ABOUT THE AUTHOR :
BOOK REVIEW :
“What defines a hero? Is it their powers, their intentions, or the choices they make when faced with their darkest moments?”
If these questions intrigue you, “Heroic Deceit“ by Salim Hansa is a story you wouldn’t want to miss. This gripping short novel explores the journey of Ali, a corporate employee turned healer, who unexpectedly finds himself at the crossroads of faith, fame, and inner turmoil.
Ali’s transformation begins at a meditation and yoga retreat, a setting that’s not just unconventional for him as a devout Muslim but also a catalyst for his extraordinary powers. As the narrative unfolds, you’re drawn into Ali’s struggles to balance his newfound abilities with his religious beliefs. The story captures the tension between spirituality and ambition, weaving an intricate tale of self-discovery that keeps you hooked.
That said, like any debut work, Heroic Deceit has its share of shortcomings. A critical examination reveals a few loose threads in the storyline—some plot points could have been tied together more cohesively. Additionally, the writing style, particularly the use of punctuation like periods and commas, could use a bit more finesse. However, these are minor hiccups and forgivable considering a new author.
However, the strength of the book lies in its ability to deliver a complete, immersive vibe, which is a rare feat for short stories dealing with supernatural themes. Salim Hansa successfully blends elements of spirituality and heroism, offering readers both thought-provoking moments and a touch of the extraordinary.
If you’re a fan of introspective stories that challenge conventional notions of heroism while exploring the human psyche, Heroic Deceit deserves a spot on your reading list.
