The Pillars of Destiny (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The Pillars of Destiny is an action packed slickly crafted thriller with a stunning climax. It is a gripping sequel to In the Shadows of Destiny where Durga emerges as prime minister of India, following the biggest terror strike the world has ever seen. Widespread skepticism of Durgas ascension seems justified as India reels under blows from Chinas Peoples Liberation Army and Pakistans Inter-Services Intelligence. The Indian aircraft carrier Vikramaditya is crippled by a highly innovative strike by Major Dingbang even as Chinese and Pakistan instigated insurgent attacks overwhelm India. The top Indian military leadership is killed by a cruise missile attack and the narrow Siliguri Corridor is almost severed by a PLA attack. Durga takes tough decisions to fan Uyghur resistance in Xinjiang, orders launch of a armor strike against terror bases in Pakistan, gets a giant Chinese oil tanker captured by Somali pirates and authorizes a Special Forces drop to cut the Western Highway joining Tibet and Xinjiang. As the conflict escalates a high tech Indian air attack against a tunnel in the perma frost zone cripples the Lhasa-Golmud high altitude railway line. In sync with instigating widespread internal sabotage and communal riots in India, also abetted by Pakistan, China launches an offensive to cut off north east India through Bhutan.

Autor

Bob Butalia is a former Indian Army tank corps brigadier with wide experience of both conventional conflict and anti-insurgent operations. He participated in the Battle of Basantar, the last major tank battle fought in the Indian subcontinent. He is currently an advisor to a well-known US multinational company in India. Married with two children, Bob has a wife with an unerring eye for detail, a son in the army whose spouse is a journalist, and a journalist daughter married to a banker, so constructive criticism is a constant companion. Bob has been through the mortification and chastening experience of losing an only copy of a draft of a book more than a decade ago and suffering a writer's block thereafter. His weight-loss e-book Zen and the Art of Burning Belly and Butt Fat is a digression from his preferred genre. The feedback from readers of The Assassin's Mace has resulted In the Destiny Trilogy. The Pillars of Destiny is the second book of the Trilogy.
