About this ebook
An ancient weapon threatens the heart of India.
A bomb explodes in the center of London and a fragment of an ancient Hindu sculpture is stolen from the ARKANE Headquarters by a secret organization bent on mass murder. If the sculpture is put together again, it will reveal the key to the Brahmastra, a weapon with the power of a nuclear explosion.
As those they love are threatened, ARKANE agents Morgan Sierra and Jake Timber must search for the pieces of the relic before it can be activated at the Kumbh Mela, the greatest pilgrimage on earth.
In a fast-paced adventure from the slums of Mumbai to the temples of Kolkata, the Taj Mahal in Agra to the killing fields of Rwanda, Morgan and Jake must find the pieces of the sculpture before it's too late.
Destroyer of Worlds is Book 8 in the ARKANE action adventure thriller series, but can be read as a stand-alone story.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Once in a while, this series deviates from the traditional Judeo-Christian world. The last time it happened was with Day of the Vikings, where we learnt a little bit about Norse mythology. That was a short book, though, one of the “interludes” which featured only of the ARKANE agents.
This one is the first “fully fledged episode” to do so. And it’s really good. I learnt a LOT about India and plenty about Hindu mythology that I never knew before.
That’s a common theme across the ARKANE books, I think. Although much of it is fictionalised, it’s still very well researched and there’s plenty of truth within its pages. I particularly like the fact that the author always explains her research in the afterword, so you know how much of what you’ve just read is real, and how much is not.
I also like the fact that every episode in this series can be read as a standalone, and/or a person could pick it up in the middle, really enjoy that book, and then pick up and read the rest from book one.
It’s a great series, and if you enjoy Indiana Jones and Lara Croft-style relic-hunting, you should definitely pick it up.
