The Shiva Trilogy - Book Review

This tale of epic adventure takes place in the ancient world of Meluha, also known as the Indus Valley of old. It is here that we are introduced to Shiva, a tribal warrior chief who learns that destiny has a bigger role for him during his travels to Meluha. We are also introduced to the two clans of Suryavanshis and Chandravanshis who are at loggerheads with each other.

It is in The Immortals of Meluha, the first part in the Shiva Trilogy, that we come face to face with all the main characters in the series. It is in this first part that Shiva learns that he has a bigger part to play in the history of Meluha since he is the one chosen by the Gods to destroy all evil in the land.

It is also in this book that our hero falls in love with the Suryavanshi princess Sati and comes face to face with the mysterious warrior tribe of the Nagas who have taken sides with the evil Chandravanshis.

Due to its unique plot and the innovative blending of history and mythology, The Immortals of Meluha, first published in 2010, went on to become a huge success. The author also created a lot of buzz around the launch of the book due to some smart marketing tactics.

The book had a very catchy cover and the author also released a small trailer film around the book which went viral all over the internet.

The second book in the series is The Secret of the Nagas and the plot of this one will take off where the Immortals of Meluha ended. Due to release in August 2011, this book is expected to become a huge hit from day one itself.

Currently the book is not available at retail stores but can be ordered through some of the online retailers in India like Flipkart.
