Blurb:
“Even death is afraid of the White Mask…”
1700 BCE, Harappa – The devta of Harappa has fallen…tortured and condemned to the dungeons of the dead. His murdered wife’s pious blood falls on the sands of the metropolis, sealing the black fate of Harappa…forever.
2017, Banaras – A master assassin bites into cyanide, but not before pronouncing the arrival of an unstoppable, dark force. A maha-taantric offers a chilling sacrifice.
325 AD, Bithynian City (modern-day Turkey) – Unable to foresee the monster he was untethering, an extraordinary monarch commissions a terrifying world-vision spanning millennia.
1700 BCE, East of Harappa – A mystical fish-man proclaims the onset of Pralay - the extinction of mankind. The Blood River rises to avenge her divine sons.
What happens to the devta of Harappa? Is Vidyut truly the prophesied saviour? Who are the veiled overlords behind the sinister World Order? What was the macabre blueprint of the mysterious emperor at Bithynian City? Turn the pages to unravel one of the world’s greatest conspiracies and the haunting story of a lost, ancient civilization.

My Verdict:
'Pralay: The Great deluge' is the sequel of Vineet Bajpai's first fiction novel 'Harappa: Curse of the blood river' is a historical fiction novel. When i finished 'Harappa' , i was really amazed by the plot, storytelling, narration, language, characters. It seems to be all real. Now when i started the very sequel of this novel again i felt the same. Vineet Bajpai has crafted the storylines so well. The cover page is similar to the first part as well as design also. The New World Order, the good and the evil, the devta and the rakshasa – each concept has been brought up pretty well in the book.
Many intense emotions like anger, avenging, hatred, lust, greed etc can make even a devta to loose his lifetime glory.
All the characters have been described well enough.the language is simple to understand. Plot keeps the reader hooked to the book till the end. The story gives insight and information about various ancient civilization, which explains that the writer has well researched about the plot.
The story is written beautifully and it was a surprise as in how Matsya Avatar of Lord Vishnu, The Famous Ark of Manu and Pralay was connected to this story and the Harappan civilisation. And at the end there is a surprise for the readers, which says one more Book in this series is about to continue the story 'Kashi - Secret of Black Temple'.
