Book Review: I am the 10th by D.R. Downer

 

 

Blurb:

Sarah, a happily married lady from New Delhi, India, wakes up one fine morning in an unknown place. It’s not her home, not her city; it’s not even her country.
What is she doing there? How did she reach there? Where is her family?
Her search to all these questions takes her on a journey, a long journey that started way back in the 3rd century BC, a journey where she finds out that everything she thought she knew about her- her marriage, husband, family, home, India, even her name- was a lie.
Will she be able to find out the truth? More importantly, will she be able to handle the truth if she finds it out?
Come and join Sarah on her journey that will take you to 300 BC and back. Witness the biggest and the deadliest battle ever in the history of mankind that could well spell the end of humanity and the end of this world. Experience the might of the ancient Shastras and Astras, like Naag Pash, Brahma Kavach, and Narayan Astra.
Based in modern times, ‘I Am The 10th’ is the story of one of the oldest, and arguably the mightiest cults that originated in India during the 3rd century BC.

My Review 

This book is different.
Downer has spanned the centuries with his story. From the past to the present, if flows effortlessly. He has managed to keep the suspense and the thrill in place and yet it is easy to read.
The characters are however not fully developed in this book, though I expect we may get to know them a bit more as the story progresses through the series.
There are a few leaps in the story but overall mythology and science have come together to create a riveting tale.
I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.
