Sniper’s Debt is one of the most amazing thriller fictions I’ve ever read. The book is written by Mainak Dhar. The story starts when the protagonist, Aditya, along with his wife, Zoya, and son, Aman, plan a vacation to Paris and their plane gets hijacked. An old retired US soldier tries to resist but he gets shot. Aditya sends messages to a few people to let Indian forces know about the plane. What I feel shocking that even the hijackers wanted the news to be leaked. They land the plane in Afghanistan. Rather than keeping the people on a plane, they separate and take people in slots. When Aditya was being taken by the hijackers to a different place, Aman enters into the story. Aman is all set to help Aditya from the hijackers. Now, I am leaving the next part for the people to read on their own.

Right from the beginning, the book takes me to the world of intriguing images and with the slow progress, it encounters several goosebumps. I am literally in awe of the storytelling whereas the narration has definitely taken the book to another level of excellence. The setting of the plot, different sequels, making of hijacking scenes etc have left a deep impact on my mind. What I love about the book is its easy and simple language which creates no bar in reading. Vocabulary is simple and lucid and I didn’t need a dictionary.

The title of the book is well-thought-out and adds to the curiosity of the readers’ minds. Overall, the book is an amazing read.

Now comes the book cover, which is definitely fascinating and goes with the theme of the book. The title of the book is well-thought-out and adds to the curiosity of the readers’ minds. Overall, the book is an amazing read. I definitely recommend you to grab the book and read it.
