Agyat: The Ghost Meridian

Description

AGYAT: The Ghost Meridian

A military intelligence thriller of rare sweep and conviction — from a naval veteran who writes from the inside.

WHEN A BOMB DESTROYS A DELHI MARKET, THE PATTERN IS TOO PERFECT TO BE ACCIDENT.

RAW analyst Ranvijay Rathore has spent years watching India’s adversaries from the shadows — a ghost in a system designed to create ghosts. The son of a naval officer killed in a classified ISI operation, he has learned to carry his grief quietly, like a weapon kept loaded but holstered.

Then the blast happens. And the signature is unmistakable.

What follows is a pursuit across the subcontinent — from the intelligence corridors of New Delhi and the border crossings of Nepal, through the night markets of Bangkok and the labyrinth of Mumbai’s underworld, to the high passes of the Himalayas where a nuclear device is being assembled in secret.

The operation is called DRAGON SHROUD. It is the culmination of a thirty-year plan — a joint Pakistan-China nexus that has planted sleeper agents, corrupted supply chains, flooded border economies with counterfeit currency, and now stands poised to trigger a crisis India’s conventional forces cannot answer.

Against them: one analyst. One team of operatives no government will acknowledge. One window of seventy-two hours before the world changes.

AGYAT (meaning “unknown” in Sanskrit) is a novel about the wars India fights without declaration — the invisible front where the real battles for national survival are won or lost. It draws on the author’s naval service, his understanding of intelligence tradecraft, and his conviction that India’s greatest defenders are precisely those whose names never appear in any record.

For readers of Frederick Forsyth’s The Day of the Jackal, Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October, Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp series, and Ravi Subramanian’s banking thrillers — AGYAT delivers a propulsive, authentic, and distinctly Indian intelligence thriller.
