So it was a big release in the month of April for Ashwin Sanghi. The release had it all- well you know the way bestselling authors do it. The grand launch at the Jaipur Lit Fest, a Bollywood styled book trailer, and of course full page advertisements in almost all local newspapers. Hmmm I do wonder… Does Ashwin Sanghi really needs such large scale promotions? He already has a couple of best sellers up his sleeve and is considered as India’s best-selling conspiracy fiction writers. Forbes India has included him in their Celebrity 100 list.

From Rozabel Line, Chanakya’s Chant, and The Krishna Key to the latest Sialkot Saga…Sanghi has sure come a long way.  I have read the earlier three books, where there is a seamless inter-twining of historical episodes with fantasy and fiction.

But “The Sialkot Saga” comes as a big disappointment, failing to deliver a similar magic.
