ABOUT THE AUTHOR :
Hi, Ritwik Bandyopadhyay a new writer working on different concepts revolving around strange creatures, adventures and thrillers. My ideas are highly original and I try to leave a deep mark in terms of social issues. Current Works:
-The Jerry Series: A zoologist going around, looking to find strange creatures. I have attempted to put an emphasis on finding and understanding them as opposed to using them - in a bid to speak about human beings' attack on other species on our shared planet.
-The Bhushan Nagpal Diaries: A thriller through the lens of an amateur troubled sleuth. Currently in progress and points to deeper issues in the society that we live in.
My goal is to make non-readers read, write books that feel relatable and create a little space on your shelf.
BOOK REVIEW :
With Jerry and the King of Tibet, Ritwik Bandyopadhyay firmly establishes that the Jerry series is not just continuing—it’s evolving. This second installment takes the scientific curiosity and grounded mystery of Jerry and the Birdcave and expands it into a more confident, layered, and visually engaging narrative.
At the heart of the story are the familiar and compelling duo, Dr. Jairam Chatterjee and Alok Roy, whose quest this time leads them to the icy terrains of Tibet in search of the legendary Yeti. What initially feels like a classic cryptid hunt soon unfolds into something far more intriguing: a historical conspiracy woven seamlessly into local lore. The author’s greatest strength lies here—using myth not as fantasy, but as a doorway into speculative science fiction rooted in regional history.
Compared to the first book, the improvement in storytelling is evident. The character development is more nuanced, the pacing sharper, and the narrative confidence unmistakable. Dr. Jairam’s analytical mind and Alok’s grounded presence balance each other beautifully, making their journey as much about intellectual discovery as it is about emotional depth.
One standout feature of this installment is the use of illustrations. They don’t just complement the story; they elevate it, adding texture and immersion, making the reading experience richer and more memorable. It’s a thoughtful touch that shows the author’s growing command over both content and presentation.
What makes Jerry and the King of Tibet truly special is its commitment to “truly Indian science fiction.” For readers who enjoyed Book One, this sequel is a rewarding step forward. And for those discovering the series now, this is Indian science fiction done right: intelligent, culturally grounded, and deeply imaginative.
Recommended for readers who love cryptids, conspiracies, and science fiction with a strong local soul.
