About The Book
One is a brave soldier, the other a deadly terrorist. A camera will decide which man survives.
The Major is a seasoned field agent, and neutralizing a target is routine for him. But everything about Operation Turquoise, from the target to the weapon, is disturbingly unconventional.
The Poet has a way with words—and warfare. His voice echoes in thousands of homes worldwide, yet few have ever seen him. Endowed with a sharp mind and evil intent, the Poet has orchestrated many spectacular terror attacks in Asia and Africa.
Ridden with risks, Operation Turquoise will bring the two men head to head—and only one will survive.
My Thoughts
I am a thriller junkie when it comes to movies and TV shows. I love those plots where the hero is saving the world by killing terrorists. One of my favourite all-time guilty pleasures is ‘White House Down”.
However, when it comes to thriller books, I have my reservations due to the lack of visual effect (obviously it is different in books from tv & movies where everything depends on the author’s narrative style that helps the readers to create the images in their minds while reading).
Also, usually plots like these depend more on the action rather than the storyline, hence they become very predictable.
Operation Turquoise overcomes both issues with ease. The writing is to the point, crisp, and able to stimulate my “Neocortex and thalamus” to visualize.
Now the best part of the book is that there is a solid story, which is so rare nowadays in most books, shows and movies. At one point, I thought the story is predictable; however, the author had something different in mind.
As it is a very short read, we don’t get to know much about any of the characters, however, they are so well introduced that I am eager to know more about them.
I hope author Rani Ramakrishnan writes a prequel for this book because I am just dying to know more about “Poet”.
Overall, this book is a blast start to a brilliant series (at least I hope there will be a series, or else I am disappointed). I would definitely like to read more books by Rani Ramakrishnan.
