Posted on Amazon Jean D.Verified Intriguing espionage triller An intriguing espionage thriller that was very hard to put down. I did have a hard time at the beginning keeping up with the back-and-forth between the future/current settings, but I just needed to pay closer attention to the chapter headings. Action-packed, but no gory scenes. Was very hard to put down until I finished it.Posted on Amazon TraceybytheSeaVerified An intriguing political thriller I enjoyed this very much. It's set in Kuwait, which makes it slightly unusual, and gives a flavour of the politics of culture of the country, including the climate and the way parliament works. It's set slightly into the future but is nevertheless quite authoritative in terms of creating a world of spycraft which seems very relevant to today. If you like exotic locations and fast-moving thrillers that reflect the geo-politics of the world and offer different viewpoints, I recommend giving it a try.Posted on Amazon catmanVerified Corruption thrives everywhere While finding the time travel confusing at times, all came together in end. A look into a world far from mine.Posted on Amazon BooVerified Breathless espionage thriller Superb edge of the seat writing. Another brilliant thriller from Puja Guha. If you only read one book this year, make it one of this author's for a real treat.Posted on Amazon Kindle CustomerVerified Kuwait from the spies view I loved the fact t this was not a terrorist book even though Iran Iraq Kuwait was mentioned following petra Grant and kasem stories And finding out a bit about politics in war torn places would have liked a wee bit more action in it but enjoyed it and im starting book two Road to Redemption if you want something a bit different it told brilliantly this book is for youPosted on Amazon Michael R. SlezakVerified A potentially great spy novel unfortunately fizzles with the constant flipping between the past and the present. The author had a great plotline going and then she detailed the stories momentum by constantly flipping between events in the past and actions in the present. This technique works well when used selectively, but this was more along the lines of an overdose!I award this novel 3 Stars.Posted on Amazon Gary FVerified Really enjoyed first half of book Really enjoyed first half of book. Then it began a downhill slide of believability. Even with a stretch of imagination the 2nd half of the book was really a letdown.Posted on Amazon LucidityVerified A very strong start to the series In an attempt to put it briefly, “Ahriman: The Spirit of Destruction” is an excellent, hard-hitting read that has not only left me impressed, but also left me with an author name to keep an eye on, in anticipation of future releases.This is the type of read that is perfect for any kind of thriller fans out there who love a story that has a strong militaristic & political conspiracy theme, with a fast-paced vivid writing style to match that expresses each scene in an immersive and captivating manner. What I admire most about this read is that it is genuinely hard to predict as each chapter transitions into the next. This is far from the kind of read that has a protagonist that goes through each obstacle in an almost superman-like manner. There’s some genuinely dire and complex plot twists thrown in that often had me truly questioning how on earth Petra was going to be able to through them, this translates to the book having a kind of vibe that will leave many readers on the edge of their seats and ultimately make it hard to put the book down – as was the case with me.In summary, I think this is a great start to the series because it has set up a very strong foundation with plenty of options and possibilities of what is next to come – I look forward to seeing how the author plans to keep the momentum up with the next addition. Highly recommended.Posted on Amazon John HollandVerified An enjoyable read, it was an unusual twist on ... An enjoyable read, it was an unusual twist on a common theme but it became obvious who was who, one of the more difficult parts was separating the two names beginning with "K" but l look forward to the authors next book ,with the characters of this.Posted on Amazon Michiel De PooterVerified Absolute page-turner Once I started reading this book, I couldn't stop until I finished it. Whereas most thrillers are typically one-sided and all about the "good guy" (or girl), Ms Puja Guha tells the riveting story in "Ahriman: The Spirit of Destruction" from the perspective of the down-to-earth hero (Petra) as well as from the perspective of the villain (the Ahriman) and you quickly begin to question whether the latter truly is villainous. Granted, he is an assassin, but what would you do if you were in his place? I loved the different locations that the author takes us to, the cultural lessons in the book, and how through a series of flashbacks we learn how Petra and the Ahriman are connected to one another. This book is a fantastic read and a perfect present for the upcoming holidays!
