In the name of God….

Ravi Subramaniam…. In the name of God….
He is known as the John Grisham of banking though at the rate he is writing JG may soon be called the Ravi Sub of lawyers!…. Only Arthur Hailey before this would weave so much inner workings in his novels that you would feel like living that particular profession….. If you want to know about the hotel business then hotel was the novel to read, ditto for pathology and final diagnosis or electrical generation and over load….. His book on banking called the money changers was also such similar venture with so many accuracies on the working of a bank…
Ravi Subramaniam’s books on banking and bitcoins were very similar in premise to Arthur’s….. The last venture was a disappointment though and it’s nice to see him back with a bang (literally!!)…
The fictional connecting of dots is very important in any novel…. A good example was the first Clifton Chronicles by Jeffery Archer where the novel describes the same incident through three different characters. It was a good start but then the rest of the novels were utter chaos!…Who am I to comment on the workings of the Royal prisoner of his Majesty’s prison though!!….
Ravi Subramaniam’s connecting the characters and a great climax has always been very good and here also he doesn’t falter much… Some unanswered questions remain but I guess it’s better to let the sleeping dogs lie!….
Old and famous temple with underground treasures and so many conspiracy theories and I am amazed that the Sri Padmanbha temple has not been utilized by mystery writers much!…. Better late that never though the novel starts with a vivid discription of the temple and at the end of it all departs with more questions probably because the author wouldn’t want to ruffle feathers!!….
If you are eagerly waiting for the episode 3 of season 7 of game of thrones on Monday then this is a good way of passing time till then and a good change of pace from the gore!…..
Everything is anyway in the Name of God…..!!…
