I love the concept behind THE IMMORTALS OF MELUHA by Amish Tripathi. It is book one The Shiva Trilogy, which tells the story of how Shiva became a God, the Destroyer of Evil.

Shiva was a chieftain of a village when they were approached by men who promised them a better life. Tired of fighting every day for the survival of his tribe, Shiva agrees to take his people to the new town. What they discover is a beautiful almost perfect society. Shiva loves this new world, and soon discovers that he is destined for much bigger things. As Shiva helps the men of this new town destroy what he has been lead to believe is evil, he discovers not only love but treachery.

Shiva must learn how to make the right choices because the choices he makes will make a difference in the lives of millions.

Amish has a hit with THE IMMORTALS OF MELUHA. My mother came to visit and picked up the book. When she finished, she went out and purchased the next two in the series. I am glad she did because now I have them to read! THE IMMORTALS OF MELUHA has strong characters, a good storyline, and an ending that will have you reaching for book two,THE SECRET OF THE NAGAS, so make sure you have it close by. Amish has created a thoroughly enjoyable storyline about one of the most important Gods in the Hindu religion, Shiva, The Destroyer of Evil. THE IMMORTALS OF MELUHA is a book you won't want to miss.
