Book: The Last War
Author: Sandipan Deb (sandipanonline.com )
ISBN : 978-9-3826-1601-6
Firstly, I find the cover of the book, The Last War, one of the most interesting and visually appealing covers in the current Indian books.
This book, The Last war, by author Sandipan Deb, is based on the Classic Indian War epic : The Mahabharata. The classical tales of grooming of the blood brothers, the deceit, the bad blood, the war mongering and the bloody battle is all recreated. This is the modern day version set amidst the hustle-bustle, the grime, the glamour, the scum, the glitterati, the fast pace and the rigid Mafioso of India’s financial capital and largest Metropolis, Mumbai, with a population of 20 million.
The story revolves around the classic concept of Mahabharata, family feuds with brothers baying for the blood of brothers.
Juxtaposed against Mahabharata storyline, 2 families of Pandanvas and Kauravas are represented by Vikram, Rishab and Jeet pitted against Rahul and Ranjit. Bothers of blood now out to annihilate the others existence. And the wiliness of Kishenbhai orchestrating the blood dance. All of this in the backdrop of the city of dreams and fame and deceit, Mumbai.
An interesting action and fast paced thriller by Sandipan Deb. Looking forward to more books.
