In the second book of the Mastaan series- 1857: The Sword of Mastaan, author Vineet Bajpai narrates the haunting tale of a cursed ancient city and of a ruthless foreign marauder.
Condemned to the crypts of history- a dark chapter, etched in red ink by white opium hands, it is the tale of a war immortal, long buried in the false coffins of a so-called rebellion.
As the magnificent Bandookbaaz risks everything in favor of life, the metropolis of Delhi emerges as the epicentre of an imperial genocide. A nation erupts in violent revolution – even as one extraordinary man stands between the hate of millions and the love of one.
The devil himself infiltrates the realm of men – guised in the unholy trinity of Theo the Reaper, Nicholson the God and Hodson the Executioner.
Mastaan, Chhagan, Zafar, Manglo, D’Cruze, Shahbaaz, the Dervish, Fay and Ghalib – all are mere pawns in the savage hands of fate.
Bajpai is a first-generation entrepreneur who started his company aged 22 years from a small shed. Today, his company is among the largest marketing and advertising groups in the subcontinent. He has written seven books before 1857 – The Sword of Mastaan.
