QUOTING FROM THE TIMES OF INDIA - JANUARY 2013 :- 

Deepak Menon, a banker with a difference,left his job as a senior officer in a commercial bank in India, a year ago, to write stories to delight and gladden the hearts of adults and children alike. He narrates stories of great adventure and thrilling rescues undertaken by a little Pixie and his amazing OctoDoll, with help from myriad fantasy creatures of the enchanted
Booga Dooga land.UNQUOTE
The author has filled his first published books "Tales of the Booga Dooga Land" - The Wormus and Tales of the Booga Doog Land - Pickwick's Plan with brilliant wordplay, designed to bring chuckles to the readers of all ages, while they read through this sparkling "family together" children's book, where the author has created an entirely original and fascinating new wonderland - the Booga Dooga Land.
The author does not forget to integrate little lessons in the events which are written about in the book, designed to promote what he considers to be the most important aspect of life, “Family Values” .
These are wonderful books where he has introduced a new meaning to the word “Plan”, straight from the Booga Dooga Land.
The illustrations have been painted by Julie Sneeden of South Africa, a wonderful visualizer and internationally renowned artist whose sparkling illustrations have lighted up the book immeasurably. These books deserve a place of pride on every adult and child's bookshelf.

Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

Story Behind The Book

For long has the mystery remained - will mankind ever be able to undertake interstellar travel without violating the Physical Constraints like the light velocity constraints, time dilation, infinite force required. Skymerge recognises that at some time in Mankind's journey of evolution, he will have to leave the Earth - the dangers of Global Warming is evident and soon will be out of control. Skymerge explores and achieves the status of a very plausible way by which mankind will travel to the stars and reach there within his life time, whilst narrating a great tale of adventure with well researched scientific thought as well as a touch of romance and interaction with alien species as well as explores the very genomes of life on Earth and the Galaxy.

This futuristic space odyssey intertwined with plausible principles of science and the laws of Physics will give an intelligent mind value for money and time invested. I have seen this novel evolve over many years into a master piece. The novel is full of thrilling adventures and also has a touch of Romance. Since it avoids fantasy, I think that it is a story that leads one to reflect upon how in some decades mankind may be able to undertake interstellar travel to other habitable planets – and reach them within their lifetimes without violating any Einstienian Physical Constraints. I am a Masters in Physics, and this book has shown me some new dimensions. A must read for all the people, who love Science and Adventure and feel that mankind may have to some day leave the Globally Heated Earth for survival of human race. Five sparkling stars for Skymerge!</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
