Blurb:
The year is 2020.
While New Delhi deliberates on commensurate retaliation to Beijing’s actions, a series of events across the globe pushes the world to the brink of war.
A high-profile assassination in Israel stirs up emotions in the Middle East, and the Arab armies form an alliance united by the rallying calls of jihad: to conquer the holy land, once again.
The public execution of a CIA agent in North Korea brings the gargantuan navies of US and China to a terrifying stalemate in the Sea of Japan, while the world watches in horror as hopes for human survival and global markets dwindle into oblivion.
Amidst all this, Lama, the influential leader of Tibet, finds himself in a political pickle, and sways towards Beijing, the mightier side, in the event of an Indo-China conflict. So does Pakistan, China’s all weather friend.
With the possibility of war on both fronts, as the struggle for dominance on Tibet brings the dragon to India’s doorstep, the tiger prepares for yet another showdown with the dragon.
Six decades after the Indo-China war of 1962, will the tiger be able to turn the tide and douse the dragon’s fire?
Who shall fire the first shot and who is actually calling the shots? Only time will tell.
Witness a tale untold and immerse yourself in a world of moves and countermoves, where there’s no distinction between black and white. Where every piece has a role to play but their loyalties are not a function of their colour. Where the only thing that truly matters is who gets to call CHECKMATE.

My verdict:
The title of the book is apt and just. The cover page is impressive. Checkmate by Varun Tejwani, This is a squeal of the novel "The last chai", which is a superb political thriller. The plot is in 2020. There were numerous characters including the nations of India and China. Checkmate is a thriller which deals not only with a mere situation of thrill but also describes a vivid pictorial view of our current political scenario. The story
introduces a situation of war between the country of India and China including US, Israel, Tibet and various countries.
The narration of the book is not only gripping but the fast pace describing the events made the book a hooking read.
Author has kept his readers awaiting till the last page of the book to reach the conclusion, and still I’m waiting for a gripping 3rd part of this series. A wonderful read.
