Badal- The Revenge

The land is known as the graveyard of empires. Its inhabitants, warlike Pashtuns, strictly follow their ancient sacred code of honor, Pashtunwali. The most important clause of that code is Badal, the revenge. A Pashtun must avenge murder of his family no matter what is the cost. Otherwise, he is a pariah in his own community. 

The year is 1985. Baz is just ten year old when his entire family is killed. Despite his young age, he manages to kill all the murderers save one. He flees his village for bordering Afghanistan. Under patronage of his father's old friend, Ustad Karim Khan, he lives there and participates in war. His mentor is killed by Arab mujahidin. He takes revenge and moves to Pakistan as Kabul falls to Taliban. It is the post nine-eleven world when a corrupt police officer snatches his money and sends him to jail. He tracks that officer to get his money back, and finds that the officer is involved with a group of Arabs who are planning to attack USA on 4th of July. He helps the US and Pakistani intelligence agencies in exposing the plot and learns that the man who is selected for the mission is the lone surviving killer of his family. The terrorist plot has been already put into motion. He must foil it, and above all he must take badal.

The Diary of a Young Girl

Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank's remarkable diary has since become a world classic—a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the "Secret Annex" of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and amusing, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.

Respond to 1 star review

How do you tackle a malicious review? What do you do if someone buys your book and leaves a 1 star review without actually reading it? This is exactly what happened to me. Take a look at the review on this page. Most of the points are wrong. It appears as if the reviewer has not even read the book and decided to makes some false statements about the book.

The only way to tackle is that you do a rebuttal. Read the rebuttal below. Although most authors and book promotion experts would suggest that you do not respond to reviews at any costs but in this case, I was compelled do so. I addressed all the points made by the reviewer.

By the way, there are no shortages of nice people too who are willing to download, read and write a review for you.
