About the author:
Author is a Maxillofacial Prosthodontist (just another fancy name for a dentist) and 'Who Burned the Moon?' is his first attempt to shift to other side of the paper. He prefers the smell of a book to that of grass and decided to write a novel to spite a few people in his life who were mean to him and named all the villains after them (OK that last bit may not be true).
Blurb:
'Who Burned the Moon?' by Rahul Vishnoi is a fun-filled fantasy thriller with supernatural elements and a superhero. Yep, India's first doctor superhero
This novel has a superhero, but it's not about him. It's about his best friend-Rehan Saxena. He couldn't even pass class XII, but his mother wants him to become a "dactar". Thanks to a duplicate marksheet, he's sent packing to Lala Purabnath's Medical College
Here Rehan befriends Namak, who happens to be a superhero in the making. Namak doesn't wear a back-hanging dupatta like Superman, but he does have this kickass-looking burning moon between his tits and he can fly, too (occasionally though). So are you thinking it's pretty cool to have a superhero as your BFF, right?
Wrong!
Namak is an heir to a superpower that Lala Purabnath has been seeking for decades. As Lala discovers his identity, Rehan finds his life stirring into an epic mess that involves gilchis, flesh-eating apes and sex-crazed professors. Dragged through tunnels; thrown down the hostel; forced to participate in a ferocious blood game called Moontrack, Rehan has to pay the price of being friends with a guy whose superhero cherry hasn't popped fully yet.
Can Rehan survive beyond the first week of MBBS-I YR?
'Who Burned the Moon?' moves at a breakneck pace of a thriller. It won't let you breathe easy unless you finish it. Rahul Vishnoi has dusted all the twisted corners of his neurons to bring out a book that will not only enthrall you with its lovely characters and bullet-like pace, but will also make you want to go back to the college.

My verdict:
“Who Burned the Moon” is based on a fantasy world, depicting turn of events in the first Academic Session of a Medical College, in an imaginary place near Nanital, called Dimakiya.
This novel combines two most opposite elements of writing - comedy and suspense. This book is wonderful mixture
of suspense, comedy and mystery.
I completely enjoyed the thrill, the sarcasm, the humor, the suspense in the story.
Since this story is revolving in a medical college, it's full of college time fun. Language is lucid, writing style is good. Narration is also good, but need more development. Conversations among the characters are hilarious. Medical students can easily relate them with this story. This story is not like other stories, it has its unique category. Much recommended for fantasy story lover and much much much recommended for 'Medical students'.
