Nikki gets into another exciting adventure
|
In G.S Dutt's latest Revenge of the noble spirit, Nikki the heroine is back again with another hair raising adventure. The story opens on a quiet scene in a beautiful beach house where Nikki and her best friend Esha are enjoying their holiday. The bond between the two girls is strong and just how strong will soon be tested when Esha mysteriously disappears and Nikki has to go in search of her. As with most Nikki adventures, the start is the high point of the whole show.
The scenes in the kitchen are important. Notice the issues of illegal immigrants raised though only fleetingly. Children and adults in many parts of the world have no country to call their own. It's a serious issue that you must read more about.
It's almost like watching a James Bond film except that the heroine here is no 007 spy but she is no ordinary young person either. Nikki is nothing if not resourceful. Read about the way she follows villainous characters around and you will know what I mean.
The story moves fast and at times a bit too fast. There is no time for the reader or Nikki to draw a breath. At times you wonder if Nikki might need to eat or maybe have a change of clothes but obviously heroines even if they aren't super beings do not seem to need either.
REVENGE OF THE NOBLE SPIRIT by G. S Dutt, Wisdom tree, Rs 145
