Immortal
by Krishna Udayasankar
Description:
When immortality is the ultimate prize, the stakes are bound to be high. Professor Bharadvaj is more than just another whisky-loving, gun-toting historian-for-hire. Behind the assumed identity of the forty-something cynical academic is a man who has walked the earth for scores of years. He is Asvatthama the cursed immortal, the man who cannot die. When Professor Bharadvaj is approached by the enigmatic Maya Jervois to search for a historical artefact unlike any other, he is reluctant to pursue it. The object in question, the Vajra, is rumoured to possess incredible alchemical powers, but the Professor does not believe it exists. After all, he has spent many lifetimes and identities searching for it, in a bid to unearth the secret to unending life. Yet, as the evidence of its existence becomes increasingly compelling, the Professor and his young assistant, Manohar, are plunged into an adrenaline-fueled adventure punctuated by unspeakable perils to unravel a puzzle left behind by the ancients. A thrilling adventure novel by the inimitable Krishna Udayasankar.
