The Secret Of The Nagas by Amish - Paperback

Worth reading. No damage. Fresh book.

Good book

The second book 'The Secret of the Nagas' follows 'The Immortals of Meluha' the first book in the 'Shiva Trilogy' series. It is very interesting. You can't stop reading this book. Filled with facts, science, imagination. It took the epic to a new level. Every character in the book catches our interest. I would recommend reading the book.

The Secret of the Nagas The 1st book Immortals of Meluha built an atmosphere for an epic tale. A story unravelling truth that are beyond expectation and conflicts that could have been averted. Book I ended with tribal Shiva aka Neelkanth declaring and winning war on Chandravanshi to avenge the death of his friend Brahspati. The chandravanshi princess Anandmayi explaining the legend of Neelkanth and his act of liberating Chandravansi’s from cruel and evil Suryavanshi’s. this revelation perplexed Shiva and is utterly distressed. Book II begins with Shiva rushing to save Sati from a Naga attack where the Naga manages to escape leaving behind coins with strange engravings. Further investigation reveals the coin belongs to king Chandraketu the ruler of land of Branga. Shiva and Sati travel to Kashi to discover more of Naga people. The description of Kashi in this book is magnificent and it is here when 1st time the reference of lord Rudra takes place. Shiva is accompanied by chief Parvateshwar who get mortally injured trying to pacify a riot, he is cured by a miracle medicine that is found only in Panchavati. As the journey of Shiva continues towards the forbidden land and forest the story intensifies and takes readers by surprise. The story revealing friends as foes and foes are true alliance and accomplice. The gripping revelation of Naga people and story from their perspective is a delight to read. I was happy sad angry all at same time. The truth ok Kali and Ganesh is surreal and outlines Amish’s craft of blending mythology and imagination with ease. Shiva travels to Panchavati under the guidance of Kali, who knows how to reach the capital through the treacherous Dandak Forest. The end of the book has a surprise that will change the course of story. Myths are nothing but jumbled memories of a true past. A past buried under mounds of earth and ignorance

Love the series. Cant wait to see a movie series on this excellent book.
