My life turned upside down when Uncle Fred showed up at our door one bright spring day. "Heard you needed someone to take care of Mike for a couple of weeks?" He told my parents. It was only supposed to be for two weeks, but by the end of the first week I wanted to spend the rest of the summer with Uncle Fred. Sure, he lured me there on a pretext, but he got more than he expected when Julie became part of my life. Our mothers would have really been upset to hear that we'd spent two days alone in the wilds of war torn Normandy back in 1946; without a chaperone! And then there was Bozo the cat. He was always under foot when I was thinking about the cottage; I began to wonder if I was being manipulated by that large gray cat with the golden eyes. By the end of the summer I would learn much more about Uncle Fred and Camilla, his wife from the past; both of them.

Religion does not breed terrorism, hatred does. From Madhav Thapar the author of the much loved A Friend Like Karna comes his second novel The Times We Live In. This is a world of terror and treachery, but also patriotism and hope. Spanning the seven decades and more since India and Pakistan gained Independence; it cleverly juxtaposes references to true events with a tale of different generations of two families separated by the bloodiest partition ever. At the centre of the narrative is the hunt for the dreaded terrorist, code named Cobra. As the faceless enemy spreads his tentacles of terror, the Indian RAW is in relentless pursuit, and the body count rises. The action shifts rapidly from scene to scene across three continents and multiple timelines. Yet, this is not a thriller alone. In his trademark style, the author brings forward various aspects of human drama: love, sacrifice and family values, even as he unravels the motivation and machinations of a criminal mind. Suspense till the very end, and twists and turns throughout.
