Críticas:

The story surprised me with something intriguing each time and it goes on till the end page. A very good book and I recommend you all to read it once because sometimes all you need is to have an eye of a person through which you can see a different world, a different Mahabharata. Watch out for the second part of this series. --Team WordBite Oct 20, 2014

The book is an average read. In the same mould as Ashwin Sanghi's The Krishna Key, which I think is still the best in its genre. The basic story idea is good as is the plot. The author begins well, but midway loses control of the plot and the ending is a damp squib. But what salvages the book is the fact that the English is at least good and the author has taken care to see that the characters have some depth. I would still rate Navin's "The Tenth Unknown" a better book when compared to the Mahabharata secret. A little more care in crafting the plot and improving the climax would have helped make it better. On the whole, a not so bad read after all, especially if you are travelling or need to while away your time. But be warned, this book is strictly a one time read only... --Santosh Mohan Rao K Dec 10, 2013

Just completed reading the novel. Definitely should appreciate the work by Doyle, really a great debut novel. But if you forget its a debut novel and write a review, then i think i can give it a 3 star. Reason, is i felt the pace getting slow down many a times because of lot of breakages while starting a conversation and after ending a conversation; even sometimes, conversation seemed sloppy; while solving the clues, the people seemed solving easily rather than with hard thinking, atleast the conversation in the novel seemed like that; i can give example, but i dont want to reveal a part of story, so keeping in general words. Even the very end didnt seem very excited. I felt many a times to compare the story with Dan Brown's novels, even the end tempted me to compare with Da Vinci Code, if compared, definitely Dan Brown is way way way ahead. But overall, i am giving it a four star as it is a debut novel and wonderful research has been done and clues and puzzles were keep coming till very end. Good luck Doyle, will definitely read your second book --Avinash K R Dec 23, 2013

Reseña del editor:

The Mahabharata Secret is a suspense thriller which leads Vijay, the protagonist, to a secret in the Mahabharata which was buried by Ashoka over 2300 years ago.When the nuclear scientist Vikram Singh is murdered, his nephew Vijay receives four cryptic emails, which lay out a trail of adventure before him. This trail leads to a secret buried in the Mahabharata over 2300 years ago by the great king Ashoka. Ashoka had uncovered this lost text of the Mahabharata and deemed it too dangerous for humanity. He had therefore hidden it and formed The Nine, a group of great minds entrusted with the protection of the terrible secret. Each of the Nine had been given one piece of the puzzle and thus, none of them could complete it by themselves. However, one of the Nine had given in to evil, and had murdered each of the Nine one by one. Vikram Singh was a part of this Nine. On his death, he passes on his secret to his nephew and implores him to find and hide the secret before terrorists do so. In Afghanistan, the Buddha statues were bombed by the Taliban. In the wreckage, they discover something which tells them that the legends of a great weapon in the Mahabharata were indeed true. Thus, unfolds a race to the secret which could destroy the entire world if it falls into the wrong hands. Who will uncover the secret first, Vijay and his trusted friends or the terrorists? This spine chilling adventure combines history, mythology, suspense and science in the present day world.
