World War II. British India. A covert war beneath the surface of Empire.

The Indian National Army of Subhas Chandra Bose is on the Indo-Burma border seeking to liberate India. The British Indian Army is engaged in war with Allied support to prevent this.

A chain of events begins undermining the war efforts of the British Indian Army. Arsenals burn, army convoys are sabotaged, trains carrying aircraft parts explode, and senior colonial officials collapse without explanation in the secure atmosphere of a prestigious club.

As investigators chase shadows across the subcontinent, a chilling truth emerges: a clandestine network is striking at the heart of imperial power. Ordinary people, driven by belief rather than recognition, perform extraordinary acts that quietly challenge imperial power.

Inspired by real wartime events, this historical espionage thriller explores resistance, secrecy, and moral courage during the final years of the British Empire.

On April 14th, 1944, two major events occurred. The Indian National Army raised the flag of Free India for the first time in the liberated area in Manipur at Moirang Kangla.

Same day, a devastating blast at Bombay's Victoria Docks rains gold, destroys ships, and sends shockwaves through British India. This was the biggest explosion in the Eastern theater of World War 2 till dropping of the atomic bomb.

Industry Reviews

1.I had a different mix of emotions throughout while reading, from fear to anger to hope and courage all at once. I finally had to come to the realization that it is not just about explosions, sabotage, or war but about people willing to work for the good of their nation regardless of the risk involved.

The author's writing is informative, well-detailed, and vivid; it felt cinematic, like I was right there at the scene. I love how I was kept in suspense throughout the book; it made me want to turn to the next page quickly to find out what the next chapter holds. In addition, I loved how well-rounded the characters were.'-Faith Strable reviewing for Online book Club Org.
