Please read the Volcanic and awesome novel, which is first in Vimal series which is penned by Sir Surender Mohan Pathak.The all events of this novel are impressive and natural and presented in Indian environment. This is just the magic work from Sir Surender Mohan Pathak. The first scene of this novel is so natural and seems realistic. The flow of story is interesting and keeps you bound with it till ends.
The plot is small but very interestingly designed and presented by Sir SMP. The writing skill of Pathak sir is so natural you can’t say that this novel is totally imaginary. The Characters like Lady Shanta Gokuldas, Basco, and Martha are interesting and you can feel that they all are from our society. You can feel such characters in our real world. These characters are famous in the world of SMPian(A word which is used for the fan of SMP).
The exceptional and key thing of this novel is its climax. When you will complete the novel and think that it’s the end of novel but the climax of this novel excites you to know what will happen with Vimal in future.
When you will read this novel you cannot think that it’s just a story of legend of pulp fiction history Vimal. This novel will give you the artistic feeling. The novel was first time published in 1971. After 2 month, next book released of this series. But both books did not found success and Sir SMP stop writing this series. After 5 long years, third book released of this series and this became a huge success. Readers and publication house asked Sir SMP to write Vimal series more. Now, “Vimal Series” is a brand name in Hindi pulp fiction industry. Sources are saying that 42nd novel of this series is coming from “Harper Collins”. This initiative from multinational publication house will wake up again Hindi pulp fiction.
Sir SMP said in his much known “Lekhakiya(Authors desk)” that some events and story of this novel is taken from James Headly Chase novel. He agreed with this word many time. Even, I know this fact however I read this novel and enjoyed it very much. I am not a good reader of English novel but I can’t ignore such novel, if I get a chance to read them in Hindi. I will prefer more to those novels which was translated by Sir Surender Mohan Pathak.
This novel which consist 150 pages is filled with Thriller, adventure and mystery. The readers will surely enjoy this novel and recommend to other ones.
