A seemingly random selection of heads of state are struck down by unnamed killers who work with the clinical efficiency of butchers. Except, they leave no trace of their methods. Away from this world of assassins and bloodshed, Vijay Sundaram, a scientist who is wholly absorbed in his work and oblivious to the catastrophe about to stifle the world, is propelled into the labyrinth that is Milesian Labs, a research centre deep in the forested hills of Uttarakhand
What he stumbles upon is a primordial clue to a galactic secret that could accelerate the downward spiral of humankind. Trapped in the midst of the madness and completely unaware of the identity of his actual foe, Vijay races against time to save himself-and humanity. Zigzagging from Rama's crossing to Lanka to the birth of Buddhism, and from the rites of Minerva, shrouded in frankincense, to the smoke-darkened ruins of Nalanda, master storyteller Ashwin Sanghi's Keepers of the Kalachakra is a rollercoaster ride of a novel, and a terrific addition to the Bharat Collection that will leave you gasping for breath.
