An Indian Epic

[Jayaprakash Satyamurthy]

Well, my granny told me this story when I was a child, but author Ashok Banker is now giving the Ramayana the full fantasy-epic treatment. More details here: http://www.epicindia.com/


I haven't yet read these books, but they seem worth a try. Let me know if you happen to read them.

Sounds interesting. I will probably check it out at some point.

Here are two reviews I found of the first volume, a rather negative one from SFSite: [url="http://www.sfsite.com/12b/pa166.htm"][url]http://www.sfsite.com/12b/pa166.htm[/url][/url]
but this one from Alien Online answers some of the charges and presents a positive view: [url="http://www.thealienonline.net/ao_060.asp?baa=1&tid=2&scid=15&iid=1573"][url]http://www.thealienonline.net/ao_060.asp?baa=1&tid=2&scid=15&iid=1573[/url][/url]

It doesn't seem too much of my sort of thing, then, but I suspect there are folks around here who may enjoy it.

Hmm...they look pretty cool. I'll check those out sometime.

Looks pretty good....
If he does it well, it could be reight up there with Lord of the Rings in a hundred years.

It is an old story but people outside India and the Asian community need to know about Rama.

Thanks for posting the links, I found them interesting. This book is advertised in the fantasy book club monthly mag and I hadnt heard of this author before. Looks interesting, something slightly different
