In the misty heights of Sikkim, Guns were silent but spies were not. Indian, U.S. and Chinese agents shadowed each other in a deadly game where one wrong step could spark a war.Amidst the barren ridges,
As the kingdom trembled, its Queen, Hope Cooke, found herself shadowed by allegations of being a CIA hand. Into this chessboard of royals, rebels, and rival agencies stepped Ajit Doval — the unseen player who mapped every move.
While others watched the palace, he watched the shadows behind it, exposing the invisible war for Sikkim’s soul.
It was not just a clash of royal throne vs common people, but of a duel of spies, where Doval’s silence proved mightier than proclamations of royal agent.

I am a big fan of Sir Ajit Doval and this book, while a great attempt to capture the life story of Mr. Doval, I sincerely think that it could have been a better execution. At the beginning of the book there are many mistakes, both grammatical and in spelling, and I don't understand why the author keeps on referring to the United States of America as U S An. Beats me. Each chapter captures the essence of the time the events played out but there is very little mention of the part that Mr. Doval plays. I personally feel that a bit more information on how Mr. Doval played the environment at that point in time would have been really really helpful. I would have given it a five-star rating but for the mistakes in grammar and spelling and also a very little mention of Mr Doval in each chapter. I think the star is lost. But for anybody who wants to understand the recent sequence of events in free India and how India's foreign policy has changed from just waiting and watching and hoping that the others would play their part to one taking a very very serious stance about how they want to defend our country, this is a great book to read.
