"The lost temple" by Vishwesh Sharma - Shiva's weapons!
This book is published by Educreation publishing in 2016 and has 260 pages.
Dr. Ela Sen, an archeologist, gets a call from her ' more than a friend' Prince Surya after 4 years asking her to come and help to decipher clues and find something. Shivnetras call Aghori's to help because a secret that was revealed. A secret they were guarding for centuries. Russians are involved and so are French. Even Chinese are involved. Government of India sends Marcos (Martin Commandos) on the mission led by Rudra aka Rudy also known as Hunter.
What did Surya find? Can Surya and Ela reconnect? Why are there foreign nations interested in something from ancient India? Can Rudy counter the foreign mercenaries? What is the secret?
Ela is a beautiful, intelligent and determined archeologist. She likes Surya when they were in college. But one day he left without saying goodbye. Now years later he calls her and asks for help. He discovers some ancient artifacts in his old family Haweli. Rudy is the best commando and even better leader. He is tall, handsome and intelligent.
The book is written in amateurish way. The clues and the tracking don't appear authentic, they appear shallow. The attraction between Elsa and Rudy seems artificial. The characters other than Ela and Rudy are underdeveloped. Several threads are left unattended like what happens to French? Where did the Chinese go? Why rescue the neckless? Why kill the General?
I had high expectations from this book, but it fell short on all counts.
Why did I read this book? Subject.
What I didn't like? Writing.
What did I like? Umm....
