The Swift Summary- Series of events are happening in the
country. At one place a person on command of Paramacharya is ready to awaken
the greatest villain from the dark, on the other hand a reckless, carefree very
beautiful yet tomboyish girl Slash meets with an accident only to be saved by
someone unknown in a very supernatural way.
If this villain gets up the humanity is at stake and there is only one
person who can save humanity from this threat that is Slash. Keeping an eye on
all the activities are like the yin and yang. There are other characters in the
story like Major Khanna, Council, Slash's friend and the Soldier who will help
Slash and is the mythological superhero.
Why is Slash, a 19 year old girl the chosen one? Will she be able to defeat
world's greatest villain? What is the actual motive behind all this awakening?
Read this fantasy, suspense novel to get the answers.
My View- The story revolves around something supernatural which is related to
religion and history. ON the other hand in the fast running busy life a teenage
girl meets with a life threatening accident only to be saved by someone who
wants her to save the humanity from the arising extremely dangerous villain.
The plot is new and fresh. The chapters are small and the story is grasping
enough.
The best part is the reader feel attached because the story always
unfolds a dramatic and magical turn.
The language is simple and explanation is vivid. The book is a must read
for all those who love super-heroes and believe in super natural activities.
About the Author- Pratik Kamat is a writer and
an artist. He started his career as a music correspondent for youth magazines
before switching to advertising. He currently works as a creative writer for a
leading advertising agency in Mumbai.
The Final Verdict- I find this book
a 'Coffee-table' relaxing read. It’s perfect for
those who like to read about superheroes, who love some unbelievable adventure
and powers. I will rate it 3.5/5.
