The Coming of Kalki

Thought Warriors, Book 1

By: Poulomi Sanyal

Narrated by: David Swanson

From Poulomi Sanyal, the engineer-turned-author of Colour Me Confounded, comes a genre-bending, gripping science fiction thriller, replete with original scientific concepts and steeped in mythology.

In modern-day USA, an ordinary girl, Zoya Carter, is on her way to university when a bizarre incident changes her life forever.

Barely escaping a terrorist bombing by reading a stranger’s thoughts, Zoya learns that she is a mutant born to an ancient prophecy. There are others with supernatural abilities like herself being hunted by the Aifra, who seek to subjugate mankind.

Zoya must join the mutants in a war of the ages to stop the Aifra. But the mutants are few in number and the odds are against them. All they have are cryptic clues left behind by the ancient Egyptians, Mayans, and Indians and the prehistoric ruins of the fabled lands of Faiyum and Dwarka.

A mysterious prophecy is uttered - a riddle they must decipher. It speaks of the birth of a golden age and a deliverer of the ages - the Kalki. But where is Kalki? Racing against time, the mutants must undertake the seat-gripping adventure of using science to understand the secrets of the ancients and use this knowledge to defeat the Aifra. Or else humanity will perish.

Unique adventure into the world of science and mythology

This book has a very unique blend of science and mythology. The author did an amazing job writing this complex story. The story starts off with an explosion that leaves Zoya shocked and trying to figure out if she really heard a stranger’s thought.

Narration was excellent and brought the story to life.

The story is written in multiple POV. I had to pay close attention to the characters to understand what was going on. This is not a story you can multitask while listening! It is definitely worth your full attention.

This author is very talented. The story held my attention from beginning to conclusion. I’m looking forward to book 2.
