Sci-fi thriller movies is the one about which the world is very much acquainted. Sci-fi thriller in books is a rare entity. Not many writers have attempted to write one. Author Sandeep Sharma in his debut novel "Algorithm of Future" has tried his luck with a sci-fi thriller for the readers. So does it have the thrills and shrills to keep the readers engaged? Let's find out.
First look at the title and the cover and a lot of readers will confuse it for a mathematics book. But that's not the case. It's a thriller based on mathematics. It's a typical cover image containing numbers and equations. The blurb talks a about a person and his particular set of skills which will help him in save the country. It's a good blurb and can be related to the title and theme of the book.
The story revolves around a mathematician Rakesh whose life is maths. He develops a unique formula to predict the future actions of the people and ridiculed badly. He is dejected by it and one fine day he gets a call from a magician called Aakash Singh Rathore who proves to be his nemesis. Rahul along with his family lives in a constant fear as Officer Abhay of RAW and Rahul his long lost friend join forces with him in order to neutralize Rathore's threat. So what are Rathore's motives? Will Rakesh be able to stop him? What will he gain and lose out of it? That's what the story is all about.
It's a thriller story and has thrills of it's own with quite a few surprises present in it from time to time. The story is more convincing in the latter part. The edginess of Rathore and the ever fumbling & confusing Rakesh are in stark contrast which sets the tone for the story. Few surprises and twists are eye catchy in the story.
The downside of the book is editing. The grammar has gone for a toss in the book which is a huge turn off while reading the story. The algorithm which is the central theme of the book doesn't has any particular explanation to it as to what it is and how it's used to predict the actions of the people. The first half is a dull affair and a lot of things happen out of the blue in the story.
The book overall had a lot of potential in it but fell flat on expectations courtesy poor grammar and a lot of unexplained parts in it. It has a touch of thrill in it but the sci fi element goes missing. The book needs fine tuning in order to make it an interesting prospect for the readers.
