Book Review: You Will Die by Shiv Kumar

‘You Will Die’ by Shiv Kumar is a highly engrossing thriller novel with many sub genres under its skin. The story, plotline, subplots, climax, and pace – everything is solid and substantial. The story will make you feel that you are reading something of value, of interesting entertainment…and believing that nothing is superficial. If you need to measure the quality of a thriller by its layers, this novel of Shiv Kumar will shock you with its results. It’s laced with such a profound and terrific storyline.


The novel offers splendid back stories and sweet bitter sweeps of agents, spies, politicians, officers, and informants. Many might consider the novel a high-adrenaline espionage drama in the guise of a political thriller. And some reckon it just a crime thriller. Readers that are always clutched by crime thrillers will love pealing its layers leisurely, without a hesitation, without losing interest. That’s for sure! The ride is going to be insightful, tremendous, brilliant and sure witty at places.

On a broader theme, the novel’s story ricochets saving the life of Indian PM, Sunil Mishra from a terror group sponsored by a neighboring country. To save the PM are involved many good souls, one such is security advisor ‘Abhay Singh’. In addition to that, the novel doesn’t lag behind shedding light on the darker side of agents that work for the country. The story features four: Raghav, Jacob, Irfan, and Nazneen. They worked under Abhay Singh in a deadly mission codenamed Operation Buddha. What happens when an agent succeeds or when someone defects – is agreeably covered in the novel?

A terrorist named Abrahim with Indian roots and good history threatens to kill the prime minister. They use code words to test the patience and intelligence of PM’s savers. However, the story isn’t that simple and straight as it looked. Revenge runs deep! Who is going to head where and how? Will Abhay Singh put enough efforts to catch the culprits? How did Raghav, his ex agent, get exposed? What is that Mohanpur and Guruji and M21 virus connection? How many people are true nationalist or faking a semblance of it? The novel devastatingly portrays the black and white life of its characters.

You cannot catch one story and nail it as your final interpretation. The novel is a genuine medley of many actions and adventures happening with no respite. Yet all blends seamlessly. Overall the narration is lovingly fast-paced, with meticulously crafted storyline, making it a perfect and striking and memorable read.

Poem Summary: Where The Mind Is Without Fear by Rabindranath Tagore

Poem by Rabindranath Tagore: Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit Where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Poem Summary: Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Stanza 1: I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; Summary: The poet narrates the poem through the eyes of a traveler who seems to have come back from a remote and far-away land, referring to Egypt. The traveler r
