⚡Book Review⚡
Book:- Code Name : Operation ZEHER
Author:- Vikramaditya Singh
Code Name: Operation ZEHER is an unapologetically high-octane geopolitical thriller that places India at the epicentre of a nightmare scenario—one that feels chillingly plausible in today’s security landscape.
The novel blends military strategy, espionage, and political decision-making into a narrative designed to unsettle, provoke, and relentlessly entertain.
The story opens with devastating force: New Delhi is erased by a nuclear strike. This is not a slow burn; Singh wastes no time in plunging the reader into chaos.
The antagonist, Ghazi Shera, is portrayed as a calculating and ideologically driven mastermind, operating from the shadows with a plan that is both technically sophisticated and psychologically terror-inducing.
Operation Takht-i-Taus is less a single strike than a statement—signalling that conventional warfare has been replaced by asymmetrical terror.
The introduction of Operation Vajraprahaar, India’s EMP-based counterstrike, is one of the book’s most compelling segments. Singh demonstrates a solid grasp of contemporary military doctrine, particularly the cascading effects of electronic warfare.
The depiction of air dominance, disabled defence grids, and international reaction adds a convincing geopolitical layer that fans of Tom Clancy or Mark Greaney will immediately appreciate.
However, the novel’s most chilling concept arrives with Operation Diwali: a dispersed network of miniaturised nuclear devices hidden across India. This idea elevates the narrative from a conventional war thriller to an existential one.
The final act, set in Gilgit-Baltistan, delivers exactly what the genre promises: covert insertion, ticking clocks, satellite warfare, and moral brinkmanship.
Recommended for readers who enjoy:-
⚡High-stakes military and espionage thrillers.
⚡Nuclear war and geopolitical fiction.
⚡Stories driven by strategy, covert operations, and global consequences.
While some action sequences stretch plausibility. They rarely break immersion. Singh's prose is direct and cinematic rather than lyrical prioritising momentum over introspection - a choice that suits the material well.
Operation ZEHER is a bold, fast-paced and politically charged thriller that firmly Indian strategic fiction on a global stage. It is not subtle, not does it aim to be. Instead, it delivers relentless tension, credible military concepts, and a scenario that lingers uncomfortably after the final page.
An intense and timely thriller that reads like a warning disguised as entertainment - Operation ZEHER will keep you turning pages, even as it makes you uneasy about how close fiction may be to reality.
Must read♥️♥️
