Bharat is in chaos. While the kingdoms fight each other, Alexander's forces gather for the assault, their leader lured by tales of supernatural weapons and the elixir of immortality. Only one man can save the subcontinent from domination by the Greeks: the young Chandragupta Maurya, trained under the aegis of the 'dark Brahmin', Chanakya. When an ancient seal is found, sharing the secrets of the brahmastra, the redoubtable weapon of the Mahabharat, it is up to Rudra, young commander of the Mauryan Nava Yuva Sena and lifelong friend and confidante of Chandragupta, to decode it. Along with his fellow commandos and with the able guidance of his guru, Rudra embarks on a quest that takes him from the snowy peaks of the Himalayas to the seas of Rameshwaram, hunting the clues that will lead him to the brahmastra. On the way, he meets the Chiranjivis, ancient beings tasked with divine duties and learns the secrets behind his own birth and his mysterious powers. But Rudra must be careful, for not all enemies were dispersed with the death of the mighty Alexander. Treachery lurks in the home and when Rudra is framed for the attempted murder of his sovereign, he must pull every trick at his disposal to reveal the enemy and save his kingdom from plunging, once more, into bloodshed and chaos. A historical, mythological adventure story, The Indus Challenge is sure to appeal to readers interested in the storied past of India and the legends woven into its soil.

Across the book many real historical happenings have been etched along with fictional characters as the plot goes on. It provides a thorough insight to the reader about the history during the Chandragupta Maurya era. The book also talks about the mystery of Guru Chanakaya’s death. So the quest for the secrets takes the hero from the Northern India to deep South till Kanyakumari. His quest is waylaid by treachery, betrayal and how he overcomes everything to find the secrets, is the story line.
This book is actually a sequel and the second in the series from the author Dr. Durgadoss. The sequel starts with a felicitation function for a cyber scientist at The Taj Palace in Mumbai in which he is shot by terrorist and drifts into a state of coma. While in coma his mind drifts back to last nine janams. The first book The Shackles of the Warrior is his first book happens during 3000BC Mahabaratha era and the second book is The Indus Challenge.
These stories are about the Karmic journey of his soul in each birth. The book has a nice cover design depicting the Macedonians and Indians at a river front. The book is available in paperback. Would recommend this for those who are interested in mythological stories. (
