Ashwatthama Vs Parshuram: The immortal force by Gunjan Porwal

​"Ashwatthama Vs Parshuram: The immortal force" by Gunjan Porwal - Immortal mytho-fantasy!. 

This book is published in 2021 by Gunjan Porwal and has 450 pages. 

Time of WW II. Hitler’s General Voss is trying to conduct an experiment in abandoned salt mines off Breslau. An experiment that will create a Wunderwaffe that will change the outcome of war. Present day Prof. Raghav has made a break through about stabilizing worn holes. A duo of scientists are under pressure from investors. A werewolf (नरवृक) has abducted one immortal. Another immortal has left the company of his kind. There is an enemy who is attacking the immortals. ACP Megha Lonkar is following a human trafficking case. RAW agent Shruti is tracking case of nuclear material being smuggled in India. 

It’s a fantasy, series in mythology, spiced up by the seven chiranjeevi (immortals). There is the good story, fast pace, action packed, with enough twists and turns and topping off with time travel. Especially the time travel story is fantastic. Readers remain engrossed. 

The Ramayana sub plot is also very well executed. Coupled with various paradoxes related to time travel, it gives the readers goosebumps. 

There are consistency errors in this book. In one chapter Parshuram sees a symbol tattooed on deadman’s arm. In another it’s mentioned as a symbol that Parshuram sees on the notification screen of mobile of the dead man. In one location Markandeya is called Parshuram.  ‘Kasa ahes?’ a question addressing a female as male.  Avoidable. Kripacharya sends SMS on 31st July in first chapter but in the last chapter he denies it and author writes someone else sent the message on 1st Aug. 

Although book is titled Ashwatthama Vs Parshuram, in reality it’s a misnomer. That’s not the story. 

The book ends with a unveiling of an object that would lead to another adventure. Looks like Gunjan is going to convert this venture into series with immortals. 

Why did I read this book? Curious title. 

What I didn't like? Misnomer. 

What did I like? Concept.
