It is very rare that new Indian authors are able to astound you. I say "new" because Salman Rushdie, Amitav Ghosh, Vikram Seth, Arundhati (wait not Arundhati, she's too pretentious for my taste) have been astounding us for decades now. 
 So it was indeed a surprise when I picked up The Immortals of Meluha and found myself completely engrossed in it. A refreshing twist on mythology, it treats our Gods as if they were really human and then builds up to how we have come to treat them as sacred. The book ends in a sort of a cliffhanger and you will definitely want to pick up and read the next installments. Riveting, engaging and written fairly well; this will not disappoint...
