I was provided a Media Copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Hundred years have passed, and world's geopolitical system has changed. India, the superpower of the 22nd century, is responsible for maintaining world peace. Advanced Technologies and Artificial Intelligence have made people’s lives easy. To take a step further, physicist Neil Rolston discovers a way to telepathy to change the world until a mysterious illness that was buried centuries ago resurfaces and wreaks havoc as it spreads among all mankind. Humanity's collapse is almost inevitable unless Neil Rolston comes to rescue. Will he succeed and find the hidden secrets of the ancient Himalayas? Or, will it all fall apart? Only a miracle can save the human species.

Sameer has explored an interesting concept of being connected through our consciousness. The book traces the journey of Neil as he battles his personal as well as professional life to find this way of telepathy. Sameer has blended science with mythology to pen this story and has set the story in the future where he imagines a changed world order. The setting of the book has been nicely done and as the story progresses, Sameer presents his vision for the future in terms of travel, education, culture and communications. Another aspect that Sameer touches upon is the idea of human emotions and how they impact us, both individually as well as a community and society. The idea to show how our collective consciousness can manifest the way it does in the book is wonderfully written. The climax is quite interesting and the message that the author wanted to project does come across nicely.

Coming to the characters in the book, I liked the way Neil’s character has been portrayed in the book, right from scientific curiosity to the personal setbacks and finally the climax, the hero’s journey has been portrayed to the letter. Dylan’s character as an antithesis of Neil was almost as if Sameer wanted to personify matter and antimatter, however their collaboration was of a positive nature, rather than that of annihilation.

Overall, the book is an interesting read for the fans of science fiction, and the book scores a 4/5 for me.
