Has anyone read this book?
<b>Op Kartikeya - Round Five in South Asia</b>
What an exciting book! After a long time a military thriller from an Indian writer and with an Indian perspective...Gen Paddy gave us some good moments in his "Writing on the Wall" but Airavat Singh is FANTASTIC!
The book opens with a Mirage 2000/LCA one-on-one.
The lead character is a flyer from the famous No. 1 Tigers squadron.
Indian leaders are assisted by the newly-formed Defence Staff Headquarters.
Airpower is secretly assembled near the Paki border and a massive assault in waves of 200 and 150 jets tears apart the Paki landscape!
The writing style is good and the story flows beautifully.
