Five years after 26/11 - the siege of terror in Mumbai that brought the country to its knees - India still seeks justice. The terrorists who planned it have disappeared into the darkness they emerged from and Mumbai seethes with fury. All the Indian government has achieved is the establishment of counter-terrorism committees. But one man will stop at nothing in his quest to avenge the dastardly act. Retired Lt Gen. Sayed Ali Waris of the Indian army masterminds a covert mission with a team of daredevil agents: a sharp policeman, a suave tech expert, a cerebral scientist and two battle-hardened army officers. They strike like lightning even as they are pursued by the Pakistani army and the ISI, combing through every land and possibility in pursuit of the deadly killers. From Sweden to Istanbul, through Dubai, Pakistan and Singapore, they annihilate the perpetrators with single-minded focus, veiling the deaths as natural ones to save the Indian government diplomatic and political embarrassment. The stakes have never been higher. This is a nifty, edge-of-your seat thriller with an intricate plot and jaw-dropping twists. As Waris and his team navigate untold dangers towards a nail-biting climax, will Mumbai finally be avenged?

Being one the best writers in this field, the storyline and its impact on you when you read the book is amazing.Its worth spending time and money both for this book --Aaditya Mundra Jun 3, 2015
I was a little uncertain about reading this book but I was equally eager to know how the writer plans out the plot and carries it out by small group of dedicated people from different backgrounds. I am really pleased that I read it and enjoyed it thoroughly.It has an unusual story, very very difficult and extremely dangerous playing field but the author S. HUSSAIN ZAIDI has carried it out very deftly and successfully. It is worth reading and enjoying. --By Om Prakash Bajaj on 26 June 2015Rent & Security Return Pollicy
