Let The
Game Begin! By Sandeep Sharma
Year Published : 2013
Publisher : Inspire India Publishers
Pages
: 170
Format
: Paperback
Book Synopsis
Two kingdoms, Chaturanga and Sarprakt,
separated by a mystic mountain range are at war with each other since ages.
Chaturanga, ruled by King Viratha, is soon bestowed with a dynamic heir, and
the whole kingdom is drowned in rituals and festivity. On the other side,
Sarprakt is executing a cruel conspiracy. King Viratha, crippled by the
conspiracy, urges the mysterious man of the mountain to devise a method to
recreate the conspiracy and that gave birth to 'The Game of Chess'.
****
Serial killings shock the nation as the police are rendered clueless. The killer leaves behind a trail of chess pieces with a strange message. Random people are murdered. Connoisseurs of different fields - History, Chess and the Security forces - have united as the next intended victim is the most powerful person of the country. How is Chess involved in the whole scenario? How will they find a man who died 4000 years ago? Can a person defy the laws of nature? Does history really repeat itself? Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

My
Review
Let
The Game Begin, a story which dwells into history of Chataranga, the kingdom ;
the place from where the chess originated , a curse and hatched plot which
became sole reason for the pages which are added in the books of history we
read and the destruction of the other kingdom .
Story of a lovable father who losses his only son and reason for his
existence , but he returned . He returned to take the revenge . A story which
tells us our previous birth sanskar
follows us in our following births and the karma will make you pay for your
wrong dos .
Being
the second novel of Sandeep Sharma , the book was totally commendable . The
book left me content and surprised by the way it was penned down . The cover
and the title was just amazing . Both the things so relates to the book . Job
choice!
I
always hated history but after reading the book I am inclined towards to know
about my own country more . I want to know,
read and learn the glorious past of India where the kings ruled, the battle
they fought and the history they created for us. Prof.Dinesh Gandhi , a
historian or better call ‘ The Historian’ man who was itself an encyclopedia of
the history , the most loved and respected professor . His knowledge about his
subject was above the par that he served the nation . Dinesh , was most inspiring character ; the
man who coined the whole story due his research on the history of Chataranga
and solved the most of the mystery of the story . The second I enjoyed the man
who turn the table , Vyaapi ; the immortal , who traveled from the past to the
present twentieth century . Vyaapi , who defeated the death and knows the
future , who knows the reason why the thing happened .
The
book had so many enjoyable portions but I would love to highlight that left me
spell bounded , first the opening
murders , the boy who defeated the world champion which his indifferent move .
The other one was the chase which continued till the end . And the book was
worth page turner because I truly enjoyed the thriller portion and the way the
history part was penned keeping track with the story line .
The
overall book was amazing and thriller driven . I was not astray in any page
while reading the book . The presentation was perfect . The language was very eye pleasing and readable . The book was
so good that I completed it in one sitting and it wasn’t guessing but I felt I
correctly recognized the hidden character .
I
would love to rate this wonderful blend of history and present 4/5 . Great Job
Author!!
