 Having read and reviewed the previous installment of this high intense drama series, I didn't waste anytime being updated with the latest one. Cometh the Hour, the sixth part of the Clifton Chronicles, leaves me speechless, but that's nothing new. It is Archer, what else can you expect?

 The book begins with the jury wanting to know the contents of Alex Fisher's letter that he wrote before he died. When the same are revealed, it changes the course of the case and Emma wins hands down. On the other hand, Giles successfully gets Karin out of Germany and reunites her with her father. He is finally enjoying his time with her when another twist in the story appears. Sebastian falls in love with an Indian girl, Priya, but her parents are too orthodox to allow her to marry someone outside her caste. Not wanting to give up, Sebastian travels all the way to Mumbai to win his girl. Meanwhile, Harry and Emma make a trip to Sweden as Anatoly Babakov is announced as the Noble Prize winner for literature. Mrs. Babakov eagerly awaits her husband's arrival but fate has other plans for them. Sebastian visits Jessica's school in the States for an art exhibition where he purchases all her paintings but he has to make sure that neither she nor Samantha finds out who the buyer is. But is he successful? Karin makes a trip to visit her father(is he really?) which, sadly, ends with tragic consequences.

 Archer has done it again! How he does it, is beyond my grasp, but a hell of a read!(excuse my expression). The story never seems too lengthy or dull as Archer constantly feeds us with exciting twists and turns. There a lot of events that happen in this particular book, some characters lost and some gained, but I'd rather not reveal them. The next and last book of the series would be coming out sometime in November 2016, as it says at the end of the book. Well, I can't wait to get my hands on it! An extraordinary series topped with the brilliant storytelling skills that only Archer possesses. A bestseller indeed!

Rating: 4/5 Title:  Paths of Glory Author: Jeffrey Archer Genre: Fiction, Suspense, Thriller Pages: 400 Publisher: Pan Books IS BN-13:  9780330511667 Paths of Glory is an interpretation of the life of George Mallory. This book claims that Mallory realized his lifelong dream of conquering Mount Everest 29 years before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay achieved their feat. The topic has always remained a controversy since 1924 when Mallory and his fellow Andrew Irvine attempted to reach the summit of Mt. Everest but never returned alive. They were last seen by Noel Odell (another mountaineer climbing behind them) when they were around 1000 meters below the peak of the mountain before disappearing into an extreme storm heading their way. Whether they actually reached the top or not, continues to remain a mystery till date. It was not until 1999, when Irvine’s and Mallory’s frozen bodies were found that the debate fired up again. Efforts are still u

But the summary had done its job. It had heightened my expectations and I was waiting to pore into the book and get lost in an adventurous and romantic tale. The Immortals of Meluha is the story of Shiva, a leader of the Guna tribe in Kailash Mansarovar in the Himalayas. When they are all invited to the land of Meluha, the centre of civilization, Shiva and his people are surprised at the lavish but precept livelihood led by the Meluhans.
