While we would have read novels that are set to be happening across various parts of the world, for a change, this story was set to happen in Wuhan. The way the storyline was set and the progress of incidents make it a perfect thriller which makes you keep engrossed in it until the end.
Initially, I never had a clue that this story was about the global pandemic but as and when the story progressed, I got a hold of it and felt that this was real.
The way Jake, the protagonist starts his investigation and how he was given only a day's time to do a covert operation under the direction of W.H.O. and the Indian Govt gives you goosebumps that this is the Indian equivalent of James Bond.
The imagination of the author is truly commendable as he has taken a really delicate and controversial subject and handled it in his own style. If you are looking for a really good detective story that is set to happen in unexplored territory, this novel is highly recommended.
This book is available on Amazon in both Paperback and eBook formats.
