Worse than a David Dhawan movie
This book exceeds the ridiculousness of C grade movie script. If not for the sheer stupidity it would be a affront to the special forces around the world. Be prepared for your common sense to be consistently challenged in this hair-brained creative writing
