Product Information

This bundle contains three novels:

1) The Winds of Hastinapur (Hastinapur, #1)

Ganga, the lady of the river, falls in love with Shantanu, the crown prince of Hastinapur. But theirs is not a happy union. Ganga is tasked with bringing forth eight sons to honour the curse of Sage Vasishtha, and then she must raise her eighth son on Meru.

Satyavati the fisher-girl catches the eye of King Shantanu. Though her path to the throne is smooth, she has to employ some crafty strategies to ensure that her sons will become kings.

(Check out the Winds of Hastinapur Product Page for more info.)

2) The Rise of Hastinapur (Hastinapur, #2)

Amba, Kunti and Gandhari arrive to tell their tales in this powerful sequel to Winds of Hastinapur. Here we see the history of Hastinapur take shape in three separate threads.

Amba, the princess of Kosala, thinks her future is secure when Bhishma allows her to go to her beloved. But fate conspires to drive her deep into the forest, where she must discover herself.

Pritha, the daughter of Kuntibhoja, finds herself embroiled in an adventure that takes her to Mathura. Here the secrets of the great city are revealed to her.

Gandhari, the princess of Gandhara, gives everything in her power to withstand the psychological onslaught of Bhishma. But it may not be enough.

(Check out the Rise of Hastinapur Product Page for more info.)

3) The Queens of Hastinapur (Hastinapur, #3)

In this third installment, Gandhari and Kunti come face to face in the court of Hastinapur. Despite being the wife of the older prince, Gandhari finds that she must be on her guard if her sons are to become future rulers of the Kuru house.

Kunti finds her own world crumble as her husband decrees that they must go to the forest. There she ends up with five sons - not all of them her own, and none of them her husband's. Will these princes ever be accepted as the sons of Pandu?

Three beautiful novels for the price of two!

Product Description

Have you ever wondered about the silences of the Mahabharata?

Not the same old tired retellings of a single incident from a different point of view, but the actual silences. What must Bhishma's childhood have been like in Heaven, in the arms of his mother Ganga? What was Satyavati's inner life like, before Shantanu came to her and offered her his hand?

So many unsung characters in Vyasa's great epic: Amba, Kunti, Gandhari... so many untold tales; so many untouched meadows.

In the Hastinapur books, you will find yourself lost in the stories that Vyasa left unexplored. Join Ganga as she wrestles with her ambition of being a great river Goddess while being mother to young Bhishma; Satyavati as she wonders why she has been placed in Fate's path; Kunti as she wakes one morning on a sun-kissed bed that changes her life; Gandhari as she yearns to steer her kingdom to glory...

And Amba. Amba the scorned princess of Kosala who, after being wronged by Bhishma, has to find herself deep in the woods of Naimisha.

All these women - every single one of them - are Destiny's daughters. Their choices, their struggles, and their deepest wishes shape the path of history. And it leads all the way to Kurukshetra, where the battle to end all battles will be fought. Far, far into the future.

And lurking in the background, pulling strings that are invisible to mere mortals, are the people of Meru. Guarding the Crystal Lake. Driven by desires of their own.

Come - I assure you: you've never seen the Mahabharata like this. 

OFFER: The bestselling Hastinapur Trilogy - now in a beautiful bundle.

Get the first three books of the Hastinapur series - Winds of Hastinapur, Rise of Hastinapur, and Queens of Hastinapur - in one bundled set. Just for today, you can purchase all three of them for the price of two.

The great book of time, it is said, contains only one word: 'now'. All the great rewards of life await people who know the power of 'now'. 'Now' is the only thing that matters; 'now' is all that we have.

The silences of the Mahabharata wish to speak to you. They wish to take you away from the humdrum of daily life, away into the past and into the distance, where kingdoms rise only to fall, and where the Ganga flows unfettered, pristine and youthful.

The silences of the Mahabharata wish to open themselves up to you. Won't you give them a chance?

Spoiler-free Review - The Martian Dialed Up To 11
Format: Kindle
If you loved the Martian in either book or movie form, Project Hail Mary will likely delight you. The main character (who I'll leave nameless to avoid spoilers) is nearly identical to The Martian's lead, Mark Watney. They have similar personalities, the same fundamental mission of surviving in a hostile environment, and both use real-world biology, chemistry, and physics to solve their problems from start to finish. The book provides an early test for whether or not you'll enjoy it: on page five, when our protagonist is being quizzed by an annoyingly paternalistic computer that is demanding to know the cube root of eight, our hero replies with the smart aleck answer: "two times e to the two-i-pi". If you find this interaction amusing, all good; if it's off-putting, turn back now. In fairness, Project Hail Mary shares The Martian's flaws as well. The protagonist's character is a bit better developed - but only slightly. The conflict is entirely man-vs-environment. And though the protagonist is often in situations that might cause one to ponder the essential truths of the human condition, he never does. His personality and behavior as a sarcastic problem-solving scientist / engineer are pitch-perfect but the book rarely goes any deeper. He has an established motivation and a flaw to be overcome - but these are really just superficial grace-notes (see what I did there?). This is not Crime and Punishment. Instead, it's a page-turning action-hero book - where instead of firing shots, the action hero saves the day by doing science really well. Books that celebrate real science are rare, so if that's what you came for, you're going to love what Project Hail Mary delivers. Although largely similar, there are four main ways in which Project Hail Mary differs on the Martian so I'll touch on those now: 1. The stakes are higher - much higher! In The Martian, Mark Watney is already a bit of a super hero - he's an astronaut after all - and all he really needs to do is stay alive. In Project Hail Mary, our hero is much more of an every-man and his job is nothing less than to save the human race. 2. The Martian is told in chronological order. In Project Hail Mary, our hero awakens with a serious case of amnesia and can't even remember his own name. He starts his adventures at essentially the most dull part of his recent life. As time passes he both tackles dramatic new challenges and remembers the wild adventures that brought him here. Andy Weir does a fantastic job of interweaving the past and the present and the result is a very effective narrative framework that lands on a "Wow!" moment at the end of nearly every chapter. 3. Project Hail Mary is a buddy story. In The Martian, Mark Watney is alone in his battle against the elements of Mars for nearly the entire book. By contrast, Project Hail Mary, once it really gets going, is absolutely a tale of buddy-bonding. This surprised and, ultimately, delighted me. It helps give the protagonist a bit more of a human side. And the team problem-solving scenes are, again, pitch-perfect. 4. Project Hail Mary puts the 'fiction' back in Science Fiction. In The Martian, leaving aside the opening wind storm and the closing chapter of wish-fulfillment heroics, we are essentially in a very tightly written NASA simulation. I found this incredibly enjoyable - but one could reasonably ask, where are the big ideas? Where are the bold 'what ifs'? The answer is, they're in Project Hail Mary! The science is still real and omni-present, but the fiction is big, bold, and awesome. If you're main draw for the Martian was the NASA lore and you wished Weir would write an even tighter sequel detailing the Apollo 13 events, you may be a bit disappointed - but everyone else is going to love this change of pace! So that's it in a nutshell: Project Hail Mary is a fantastic next book to read after The Martian. It's a clear spiritual successor but brings new ideas and structure to the game. Enjoy!

Excellent Hard Sci-Fi… Until the Politics Pull You Out
Format: Kindle
I was really excited to dive into Project Hail Mary. As a longtime Isaac Asimov fan, I’ve been craving fresh, modern hard science fiction that actually respects the science. This book delivered — at least for a while. The author injects real science into the story in a way that’s both fun and fantastic. You don’t need to be an engineer to follow it; a solid high-school education is plenty. The concepts stretch your imagination without ever feeling impossible, and for the first chunk of the book I was hooked. I genuinely thought I’d found a new favorite author. Then the jarring interruptions started. Out of nowhere you get yanked out of the immersive sci-fi world by modern political pandering that feels completely unnecessary. A random parenthetical about Columbus “discovering an already inhabited world” when comparing something to the New World. Casual pronoun lectures. Characters selected or described by race and identity in ways that scream “check the boxes.” These moments don’t serve the story — they feel injected. Once you notice the author’s leanings, it becomes hard to unsee. Each time it happens, the fantasy evaporates. It takes several chapters to sink back into the story… only for the next micro-lecture to pull you right back out. Overall, I loved the writing, the hard science, and the imagination. It’s some of the best sci-fi I’ve read in years. I just wish the author had trusted the story instead of sneaking in real-world politics. It’s like eating the best meal of your life… and then finding a hair or two in it. Strongly recommended for the sci-fi, with the above caveat.

Engrossing and Thought-Provoking
Format: Hardcover
This is an absolutely engrossing read in the first half of the book, especially--so much so that I actually canceled a social plan so that I could keep reading. The author shifts effortlessly across scenes and time--the play of past and present is very much part of the book's plot and insight--and I developed a fast curiosity and unsettling investment in understanding our anti-heroine/heroine Natalie. This surprised me, because had a friend not recommended the novel I never would have signed on to spend time in the head of a "tradwife." For me the novel was an imagined and imaginative provocation on American womanhood (and masculinity) in the 21st century, where no options or "performances" seem entirely satisfying or even real. I found it simultaneously disturbing and darkly humorous, especially in its depiction of young women's collegiate lives. However, readers should have some tolerance for caricature throughout. While I howled at the depictions of the miserable lives of aspiring "modern" women in the dorms and figuratively pounded my fists at the hypocrisy of the tradwife, I was also conscious of hyperbole and exaggeration--no, their lives aren't that bad; nor, I would guess, are the "tradwives" as bad as Natalie, who is a profoundly unlikable character. I did find that the novel bogged down in its middle and late-middle chapters--the mystery of what's happening to Natalie remains but the momentum seems to stall out into repetition. I also felt that the ending seemed too rushed and too tidy, given the nuance we see earlier in the novel. It ends with what feels like a reductive endorsement of modern (or post-modern) life for women when, earlier in the novel, we get to contemplate the flaws in ALL of the scripts and performances that women--and the hapless Caleb-- are asked to live by, or choose... Indeed, the characters that I would have loved to hear more from are the two who seemed more grounded and, ultimately, perhaps happier than the others: Natalie's sister and even her mother... The concluding exposition felt rushed, as did the analysis, in other words...Some of the religious scenes seemed tone-deaf to me... I'm not an evangelical, but Natalie's relationship to God strained credulity. **Highly recommend** this to anyone looking for a provocative and engrossing read on women's lives and constraints in the age of social media that engages in a fascinating thought experiment along the way...

An unexpected reading experience!
Format: Hardcover
Very unexpected novel! I went into it without any knowledge or prior information of what it was going to be about. Main character is not a person you would want to be friends. So when calamities happen to her it was hard for me to muster up much sympathy or compassion. It was more of “you had this coming, you deserve every miserable minute”. And boy, there were many! Some harder to believe than others. As I was reading, I first thought- I don’t want to keep this book, it’s not worth saving. But it developed to be definitely the type of story that sticks in your mind, you find yourself revisiting parts and characters and wondering why that happened and why did that person react a certain way. And to me that’s a book worth reading and keeping on my limited bookshelf. So I changed my opinion as I read to the end of the novel. It is certainly a book worthy of a neighborhood book group discussion. I am recommending and sharing my copy to family members and reading friends.

Beneath the perfect surface
Format: Kindle
Yesteryear completely caught me off guard in the best possible way. What begins as a fascinating look into social media influence, curated perfection, and historical living slowly unfolds into something far deeper and far more emotional than I expected. The storytelling was incredibly well done, especially the way the author balanced the polished modern influencer world against the harsh realities of 1800s frontier life. The transitions between timelines and perspectives were seamless, and by the end, every piece fit together in a way that completely redefined the story. What made this especially compelling for me was how layered Natalie’s character felt. Her upbringing, family expectations, faith, public image, and the pressure to maintain perfection all shaped the choices she made throughout the story. Rather than feeling one-dimensional, she felt like someone slowly buckling under the weight of everything she believed she was supposed to be. The emotional impact of this book surprised me. Beneath the historical elements and social media commentary is a story about identity, appearances, family, and the toll that constant performance can take on a person and those around them. This is one of those books where the less you know going in, the better the experience will be. I expected an entertaining premise, but I ended up with a story that lingered long after I finished the final page.
