BLURB

Seven years have passed since Peshwa Bajirao Bhat annihilated the Nizam’s armies at Fort Mandu. The two forces have been engaged in attacks and skirmishes ever since. Acting on the advice of his right-hand man, the mysterious Anaamik Dabhade, the Peshwa now sets about laying a trap to truly ensnare the Mughals, and break their might.

The Empire, of course, has methods of its own. And Nizam Ul Mulk is itching for an opportunity to exact revenge of the formidable Bajirao. With assassins, saboteurs and criminals infiltrating the Maratha lands, the Mughal Empire scores as many victories in the night as the Peshwa does during the day.

Meanwhile, in the far reaches of the country, set ablaze by the never-ending conflict between these major powers, a Sikh warlord, a Rajput king and a Bundela princess find themselves increasingly tangled up in the endgame that will determine the very course of history. It is a battle of wits and skill, and the greatest deceiver of them all will prevail.

COVER PAGE
The cover page of the book The Peshwa War of The Deceivers is very attractive. It is an eye catchy cover page very beautifully designed in the shades of red, white, golden and black. I really liked it a lot.

REVIEW

 The wait got over and the author, Ram Sivasankaran came back with the second book of The Peshwa series. I have read the first part and I was eagerly waiting for the part two and when it finally came, I was not able to stop myself from getting the book. I was very well aware of the happenings in the first book but still to set a mood for reading a historical fiction and also be well aware of the characters I reread the first book again before reading this amazing The Peshwa War Of The Deceivers.

The Peshwa War of Deceivers is an amazing historical fiction book. It starts seven years after Peshwa Bajirao Bhat annihilated the Nizam’s. The book is set in the era of the Mughal Empire.It is written in a simple and a clear language. The words were flowing like a river in the book and the author has a marvellous hold on the English language. He has used quite a number of Hindi, Marathi and Sanskrit words also and I am glad that he has given the meanings of the words in the glossary. It is a very well written book with so many vividly described events and while reading the book, I was able to visualise a lot of events which made my reading very interesting and engaging. I loved author's writing style.

There are various different characters in the book and they all are very well developed. I loved the character of Bajirao Bhat. Other characters such as Kashibai, Mastani, Bundela princess etc. are also very interesting and the personalities like Nizam and Scindia were very well introduced in the book. And,each character has a spark which made me stick to the book all the more.

The book has a very intriguing plot which is crafted in a very structured way. It has elements of love, politics, war and power. It is an engrossing read with a very tight plot, gripping narration and is fast paced with lots of twists and turns.

Overall, it was a treat for me as I love to read historical fiction. The Peshwa War of The Deceivers is an amazingly penned down book with an interesting story line. I would highly recommend this book to all the historical fiction lovers.
