Title - The Sentimental Terrorist: A novel of Afghanistan Author - Rajesh Talwar Genre - Fiction Publisher - CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform A perfect dramatic novel which details the life of a Afghan Pashtun Sunni Muslim as to how he was forced to take up Jihad by Al-Qaida against his wish and what transpired in the end. I felt the novel was bit lengthy but it was certainly needed to add weightage to the story. Mohsin Khan is the lead character in the story. He was GOD fearing and always believed in doing good things and was completely against killing others to attain Jannat.  He falls in love with Mumtaz who was given a perfect certificate by him when she was interviewed by his superior officer from DRAC. Once he left the country for another assignment, Pierre comes into picture. Unlike his counterpart, Pierre did not give any chance to Mohsin to be with Mumtaz and at one point in time, he uses his position and persuaded Mumtaz to accept him as her b...

Title - Let The Game Begin Author - Sandeep Sharma Genre - Fiction Publisher - Inspire India Publishers ISBN - 978-93-85783-46-3 Do you like Chess? Do you like History? If your answer is YES, even to one of this, do not miss to read ths book. The book is set in two different time period - one that of epic age and one that of present day. How a King gets betrayed when there was a cold war between Chaturanga and Sarprakt and what happens in the present day is the actual story but the way, the characters had evolved makes this a compulsory fiction thriller to read. I loved the interconnect between the two periods involving lot of characters and though I felt bit bred in the initial stage, as soon as I got to know about the great plot being formed, I could not stop reading all the 35 characters in one stretch. There was love. There was deceit. There was revenge. There was redemption. One could find everything in this novel. The story begins with brutal...
