Book: Charioteer Creatures
in Mind

Sometimes playing with someone’s mind can
have disastrous consequences.
Charioteer Creatures in Mind by Abhishek Mishra is the story
of Vikram Saha, an agent with the Indian Intelligence. He comes across a
research centre that is doing some research on human subjects. As a side effect
of these tests, the subjects acquire a mental illness and evidence shows that
these people were tested with telepathy and hypnosis. He decides to investigate
and comes across something really strange.
Charioteer Creatures in Mind is a book that has a very
confusing storyline. Throughout the book, the plot has no solid standing and as
a reader, it is very difficult to make sense of what is happening. The
situations are very difficult to make out and the plotlines are extremely
blurry. The storyline is set in New Delhi, Noida and Kashmir, but unless
explicitly stated, making sense of the location is impossible. The storyline of
the book bears a heavy resemblance to a Hollywood movie and at times, it seems
that one is adapted from the other. Another thing that aggravates this issue in
the story is the extremely poor editing. Not one sentence in the book has a
proper grammatical structure and at places, even the names of the characters
are mixed up. The climax of the book, like the whole story, is confusing.
Coming to the characters, the only character
I could properly understand was Vikram Saha, and that also to the part that he
was attached to his Grandmother, who was killed in an attack when he was young.
None of the other characters, be it Firoz, Akira or the professor, none of them
had a proper introduction which could establish them in the story and the
reason for their existence.
Overall, the book scores a 1.19/5 from me,
and I would advise a thorough proofreading and editing of the book.
