The recent blend of Indian authors writing
in English has seen a new hero- the 36 year old Amish Tripathi, a guy
in financial services turned full time writer now. Amish’s debut novel
“The Immortals of Meluha” went on to become an overnight national
bestseller and has propelled the author into instant stardom. The
Immortals of Meluha was a part of a three book series called the Shiva
Trilogy, based on the life of the Hindu deity Shiva. Recently the second
book in that series was released, “The Secret of the Nagas”. Like his
first book, this book too has become an instant hit with pre-release
sales, nearing that of almost the amount of first printing. There can be
no doubt that Amish Tripathi is here to stay and that too in style.
