I have listened to many audiobooks as an avid reader who gets less and less time to enjoy listening and telling stories. This is the first book in a trilogy on Shiva, the simple man whose karma recast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods. The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ‘When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.’ Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?

They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha–a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived.

On Varma, Amish said: 'Suparn is one of the finest young writer-directors in modern India, having helmed the critically acclaimed and hugely successful 'Family Man 2'. He is among the best living Indian directors. Amish Tripathi, the author of the celebrated trilogy, said: 'One couldn't have asked for a better team than this to take my books into the audio-visual world. 'The scale of vision and the ambition of our show visually and emotionally is a huge task, but we want to bring to audiences a vision that has never been seen before on screens,' he said.

The showrunner promises to set a precedent with the ambitious show.
