He becomes a star agent of RAW and when he is called for top secret meeting with Deputy Director Sadhu Chaturvedi; his sixth sense tells him that it is something that’s going to change his life forever.
But little did he knew that a task of finding a mole in the agency would take everything away from him, his reputation, the love of his life, Alisha and his best friend, Vikrant. And on top of that, he was unable to stop the traitor from fleeing the country.
But Ranveer was not someone to stay down for long. He vowed to bring that traitor to justice and set things in order. There was no agency back up. He was on his own against the might of a powerful enemy.
What happened during the mission? Who was the mole? What happened that caused that turmoil in his life? Will he be able to recover from this fall? Will Alisha ever come back to him? And what about his best friend Vikrant? Will he get his Retribution? Or will he forever be a broken man.
I have always been smitten by stories that are woven around the narrative of the Indian Army and/or Indian Intelligence Services like RAW. It gives a unique sense of pride to read such books and raise the interest quotient by various degrees.
The book is centered around one of the most decorated officers in the Army, Major Ranveer Singh. He is a seasoned campaigner and has been a bright guy all through his academic life. A common deputation with Vikram and a chance encounter with Alisha gives him two of the most valuable people in life. Everything is going well when one fine day he is called for a secret meeting with Deputy Director Sadhu Chaturvedi which changes his life forever. He is assigned the task of finding a mole in the agency and in the pursuit, his relationships with his best buddy and love interest are spoiled. Still, Ranveer doesn’t lose his courage and keeps moving forward. Will he be able to set everything right, both in his professional and personal lives? Grab the book to find out.
The book has all the elements from suspense, mystery, and a bit of romance. It does quench the thirst for different kinds of readers. The detailing of the plot is noteworthy. Also, the characterization is worth appreciating. All in all, a more than decent debut. Looking forward to reading further parts of the series.
This is a well-researched plot. The language is lucid and clear. The story was gripping and the narration was engaging throughout. The secondary characters are well-bounded with roots. The detailing of the scenes is depicted adequately. The title is well inclined with the plot and the cover is apt. The plotline is unique, however, at times, I felt they were too many details. The characters are concreted well with the plot. I must appreciate the author for a wonderful and engaging plot. This is a fast-paced book. The story ends in a cliffhanger, I can’t wait to read the next part. This is the first advent book of the author but it doesn’t seem like it at all. This is one of the best fictional books I read in recent times. I would recommend this book to all fictional book lovers!

Book Review:- The story and the plot were well placed and this one was definitely a thriller I couldn’t keep down.
The characters were realistic and had a great development.
But This would be a 4 star read for me because the cover can do quite better and I found small errors in it.There were so many characters, yet I thought that the author was not dragging the story at any point, to maximize the page count. The pace was perfect.
The storyline, though a little old but was interesting. I bet you can’t guess the end of it.
Basically, it revolves around Major Ranveer Singh in RAW, Indian Intelligence Services.
His mission was to find a mole, as in a traitor in the community. He took the mission but didn’t know at what price and what will be te consequences of this.Will he lose his reputation? Just for a mission? And be a broken fan, forever?
