Vibrant Story LineThe Archers Revenge is a a dramatic story line which is quite close to that of a few inspirational Indian films. The protagonist, Aryan, has a strong motive to take revenge on one of the leading political leaders of the country.As he prepares ardently for the D-day, he is taken aback to discover a new ally, Divya, who has been training for the same mission as his. The rest of the plot is their inter-mutual efforts to charge their common target at every possible event. The end of the story, however, unlike Indian films, has taken an interesting twist that would leave the readers light and easy.
Abridged!
The narration is kept precise which is rather unusual, especially for this genre of a crime fiction that usually involves vivid descriptions. It seemed like the nutshell scenes from the lengthy version of the story were extracted to frame this book.
However, the concision did not bring down the focus of reading at any instant in the book. Of course, a quick read. An avid reader will need just a few hours.
Definitely not an Emotional Pit Stop!
The lead characters deal with their mission and just only their mission. There is no room for deep emotions or a love story in the plot. Towards the end of the book, there is a subtle mention of a liking but again, the focus of the story does not drift in any way anywhere. If you were longing for a tale without cinematic love stories in it, this is the perfect book for you. But if you cannot do without romance, you will be disappointed.
May be a little more gripping?Perhaps, that's what was missing! The reader would indeed be kept on a guessing mode throughout, of the next event of the plot though it is certainly not one of the page-turners. Undoubtedly, the story line is vibrant, but I doubt if the narration is.
Promising!
The Archers Revenge is a fine wrap for a debutant author. As a reader, I definitely look forward to another engaging plot from the author in the near future.
I am curious to hear from the author if there was a specific reason to have omitted the apostrophe at the end of 'archers' in the title?

But Aryan is not totally unarmed - he has been training to get an Olympic medal in Archery. Can one man with bows and arrows bring a powerful Minister, protected by the Police, down to his knees? Can archery win against guns and might?
Set in contemporary India but written for International readers, this tale is bound to change your perspectives about a number of things in life: Underdogs are not always underdogs. Friends are not always friends. Destiny doesn't always favor a select few.
About the Author
Destination Infinity is the online identity of Rajesh Kollu, who is basically a 'Professional' Blogger living in Chennai, India. He has an opinion on everything and is an expert on nothing! He was forced to become an author because people kept pestering him with the lethal question, 'What do you do?'. When he answers, 'I am a professional blogger', people usually reply with sentences like, 'What is a professional blogger? I have never heard of this? Do you know anyone who is *also* a professional blogger? Will anyone in their senses become a professional blogger? You quit your *plum* sales career for this? Do you earn anything out of your work?', etc. Now, since (at least) one of his books has been (self) published, he can safely say, 'I am an author, I write book(s)'. With that one sentence, he aims to eliminate any further questions, especially the 'Do you earn anything out of your work?'. Because, it's quite normal to be an author and not be earning anything at all!! :D
