Prithvi, a twenty-one-year-old, is searching for a mysterious middle-aged aghori (Shiva devotee), Om Shastri, who was traced more than 200 years ago before he was captured and transported to a high-tech facility on an isolated Indian island. When the aghori was drugged and hypnotized for interrogation by a team of specialists, he claimed to have witnessed all four yugas (the epochs in Hinduism) and even participated in both Ramayana and Mahabharata. Om’s revelations of his incredible past that defied the nature of mortality left everyone baffled. The team also discovers that Om had been in search of the other immortals from every yuga. These bizarre secrets could shake up the ancient beliefs of the present and alter the course of the future. So who is Om Shastri? Why was he captured? Board the boat of Om Shastri’s secrets, Prithvi’s pursuit and adventures of other enigmatic immortals of Hindu mythology in this exciting and revealing journey.
So the book begins with intrigue. Prithvi is at an old woman’s house asking about Om Shastri and he claims to have witnessed events that happened long before he was born. But then when the narration turns to who Om Shastri actually is, the storyline becomes clearer.
the entire book focuses on what happened years ago On Ross Island, India, where Om Shastri is held in a secret lab to be interrogated by a team of scientists and doctors. As they begin questioning him, the true nature of Om is revealed and all are shocked and perplexed. But as the interrogation continues inside, and outside there are people who want to get their hands on something highly valuable. Something for which they would go to any lengths. The story continues with equal mystery and some action and at the end, the reader is left wanting for more.
I never give out spoilers in my reviews so, please forgive me for covering certain details. It would simply spoil the fun. Go ahead and read the book. You will not be disappointed.
