MEET RAY RAO, THE AUTHOR OF SWORDPLAY |swordplaybook

 Ray Rao grew up in India, and is intimately familiar with the complexity of its multi-faceted culture, rich history, and many traditions. He also recognizes the many cross-currents in Indian society that can elicit both the best and worst in humanity. That knowledge was in full evidence in his gripping debut thriller, Bloodbath, which showed how India’s ethnic and religious fault-lines could be exploited and weaponized to bring the world to the brink of nuclear Armageddon. His follow-up novel, Swordplay, featuring the ongoing exploits of his twin protagonists, Alexis and Jason Wolff, relies yet again on his first-hand experience of Indian society, his background as a physician, and his intimate knowledge of the martial arts, to paint an utterly realistic picture of evil at its worst and most pervasive. novels by Indian Author

Swordplay

Two seemingly unrelated acts of horrific terror, now so mind-numbingly “routine” in modern-day India… A bomb explodes on a packed bus in the hinterlands of North India, killing over fifty passengers. A rich industrialist’s daughter is brutally raped and kidnapped for ransom while backpacking in the foothills of the Himalayas. Indian suspense novel Those two events trigger an unstoppable cascade of events that sucks Jason Wolff, elite ex-commando, and his twin, Alexis, menkyo kaiden—ninja supreme—into the sinister world of a shadowy Islamic terror group called the Sword of the Prophet.

The group’s motto, “Terror for terror’s sake”, encompasses a pattern of urban terrorism that involves bombing, murder, kidnapping for ransom, child abduction, and illegal trafficking of organs for transplantation. All with a single purpose: To fund the “Sword of God”. The Islamic bomb. 

Jason and Alexis will need all their incredible combat skills just to stay alive, let alone stop the inexorable march to an endgame that will relegate the fall of the Twin Towers to a minor footnote in history.
