Outstanding research and story telling. but hidden. in mist of Insane amount of characters. quick change in storyline and messy/confusing climax makes the rating go down.
When I first read Krishna key book with limited characters and excellent depiction of each scene the only regret was climax. but this time ill-logical history references. characters skills and nature is unclear. more and more character emerge over time and confuse the storyline. and climax makes the worst sense of all.
Ashwin is great writer with good capabilities in pre-research but the skills like that of Dan brown in theological thriller is missing. a lot to learn over the time.
story is about bunch of people trying to go after ancient ruins and documents explaining Jesus Christ’s afterlife post the crucification. the illogics of people toward terrorist attacks. past life stories. and the worst end I ever read. read only if you have nothing else to read in the world. which could also sounds like "Never"(see how I matched the level of insane explanation)
