Hand of God Jaswinder Singh

"A helicopter crashes in the Waziri hills of Pakistan five days before India's Independence Day. Two men are killed in the crash, one of them an American. Jack Barnes is assigned by the CIA to investigate the incident. He seeks help from Vinayak Prabhakar, a senior Indian intelligence officer. Prabhakar has his own agenda to fulfill - to capture or kill the Al Masri brothers - the planners of 26/11. He agrees to help the American, as long as he can get his hands on Junaid Al Masri, chief trainer of Al Qaeda."Hand of God is a story with a high degree of plausibility that can arise only from personal experiences and detailed research by the author. The book addresses the strategic as well as tactical aspects of covert operations that dominate today's military scenario in a taut narrative. At the same time, it handles complex global political equations with a great deal of maturity. The book's accurate depiction of the geographical, lingual, technological and cultural contexts also makes it a highly relatable account to the reader. Hand of God does ample justice to a complex subject requiring accuracy and reader interest to go hand in hand.
