BOOK REVIEW - “CODE RED BY SHANTANU DHAR”
Although, I am
not the one who enjoy reading horror or thriller when it comes to reading. However, the cover page of the book was so
intriguing that it kept me going.
Ardhendu Bose,
the vampire, is now a hired mercenary working for the CIA. Damon Broadus, the
African-American CIA agent, leads a covert war against vampires, using Ardhendu
as a front. The MI6 and CIA have joined hands to wipe out vampires in a
top-secret mission called CODE RED. The best scientists of the MI6 have taken
over the research of the late Dr. Amitava Bose and they discover that vampires
give off an invisible glow, which can be seen only by using heat-seeking
satellite imaging technology. Through this, they discover that the vampires of
the world are congregating in a hitherto unexplored, part of the Amazon
rainforest.
CODE RED of The
Red Trilogy is a horror-cum-psychological thriller that takes place across the
UK, the US and the Amazon rainforest. An international thriller, CODE RED is a
fast-paced story that raises several thought-provoking questions. ‘Code Red’ is
an action packed fast paced thriller…
This book centers on an assembly of Vampires from all over in the Amazon
rainforest as Ardhendu combats time, betrayal and power games.
The climax was
quite interesting with twists and turns as they unfold. For that you need to
read this book.
Now my Positive viewpoints:
The positives of
the story are the characters easily identifiable. People tend to skip some
words and move on reading fast (even I do that sometimes) but I'm sure that
this book is going to hook them to read word to word just like I did.
The novel takes
a closer look at the factual nature of the human kinds as Ardhendu battles to
comprehend which side to remain on. On one side, are the avaricious feeble
humans abolishing ‘Mother Nature’ to fulfill the hungriness of
commercialization or the voracious Vampires who sought make us the target.
The book circles
about his innermost demons as he races to meet what he actually set out to do.
A fearsome, stimulating, challenging, interesting, and provocative fiction of
quests clouding contours between vampires and humans is simply mind blowing.
Please Note: The
Company RED: The first book in The Red Trilogy, is a dark and sinister
unfolding of hunts, blurring lines between vampires and humans, that wreak
havoc in the life of Ardhendu Bose, a fatherless, middle-class Bengali boy in
search of an extraordinary existence.The author has been successful enough to
connect with the readers, I loved it, and I am sure that the target audience
will love this book too.
Some suggestive points:
At some places the story becomes static, although the narration of the story is wonderful. The too much detailing in the action and some gore stuff could have been avoided but it might appeal to readers who love this genre.
Final
words:
Overall if
asked I would say this is a good book, perfect accompaniment to anyone interesting
in reading thriller cum horror on weekend pastime. Overall I would say...this
is a good job done by Author (Shantanu Dhar) … I would give 4 stars to this
book.
