All of us, yes all of us, have a patriot in us;
maybe somewhere hidden in our sub-conscious, covered under the daily chaos or
dumped under the layers of bitterness in the system. But most of us tend to
accept the situations thrown at us. Even if we initiate a change, often we are
unable to execute it till the end, owing to varies reasons, such as lack of
support, knowledge, expertise or strategies.
The Four Patriots is a saga of four such individuals,
who overcome their personal griefs and surface to make a positive change in the
society, in the country. The story revolves
around four youth who at some point of time has been affected by the system in
some or the other way. Those events stirs a strong desire in them to change the
faulty systems and corruption that is creeping up in every corner of nation. They
begin their journey in their own different ways, only to come together and
fight the battle as a team.
The
Four Patriots, a political thriller, envelops multiple twists and turns in addition
to offering a good dose of emotions and romance. The characterization and fluid
narration is quite engaging.
While
reading the book, I was reminded of a scene from the Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Baby’,
when his boss, referring to the protagonist highlights that he is such a
patriot who do not wants to die for the country, but wants to live and finish
off the enemies of the nation.
If
storytelling is an art, Sumit has certainly mastered it and that too in his
debut novel. Perhaps this is something he has penned down from heart and not
just head.
If you
love your country and have a dream of seeing it free of all corruptions and
faults, you will not miss this book.
I received
this book from Writers Melon against an honest and unbiased review.
