Fellow cc.com posters

Over the last three years I have been working on a Thriller type book, The Undercurrent. Finally, it has been released!

It is available at the Publisher’s website LuluLink Text in print and as an eBook. It is also available on Amazon.
There are direct links on the author’s website at Link Text (It is better priced at Lulu as there are significant retail mark ups at websites like Amazon).

On Amazon, you can search T.A. Sankar in Books.

------------------------------------------------------

I have drawn heavily on my experience as an Infectious Diseases and AIDS physician in writing this book.

Here is the Back Cover Summary -

It is 1988 as Dr. Paul Karan prepares to travel from Trinidad to Washington, DC, for a job interview. After he boards the plane, Paul senses something is amiss but settles in for the long flight. When a man seated next to him clutches his chest, Paul tends to him as the plane reroutes to Caracas. But what Paul does not know is that fate has just intervened and transformed his life forever.

When the plane lands, uniformed officers wrongly arrest Paul for smuggling drugs. Although he denies involvement, Paul is interrogated and thrown into prison. After he is slowly tortured, Paul is offered a deal to treat AIDS patients by day and supply the drugs that contribute to their decline by night. As he ascends to become a cartel leader, his double life becomes unbearable. Can he and his family escape alive or will his past return to haunt him?

The Undercurrent is the thrilling tale of a doctor’s quest to reject his new and unwanted destiny as a drug smuggler.

Please spread the word to your friends and colleagues who may be interested. Thanks

Thank you Norm.

It is a work of fiction -

written, in part, to depict the dark days of AIDS.

Paul Karan is a complex, multi faceted protagonist.

What ever reason you get it for, please get it. I think you will like it

Got a Kindle edition out?

BTW i'm looking forward to a cricket or bowling themed thriller...

In reply to dax

Congrats. Excellent.

In reply to dax

Does not take long to see the protagonist and author share much in common...

Great reading so far. I am at Chapter 15 .... where Paul is getting some 'attention'.....

No spoilers. Get your own copy

Point is right, movie time, in fact your authorship is more like a script (heavy use of character dialogue in quotes)...

Wonderful stuff dax, and congratulations again...

In reply to nitro

Thanks.

In reply to dax


Unfortunately , I do not have any Contacts in Hollywood or elsewhere .
I am wondering if a " Go Fund Me ";
could help .

BTW , perhaps you could see if You can contact Spike Lee , perhaps you can get in touch with People via Google , and or Facebook .

In reply to POINT

Any ideas are welcome, Point

But I think word has to get out on the book and readers have to get to a critical mass before any such thing is considered.

I am sure I can count on you on spreading the word around. Thanks again.

In reply to methodic

Thanks. Please do.

Thanks for all the support of my mates at cc.com

Some of you have contacted me outside this forum.

Your support is much appreciated.

For those of you who have read the book, please spread the word around if you like it.

I am also OK with you posting your thoughts/comments/criticisms.

In reply to dax

Just bought your book!!!

In reply to dax

Will purchase later.

On a related note, I started writing a ghost story...endeavour is a lot harder than I thought...mainly finding the time to get into flow is the hard part.

Would love to chat with you via email on your experience with your first novel, how you went about getting published etc...

I know you posted some of these experiences here already but I only read bits and pieces.

In reply to Dukes

Great!

Thanks for your support.

Hope you like it

In reply to DAVE400

Thanks.

Writing has been one of my more difficult endeavors.

Persistence and determination is a huge part as many of us still work full time.

Good luck.

I think there is an email address on the author's website. You can give me a shout.
