Getting a content isn't a big task but putting them across together to stitch a perfect story is where the story stands apart. I felt there were too many characters and references but if you delve yourself deep into the story, you would find a perfect connect.
What according to me makes a story a real interesting one is to start it with a bang and retain it till the end which is the case in this novel as it begins with few leaders across the world losing their lives mysteriously despite being under huge round of security. While there were many assumptions to these incidents, a shadow group called Minerva has been behind these occurrences. Why were they doing this? What was their ultimate motto?
While this was happening in one end, there was another highly secretive group called IG4 which vowed to crack the mystery of the deaths but they themselves gets into deep trouble.
There was a super intelligent Indian Research Scholar who gets hired by a relatively new company which agreed to pay double that of what he was promised from SpaceX,Google etc., Why was he been paid so much?
Probably the first time ever in Ashwin Sanghi's book, the book had lot of pictorial references which has made this an interesting read.
The story starts with a high profile liberal Prime Minister suffering a multiple organ failure under mysterious circumstances. As the plot goes on you understand that there is an entity at work which is keen on starting a global war against the Islamist hardliners and plotting murders of liberal leaders across the world.
The Main Potragonist (Vijay) who is a IIT professor and just completed his PHD gets a job in a shady organization called Mellissan labs which is suspected behind the murders. Vijay , though not willingly , tries to uncover the secrets inside Mellissan and establish a link with the murders. The secrets that get revealed and how murders are actually executed becomes the premise of the story.
Interesting !!! Right ... Actually not. The problem as I mentioned earlier that there are so many characters and concepts introduced that it becomes really tiring to keep a track of them. Also introduction of new concepts of Buddhism..Hinduism chapter after chapter doesn't really help. The conversation tend to be more of a QA session which is very difficult to digest. The climax too looks tedious ( I literally browsed through pages for the heck of finishing) as Ashwin tries to bring a logical end to the different characters he had introduced.
All in all .... KEEPERS OF THE KALACHAKRA ... is definitely not a novel 'for keeps' and I would suggest you give it a pass.
The story starts with a series of deaths around the globe of eminent personalities. What perplexed everyone was that there was nothing that explained those deaths. A well explained concept of Yamaj there. Many isolated characters with both strong and weak links, historical and current, come together to figure out the what was happening at the Milesian labs.
Characters like Brahmananda and Mikhailov are interesting and the concepts of particle and energy fit well with many situations otherwise very difficult to explain. The unusual detours to Ramayana were a simple turn off as they had little relevance in the story.
The events description, no doubt, has been the typically Ashwin Sanghi way, interesting and snippet type that keeps the reader engrossed throughout. If the reader can connect the parts herself, this is a 2 hour read else one can lost in events and connections.
All in all, an interesting read, if you are bored with those usual romantic, fiction or crime books and want a mix of reality and tantra (read positive) transfusion, this is a book to grab.

Reader Tip : few initial chapters you may feel a bit lost as the book moves quite a bit between different character and their history which at that time seem unrelated to each other and/or the plot. It may make you feel uninterested or sligtly bored sometimes but please continue reading as it all very brilliantly comes together and the end will blow you away!!
