Veil of Shadows
What happens when you can’t trust those who have access to the nation’s most secret intelligence? As the country makes big economic strides, the arrest of a local arms dealer, Keshav Thakur, alerts the Research and Analysis Wing about a plot to abduct the country’s top nuclear scientist, Hamid Ansari, who is in possession of a unique nuclear fusion formula. Meanwhile, a military coup topples the democratic government of Myanmar. And a novel overriding device called Vita is stolen. And so begins a race against time for R&AW’s top agents, Vikram Aditya Singh and Ranbir Roy, as they work to unravel the complex web that ties these seemingly disparate events together. Each turn brings a new mystery: Who is the shadowy figure pulling the strings and just how far does his reach extend? Is Professor Hamid Ansari truly what he seems? What deep conspiracy is Pakistan’s finance minister involved in? With so many unanswered questions, do Vikram and Ranbir have the right target in their crosshairs? Will they succeed?

My first Political Thriller and it couldn’t have gone better!!
Veil of Shadows revolves around a huge conspiracy, which involves the theft of an extreme dangerous hacking device and the abduction of one of the best nuclear scientists. And to solve this, people of R&AW are giving it their all, travelling through Pakistan, India and Myanmar.
It gave me the same adrenaline rush as Akshay Kumar’s movie ‘Baby’ but it was better because unlike the movie, my focus was not on action but only on the storyline.
I did find the book to be a little confusing initially, but once I got used to the dozens of characters, it was a smooth ride. The entire mystery had a lot of facets and their were so brilliantly connected that the book flowed like a movie only.
If you are a thriller fanatic, then do read this book because it is not like our usual crime thrillers. It’s multi-layered and you will love it❤️

A Thrilling Game of Secrets and Survival!
Veil of Shadows is one of those books that grips you from the very first page. It's full of mystery, suspense, and a lot of fast-paced action that never lets you get bored. The story is centered around two R&AW agents, Vikram and Ranbir, who are thrown into a web of political chaos, nuclear threats, and unexpected betrayals.
When a brilliant nuclear scientist, Hamid Ansari, suddenly disappears, it becomes clear that something much bigger is going on. The agents must act quickly, especially when other major incidents start to unfold—like a military takeover in Myanmar and a high-tech project getting stolen. Everything seems to be connected, but the puzzle pieces only fall into place slowly, keeping you guessing all the way.
The best part of this book is how real and intense the situations feel. The action moves from one location to another—India, Nepal, Myanmar—and every setting adds to the danger and excitement. There are so many secrets, traps, and twists that it feels like watching a gripping movie in your head.
This book is perfect if you like stories that combine spy missions, international politics, and high-stakes danger. It’s not just about action—it also shows how deep corruption and betrayal can go when power is involved.
Rating: 4.5/5
A solid, entertaining thriller that keeps you on edge till the end.

"Veil Of Shadows," penned by Siddarth Maheshwari, delivers a gripping political thriller that was an interesting read for me due to its Bollywood-like allure. The heart of this book lies in its meticulously crafted plot, offering a generous dose of adventure and intrigue with a lot of heart-pounding rush as it immerses readers into the intricate world of intelligence services.
While the story's pace keeps you on the edge, I couldn't help but wish for a more concise writing style. At times, the narrative seemed to meander, making certain portions feel dull and elongated.
Nonetheless, if you harbour a passion for espionage and the intricacies of political intrigue, "Veil Of Shadows" is undoubtedly a page-turner tailored to your tastes. Maheshwari's storytelling prowess ensures that readers are engulfed in a whirlwind of covert operations, political manoeuvres, and unexpected twists, making this novel an enthralling read for enthusiasts of the genre.

In this book chaos unfolds with the arrest of a local arms dealer and tip about the upcoming abduction of Hamid Ansari, country’s top nuclear scientist that puts R&AW on alert.
I blame Bollywood for wiring my mind such that I can’t read Indian thrillers without imagining Akshay Kumar, Hritik Roshan or SRK as protagonists. Forgive me for stereotyping but these well built government officials with their high morale compass who save the country from reaching it’s doom, one mission after the other.
Veil of Shadows takes it’s readers through the landscape and politics of India, Myanmar and Pakistan.
With short chapters and a gripping plot I am sure it’s going to be a hit with most readers. The book wasn’t working for me in the beginning but kept getting better with each chapter.
The chapter called ‘The Plot Thickens’ had me biting my nails! What’s noteworthy is despite a plethora of characters none of the character has been written in vain. Each one serves a purpose of making this political thriller a must read.
If you want to ‘read a Bollywood movie’ this book is for you!

A definite page turner which keeps you glued to the story till the very last chapter for sure!Though there are innumerable characters involved,the author's idea to give a brief info about the person in topic through general conversation is a best idea to avoid any confusion or the possibility of losing the track of the story!Yet another very impressive point I found about this political thriller was that,throughout the entire story I really couldn't suspect ANYONE thinking that they might be the so-called 'Top Hat' and also I was never really able to even remotely guess what might happen next(usually we would be able to guess right at least once at any point of a thriller story and the author would try to frame many people in the course of the story to turn our attention and suspicions towards them).This peculiarity was very new and was impressive.
I felt like I was taken on a tour throughout India and some parts of Pakistan,Myanmar,Nepal.The backdrop of each scene was painted more vividly that at some point,I felt like I was trekking the mountainous terrain with Naina.
Almost everything was plausible and there was ALWAYS a logical explanation given for any course of action taken by the characters making the story more realistic and acceptable.
I also gained some knowledge on how things work at the intelligence level and how missions are carried out at a painstaking level BUT without a hint of them happening!
I honestly have gained some respect for the spies and intelligence agencies after this read.
A compelling read which would even throw some light with your knowledge on the world of espionage,spies,inter-government undercover operations,etcetera...

This is a political thriller,set in the world of RAW and intelligence.
Book is set in where RAW agents Ranbir Roy and Vikram Singh are on mission to rescue Ansari, a scientist who conducts nuclear fission reactions . Along with this there is a a device VITA stolen.
The author has a firm grasp for espionage, as I was also interested in themes where this happens, I thoroughly enjoyed this book with its wild ride and page turning story.Every character is different and loved for its personality.It is like a mystery puzzle.
Some lines in the book really captivated me…
“Life is not a gam of poker, we cant gamble innocent’s life”
This happens when Vikram wants to catch the ISI agent read handed at the cost of innocent life.
“Life is a series of calculations. We must never let them realise our next move”
“At some stage in life every individual starts to make selfish plans for their future.”
I have watched many spy movies , realised this book is a bit slow for me. But this one has intricate plot twists and suspense to keep you going.The surprise at climax is worth a read.
Overall its a action & suspense packed book. You are in for a ride. Pick it up if u like political thrillers.

Another suspense thriller down for the year. I guess I am going back to these suspense thrillers. This story moves around our R&AW agents and intelligence services. You will find a touch of Bollywood in this story.
The story moves around two protagonist Vikram and Ranbir who are known for their intelligence and way of handling a case. Vikram usually ends up in a mess due to his ways. They use most unconventional ways to sort of three cases they have in hand.
The mystery intensifies as the book moves forward. The book is a page turner and the cases are not stretched. as the story moves fast there is no scope for monotony in the story. The movie is filled with action and clues are dropped in at frequent intervals. If you are a Bollywood fan, you will definitely guess the culprit and enjoy the book.

A smoothly flowing story with a twist all of the sudden - that's how a suspense thriller works right? Here too we have something like that. Vikram and Ranbir are investing a case and they get to know a greater conspiracy against a well known scientist. As the investigation moves further they get into a more complicated web of mysteries. The layers of cases are added to the story and in no time they are investigating 3-4 cases at a time.
I doubt it will be a movie as soon as Akshay Kumar lays a hand on this book. Full with action packed sequences from the R&AW agents, this books includes political scenarios, plotting, terrorism, India-Pakistan rivalry and cold wars. Amidst all these there is kidnapping, theft, murder, loyalty, betrayal and all other factors that makes the story interesting.
So if you are into reading suspense - thriller Bollywood masala stories, this one is for you.

Veil of Shadows is going to be your top choice if you are looking for a Fresh Thriller Recommendation
The story starts with the arrest of a local arms dealer and the R&AW ream gets the hint of abduction of the country's top nuclear scientist and devices.
Two intelligent officers get involved in this and start to unveil more secrets about this group.
And that's how it takes you on the tour of India's critical borders to unfold the history.
From the very beginning, the plot is fast-moving and tons of surprises in every chapter.
But lots of characters often tormented my brain cells 🙃 but I can bear that because I couldn't guess where it was going until the very end!
I have read only a handful of political thrillers, this is at the top of the list so far.

The country's top nuclear scientist, who possesses a unique nuclear fusion formula, is abducted. A novel overriding device, Vita, is stolen.
R&AW's top agents set out on a mission to save the country. Mystery and conspiracies weave a complex web of confusion. A man in the shadows has all the strings to pull. What will be the consequences?
This fictional espionage saga has all the elements: mystery, thrill, action, and a good plot.
The book had an interesting opening chapter, which was followed by rather slower narration. But as the story got complex, it picked up the pace and became a good page-turner.
With hope for refinement in writing style, I see this as a breath of fresh air!

This book was a typical action movie written with ink on pages.
The writing style was amazing. I was impressed with how accurate the details were mentioned. The author did a great job in researching.
Moreover, the length of the book was appropriate for the story. There was no unnecessary drama. There was a constant switch between the frames of reference, and the author handled them very well.
I'm very excited to read the rest of the work by Mr. Siddharth. He's a gem as an Indian author.

Simply the best "spy thriller" book for me.
Veil of Shadows is the second book of this series. The first one is "Lynchpin: The Best Laid Schemes of Mice & Men.".
If you want to know how our protagonist joins the R&AW. Then you should start the series from Lynchpin. Although this is totally a new beginning for both of them after lynchpin events.
Veil of Shadows is a roller coaster ride for a reader like me, who loves spy thrillers. I have no doubts that in the near future some series or movies based on this book will be made in Bollywood.
The story starts from the arrest of local arms dealer Keshav Thakur. When he was arrested, he gave some important information to India's top agency, R&AW. Also, meanwhile, the country's top nuclear scientist, Hamid Ansari, who is in possession of a unique nuclear fusion formula, is kidnapped.
I think Maheshwari has done a brilliant job in this book because of the research he has done on this highly sensitive topic and on the various government agencies, how they work, and how they deal with these catastrophes around the country. He has also done good research on the border that connects India and Myanmar and how illegally or officially (legally) weapons and men can be transported and migrate from one country to another with the help of higher echelons, which will definitely give you a real-life feeling.
This book is a page-turner from the prologue itself. If you are a spy series or movie lover, you will definitely get the goosebumps and adrenaline rush in your body from the prologue. What I love about this book is the character of Vikram; he doesn't have any emotional connection when it comes to the country. He just wants to catch the perpetrators or criminals as soon as possible, no matter who comes in between. Also shoutout for the Ranbir, who is calm and composed and analyses the situation in a very logical, analytical way.
And do not forget Naina, who has a cameo in this book. I'm just waiting for her solo mission, as Maheshwari has given a hint in this book that shows how clever and capable she is.
In the end epilogue of the book, damn man, it is just like a post-credit scene that we see in the Marvel movies. It is sure-shot best thriller book of the year for me.
At last, not to forget about the author Siddharth Maheshwari, who has done brilliant work on both his books, "Lynchpin: The Best Laid Schemes of Mice & Men" and "Veil of Shadows." I just hope he will introduce us to more such adventures of Vikram and Ranbir as soon as possible because whoever has read both the books will definitely be waiting for the next part.

Extremely interesting.
This is a very pleasant surprise as an Indian political and crime thriller.
The plot itself is very interesting and near a OTT limited series in the making I'd say.
A very well researched, detailed and such well articulated storyline. Great characters and depiction of extreme scenes written in an easy english making it running Iive in the mind.

Espionage. Secrets. National security.
If you enjoy high-octane thrillers with an Indian intelligence backdrop, Veil of Shadows deserves a spot on your TBR!
From the very first chapter, the book pulls you into a world where nothing is what it seems. A missing nuclear scientist, stolen defence technology, and rising geopolitical tension set the stage for a fast-paced race against time. The plot moves across borders, keeping the stakes high and the suspense constant.
What I loved:
1. The cinematic pacing - it reads like a spy movie playing in your head
2. Strong focus on R&AW operations, adding realism and intrigue
3. Short chapters that make it hard to put down
4. Twists that keep you guessing about who to trust
Writing Style:
The writing is crisp and straightforward, perfect for thriller lovers. It doesn't get bogged down in heavy descriptions, instead focusing on action, strategy, and suspense.
Keep in mind:
If you enjoy deep emotional arcs, this book leans more toward plot-driven storytelling rather than character introspection - but that works well for the genre.
Perfect for readers who love spy thrillers, political intrigue, and mission-based stories with an Indian context.
A gripping read that proves danger often hides behind the strongest
If you enjoy high-octane thrillers with an Indian intelligence backdrop, Veil of Shadows deserves a spot on your TBR!
From the very first chapter, the book pulls you into a world where nothing is what it seems. A missing nuclear scientist, stolen defence technology, and rising geopolitical tension set the stage for a fast-paced race against time. The plot moves across borders, keeping the stakes high and the suspense constant.
What I loved:
1. The cinematic pacing - it reads like a spy movie playing in your head
2. Strong focus on R&AW operations, adding realism and intrigue
3. Short chapters that make it hard to put down
4. Twists that keep you guessing about who to trust
Writing Style:
The writing is crisp and straightforward, perfect for thriller lovers. It doesn't get bogged down in heavy descriptions, instead focusing on action, strategy, and suspense.
Keep in mind:
If you enjoy deep emotional arcs, this book leans more toward plot-driven storytelling rather than character introspection - but that works well for the genre.
Perfect for readers who love spy thrillers, political intrigue, and mission-based stories with an Indian context.

Fabricated the story in a wonderful way . Unexpected events took place , many unpretentious faces revealed. Everyone was suspicious. It was very difficult to find who was mole in R&AW or in the department. It was a great threat to the Indian nation. Will Ranbir Roy, Vikram Aditya Singh and all other agents be successful in protecting the nation from the upcoming threat? Or they were the mole ?
The story is like an interesting piece of a puzzle , you will be excited to solve it . Every piece seems impossible but all will fit in unexpected ways. It was a very nice story, much above my expectations. I am glad that I read this marvelous novel.
I thank @storyarkbysiddharth for writing such a wonderful novel and giving me a roller coaster ride in the fictional world.

Veil of Shadows by Siddharth Maheshwari is a gripping political thriller that blends suspense, action, politics and adventure. The plot revolves around the abduction of nuclear scientist Hamid Ansari and a stolen overriding device called Vita.
The plot is intricate and well-crafted and the narrative is filled with tension and excitement. Initially, the writing did feel a bit off but as the chapters progressed it became better. After the first few chapters I liked the pace at which the story ran.
I enjoyed the whole unpredictableness of the plot. There's always something that's about to happen and that keeps the reader eager to know more. There were also many unexpected twists and surprises that make you unable to even remotely guess what's about to happen even if you have read many thrillers.
The author has given meticulous attention to the presentation of the plot. The descriptions were so vividly detailed, that right from the start, I felt like I was watching a movie and the depiction of various incidents and the people involved adds to that movie-like experience. But in spite of it there were times when certain particulars felt a bit overkill. The different settings of India, Pakistan, Myanmar and Nepal were also portrayed well.
The writing is easy to understand and the story gives a reasonable explanation for everything which makes it realistic and reasonable. I don't read many books by Indian authors so to me the writing style did seem subpar.
The author maintains the suspense and keeps the readers guessing until the very end. The twist that comes towards the climax was unexpected and I liked how Naina got her "moment" in the end.
If you are into thrillers then do give it a try.

In the heart of a thrilling narrative, a distinguished Indian scientist vanishes from his own home, seemingly abducted by Pakistan to exploit his nuclear expertise. Amidst the shroud of secrecy, R&AW strategically maintains the veil over this incident, orchestrating a grand game of espionage. Meanwhile, an enigmatic tech innovation is stolen from Pune, leaving behind no traces of the perpetrators or their motives.
The stage is set for a high-stakes mission as R&AW assembles a team to untangle the complex web woven by these two major incidents. Vikram and Ranbir emerge as the frontline players, while the likes of Arvind, Parth, and Wasim Khan work tirelessly behind the scenes, orchestrating a multi-dimensional strategy.
What took me by surprise was the unexpected depth of this book. It managed to surpass my initial expectations. The narrative approach of assigning significance to every character, including Naina, defied the conventional norm where a single protagonist hogs the limelight. The cleverly orchestrated climax, involving Naina's pivotal role, added a satisfying twist to the tale.
A rating of 4.5 stars befits this enthralling plot, well-crafted writing, and thoughtfully developed characters. The story has all the makings of a captivating film, and I could easily envision it on the big screen. The lingering epilogue hints at the possibility of a sequel, leaving readers eager for more. Satya's reasoning for his escape, however, still leaves room for skepticism and contemplation.
