Operation Chaos
An edge of your seat action thriller.
A breathless chase to acquire a forgotten artefact.
A game designed to take hostage an entire country.
An experiment of total chaos by a mysterious psychopath.
The Rashtrapati Bhawan, New Delhi, India: An anonymous phone call traced by the Indian Intelligence sets up a chain of disasters and the President suddenly gets pulled into a vicious whirlwind of murders and explosions. Within a few minutes of the President declaring a National level high alert, a mysterious tape is discovered in the Durbaar Hall of the Rashtrapati Bhawan. The tape reveals a threat- a strange demand from a nameless psychopath.
When the nation's elite task force- 'The Black Cats', finds out that a major terrorist operation is about to commence, the loose links begin to connect. But then hell breaks loose when suddenly the country's prototype Hypersonic cruise missile 'BrahMos-X' goes missing from the DRDO's top secret facility. It is the work of the same unidentified maniac. The fate of an entire country now rests on the fingers of that madman.
But the President soon understands that they are not fighting against a normal enemy or a psychopath. They are up against a brilliant scientist, an eccentric psycho, a sly mastermind and a monster. He realises that it is no longer a battle of power. It is a battle of intellects and now it is his responsibility to thwart the psychopath's devious design.
The Black Cats commander David D'costa along with his team and the Intelligence Bureau works on finding the mastermind and to unravel the mystery behind the unusual demands made by him. The search turns into a breathless chase from the monumental halls of the Rashtrapati Bhawan to the hidden locations in the heart of the nation’s capital, through the remains of Nalanda to the dark caves of Ajanta. Exploring the trail left by the Buddhist monks hundreds of years ago, breaking the codes and unlocking the keys, they find the unrevealed secrets of the inner guilds of the monks.....
Where does the trail lead them?

they sortangabad to Sarnath can be a chopper ride.
It is too similar to all the crime fiction written by Indian authors. Also the ability to chopper from Aurangabad to Sarnath is a little doubtful. Loved the code breaking parts though.

Special operations or archeological adventure?
A good start, but something changes. The special ops team on an archeological expedition, however is a fascinating story line but have to be dealt with a sound and strong logics.

Purely lack of imagination
Seems written the novel for the sake of it. Like a B grade movie, all responsibility lies with one Commander with whom President directly interacts🙄. A stale khichdi, ISI, Buddhism, Muslim.....m crap

Fantastic archaeological expedition read, extremely engaging with multiple twists in the plot. Could have read it in one go! 📕 espionage, thriller and history blend, takes me back to Robert Langdon books.

Good read
This was slightly different in that it takes place in India. The places mentioned were slightly familiar and yet unknown. Interesting book.

A wonderful thriller
I am reading a book from this author for the first time. Not even once will anyone lose interest or find this book boring. Excellent piece of work!

Operation Chaos is yet another addition to the burgeoning genre of "espionage + history" combo thrillers.
It is quite a heady cocktail of Indo-Pak equations, the Pokhran N-tests, personal rivalry and search for a Buddhist artefact.
It is a crisp read and the writer doesn't linger on any one aspect for too long. Even the action sequences are of a rapid, blitzkrieg variety. There is no detailed historical flashback, only relevant historical references.
Although the antagonist is clearly one person, there is no single Jason Bourne / Robert Langdon-like protagonist. Some of the characters are etched fairly decently, while some others are not & overall there are no equally endearing or despicable characters.
Some clichés have crept in, especially in the romance part which, in my opinion, didn't do anything for the story and was "finished off", rather, as an afterthought. The depiction of Indian forces, though not awe-inspiring, is fairly neat & realistic.
The author has maintained a taut grip on the story, a probable reason for the book's non-failure rather than its success. In the end, Operation Chaos makes for a quick, light read, on a dull or a relaxing evening.

Good One.It caught hold of my attention and I completed in two days. It depicts a story of a Pakistani scientist turned Budhist to discover a valuable hidden artefact by solving a complicated trail starting from the Quitb Minar Complx and ending at Nalanda. Author arouses interest in historical pillars, phrases, cryptography and its interpretation.
