THE INDUS CHALLENGE

Bharat is in chaos. While the
kingdoms fight each other, Alexander’s forces gather for the assault, their
leader lured by tales of supernatural weapons and the elixir of immortality.
Only one man can save the subcontinent from domination by the Greeks: the
young Chandragupta Maurya, trained under the aegis of the ‘dark Brahmin’,
Chanakya.When an ancient seal is found, sharing the secrets of the
brahmastra, the redoubtable weapon of the Mahabharat, it is up to Rudra,
young commander of the Mauryan Nava Yuva Sena and lifelong friend and
confidante of Chandragupta, to decode it. Along with his fellow commandos and
with the able guidance of his guru, Rudra embarks on a quest that takes him
from the snowy peaks of the Himalayas to the seas of Rameshwaram, hunting the
clues that will lead him to the brahmastra. On the way, he meets the
Chiranjivis, ancient beings tasked with divine duties and learns the secrets
behind his own birth and his mysterious powers.But Rudra must be careful, for
not all enemies were dispersed with the death of the mighty Alexander.
Treachery lurks in the home and when Rudra is framed for the attempted murder
of his sovereign, he must pull every trick at his disposal to reveal the
enemy and save his kingdom from plunging, once more, into bloodshed and
chaos.A historical, mythological adventure story, The Indus Challenge is sure
to appeal to readers interested in the storied past of India and the legends
woven into its soil.
