This is a fast paced thriller dealing with the very real crimes of human trafficking and organ harvesting. The lead characters are quite well fleshed out and the plot is gripping. I had some trouble with the many coincidences and the rushed ending though.
In short, it is a decent thriller that is good to pass some time with and it deserves 3.5 stars in my opinion.
In short, it is a decent thriller that is good to pass some time with and it deserves 3.5 stars in my opinion.
The Plot:
A retired para-commando and his team come to the conclusion that the political system in India needs a serious cleanup. It doesn’t matter which party comes to the power, the wrongdoings with the public and the motherland are not stopped. It is the country and countrymen who suffer at the end. Corruption is so deep-rooted into the system that it exists in almost all the segments.
The story moves ahead on the them of nationalism and patriotic feelings.
Colonel Krishna and his K-Team show more think that this is the best time to strike. As the public is awakening and fed up with the system, once people will see some serious actions they will come ahead with new clean and patriot leaders, who actually want to serve the country.
He runs a clean up drive and to perform it, it is necessary for corrupt prominent people from various areas of the society needs to go, how otherwise, there can be the place for new clean fellows?
And the opponents, are not just remain silent and ready to be hunted, of course. They will launch their counter attack and try to uncover the real identities of the people who are running this drive, to hunt them instead of being hunted.
Who will succeed and how? Well, you need to read the book to uncover it :) .
Overall, the story is good and it goes with the feelings of most of the common citizens, and that’s with the feelings of most of the common citizens, and that’s why a large number of readers will like it for sure. In that terms, you can compare the book with a complete masala entertainer movie with the flavor of patriotism. Mukul Deva himself has served in Indian Armed Forces for around 15 years, and he possesses authority in various stuff.
Views and Reviews:
The book falls into the thriller category and despite being a crime thriller, just considering it a crime thriller is an injustice to the book. It is a combination of detective fiction, spy thriller and almost all the ingredients of a typical masala film. You can see it as a complete package for thriller lovers.
There is some adultery associated with a character in the book, so be warned for that.
Mukul Deva is a good author, he pens some of the lines in the book which will remain with you even after you complete reading it. Eg:
"
Stressed men were dangerous men.
—- —- —- —- —- —- —-
No matter how good, no warrior lasts forever. And death needed only just that one tiny window of opportunity.
"
The conclusion could have been more specific, but the author has left many things half-said. Should we expect a second book in the series to know more?
And yes, you can draw parallels to some of the living/dead people along with the characters explored in the book and you will enjoy it for sure.
We would love to give it 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5.

Once again Mukul Deva has woven together a thriller from some real incidents and a dream of a terror-free India. The tempo is better than the previous novels of the series. Some parts are really gripping. One feels that, in order to restrict the number of pages, few parts haven't been elaborated as much as they should have been. Also, a few things seem to happen for the protagonists very easily...
In all this is a very entertaining, pacey thriller that will hold the reader's attention all show more through. show less

RIP by Mukul Deva
The plot of RIP was topical of the times when it was written. But the execution is not up to the standard set by Mukul Deva himself, with his Lashkar series. The characters are one-dimensional and the narrative is monotonous. Though the action sequences are nicely developed, the story drags in the middle portion due to the romantic angle.
RIP is an okay read, written in simple language, that will not satisfy readers who expect a bit of complexity and substance from their thrillers.
