Publisher's Summary
In 334 BC Alexander the Great begins his conquest of the Persian Empire. But his plans for everlasting glory do not end there, and the young king marches towards the Ends of the Earth - the lands of the Indus - on a secret quest. It will lead him to an ancient secret concealed in the myths of the Mahabharata - a secret that is powerful enough to transform him into a god.
Present day. In Greece the ancient tomb of a queen is discovered, a tomb that has been an enigma for over 2,000 years.
In New Delhi, the Intelligence Bureau discovers unexplained corpses in a hidden lab. Vijay Singh and his friends, now members of an elite task force, are sucked into a struggle with a powerful and ruthless enemy. In a deadly race against time, they will need to solve a riddle from antiquity that will lead them to encounter shocking secrets from the past - secrets that will reveal mystifying links between ancient history, the Mahabharata and the ancient enemy with diabolical plans for a future that will hold the world to ransom.
The Quest has just begun...
After The Mahabharata Secret, Christopher C Doyle yet again explores the science behind the enduring mythology of the Mahabharata and brings it alive in a contemporary setting. The result is a gripping story that will keep you hooked right until the last minute.

Mediocre
Very good in parts, very boring at other points especially when dealing with technicalities, the author completely loses control over the storyline. The worst part is it still continues without ending. The performance was however flawless for which it deserves full marks. In one line - will I like to read/hear the next part? An emphatic NO!

A good story spoiled by a tone deaf monotone narrator
The narrator needs to be replaced. Get someone who understands the context and can differentiate between chapters and characters.
The linking of myths to facts is amazing.

Chilling
Spine chilling fantasy fiction. Wish there was more completion to it. Some aspects of the story are totally unbelievable making it stand out as a work of fiction although epics are referenced and reader is made to believe things could be true. There seems to be a hurried end to the story.

Fantastic
Love Christopher Doyle's books.
the intricate tapestry woven around Mahabharata, ancient Samudra Manthan, with modern day whodunnit twists, keeps the reader hooked.

You can live without reading this
Classic case of don’t judge a book by it’s cover. I started this since I was interested in historical accounts of Alexander. And it turned out to be fictional one - not sure that secret is actually a secret.

Abrupt ending to otherwise a great plot.
I liked everything about the book, the story is great. Narration is very good. Suspense is gripping, pace is just right. weaving of multiple stories and timelines is great.
But highly disappointed by the abrupt ending. Intention behind such ending is to force reader to buy the sequel. After having read the book for so long, when we expect the climax to unfold, the story ends. I feel I wasted time reading it, even if everything else about it was excellent.

A decent fiction but a very bad Indian accent
the story keeps you engaged and it's a decent fiction, but the pronunciation in the Indian accent is terrible, especially the word "Mahabharata" considering it forms the Crux of the story.

Great story, full of intrigue.
Really enjoyed it. A lot of poetic licence but a nice introduction to Indian mythology. Have to read the sequel!
