Against All odds, You live Only Once...
It is but human, to take things for granted and stay within the boundaries of our comfort zones, oblivious to the fact that our lives are fragile. How many times, we may have read the news of disasters like wars, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and landslides where thousands of people perish and yet we continue our lives as if we will live on forever!
Has it ever occurred 'what if' we were affected by one such disaster, where we or our loved ones may lose life or face gravest of dangers. Set against the backdrop of one of the most catastrophic earthquakes of this century in Kutch Region of Gujarat in India, in the year 2001, this novel is inspired by some real events and fiction bringing to fore all the intricate human emotions like death, grief, hope, grit and optimism as all characters in the book fight Against All Odds.
A fifteen-year-old trapped under rubble who struggles to keep his hopes alive as time ticks away, an army man who refuses to believe that his fiancée is dead buried under tons of rubble and a spy who comes to eliminate a dreaded terrorist in a jail that broke down in the earthquake.
Three stories of Love, Grit, and Espionage move on parallelly making it a thrilling read.
