There are fictions and there are genres. Some fictions follow certain standard routes of the established genres, while on rare occasions some fictions create their own genres. That new genres might become established later or may wither away. Only future could decide their fate. But an author who treads on a new path to create a new genre is a pioneer. The spirit always deserves a salute.
Such is the new novel by Aniruddha Bose “If …”. It treads along a comparatively new path. What is it? A sci-fi? A whodunit mystery thriller? Or a combination of both?
The core idea is not new. Energy crisis and finding a new source of energy is a burning issue to the humankind. Fossil fuel will inevitably finish soon, it is just a matter of time. What next? Nuclear fission energy? Harnessing fusion energy? Wind energy? Tidal energy? Solar energy? Geothermal energy? Biofuel energy? These are only a few of the next possible sources of energy. And it is an established fact that big powers will go to any extent to own the newer sources of energy.
In this background Aniruddha has woven the story of his novel. A completely new form of energy is almost in the hand of an Indian businessman with a strong scientific background and the source lies in the ancient Indian scripts. As usual, all the international players are in the arena with their sinister motives and men and women are murdered right and left. The rest of the story I cannot divulge here for obvious reasons.
Even if this is only the ‘whodunit’ part, the real twist of the story lies in the realm of sci-fi. And there lies the novelty of ‘If …’. It is an amalgamation of the two.
The book presents some fantastic ideas from the forgotten ancient Indian scriptures, along with cutting edge scientific facts about black holes, desk top super-conductors, SETI (Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence) and the like.
 You may need a little scientific inclination to enjoy the story, which incidentally, does not lack a strong human story as well, but that should not discourage the regular readers. You need not be a PhD in Science to read this novel. After all, in these days of information explosion and the internet, no one is totally ignorant about something.
I consider myself fortunate enough to suggest some ideas to Aniruddha Bose, who by his sheer brilliance and hard work has come out with this extra-ordinary novel.
I sincerely hope this new genre novel gets its due acceptance from the readers.

Review of Aniruddha Bose’s If…

Aniruddha Bose has repeatedly shown his exemplary skill in handling multitude of characters and multiple murders in so such a wide variety of ways, spanning all over the globe in his thrillers, that we lose count; be it Pursuit, Conundrum or Eternal Mayhem. If… is no exception. And if you thought If… was all about murders you are mistaken. You will be taken on a journey through our ancient scriptures on scientific facts coaxing you to question who invented what! A new source of energy, black hole, super conductors... all lined with the unmistakable Aniruddha Bose trait of underlined philosophy. It is doubtful if the reader can pin this novel to any particular genre... one shouldn’t venture thus. In all an enticing gripping novel and most intriguing for the scientifically inclined.

The latest Thriller If by Aniruddha Bose
 

The latest Thriller “If” by Dr Aniruddha Bose is another successful novel written by an eminent Plastic surgeon who emerged as one of the most prominent writers of Kolkata though starting at a late age. The story here revolves round the central theme of a break-through in the technology of sustainable energy generation for the benefit of mankind. A bright IIT graduate-cum-successful industrialist gets the cue of this future-generation technology from some ancient Indian scripts which he chanced upon in some Buddhist temple during his visit to Tibet. And this discovery sets off a hectic under-cover activity for gain, amongst the international players, which lead to a series of murders in a short span of time.

The author has handled the plot very well and the chain of events keeps the readers glued to the book till its end. The narration is crisp, easy flowing and is a high point of the thriller.
