I smiled at the irony that while we, the trainees, were equipped with
rocket launchers, AK47s and other sophisticated weaponry, the head of the
mission confronted us with a measly pistol. I was still smiling as my fingers
pulled the trigger. The short, bald leader collapsed in a heap. Our jeep sped
away.
We left the camp that night, leaving a trail of destruction in our
wake. Scores of dismembered bloody bodies lay strewn all over the place. Almost
every solid structure had been reduced to rubble. Small fires flared at various
places. There were a couple of big fires that lit up the night sky. But what I
remember most vividly was the ghastly silence just before we left the site.
The above segment is a short
extract from my novel ‘Indians in Pakistan’, an
action thriller that will leave you spellbound. It will also immerse you into a
totally different world in which different forces are at play as jihadis plot a
rebellion against their evil masters.
Firstly, love blossoms between a
male and female jihadi during the terror training itself. Then there is a
sudden outburst of patriotism among the Indian jihadis at the camp. However,
the camp management uses harsh tactics to keep all the jihadis in check. Will
the Indians revolt? What will be the outcome? Buy the book to get these
answers.
‘Indians in Pakistan’ will
also take you down memory lane by delving deep into the history of the
subcontinent. It takes a frank look (a bit too frank some may say) on certain
controversial decisions and actions of people from both sides of the border
during and after the partition. It even revisits Pandit Nehru’s famous speech
made at the dawn of India’s
independence.

ReplyDeleteGosh, this is exciting stuff. Vivek, can't you give us a sneak preview, I mean, much more content before we can decide on purchasing your novel. How much would it cost-- 10$?
ReplyDeleteThis novel will be out in just a few weeks. It will cost less than 6$ (+ Shipping Charges). You can buy it on www.pothi.com - It will be on Flipkart and the other sites in a month or two.
ReplyDeleteIt really sounds like a boring book. Why should a book on Indians and Pakistanis interest us Americans. Besides 6$ for a book is expensive.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteMr Anonymous, how dare you insult a brilliant author like Vivek Pereira. Let me tell you that I am an American too and I just loved his first book 'Rose Gardens and Minefields - and I'm sure that this debut novel of his will be equally amazing. And let me tell you that $6 for a book is nothing - you surely don't know how to appreciate good literature. So, please stop shooting loads of crap. If I were you I would immediately apologize to Indian authors. But thank God I'm not you!
ReplyDeleteDorothy, thanks for defending my work and the work of all Indian writers. There's a huge difference between you and Mr Yabadabba Doo.
DeleteOK...yeah...whatever
ReplyDeleteLet's judge this book by its sales...
ReplyDeleteI can bet that the sale of this book will exceed your wildest expectations, you moron. The cover itself is fab.
