If you like historical fiction with flashbacks reminiscent of actual events, you will enjoy “The Himalayan Quartet”. The author has a good grip on the past and a novelist’s talent for bringing his characters to life in compelling
scenes.
DON MESSERSCHMIDT Writer and columnist
I always look forward in anticipation to Deepak Rana’s novels. They bring back to life the mystery of the unknown world, and induce that kind of fear that is added excitement to the humdrum of our daily lives. I can’t wait to read this book. Long may he write.

An interesting experiment marrying quasi-historical with fantasy writing and dancing between different eras.
JOHN WELPTON
Specialist in the History of Nepal
The “Himalayan Quartet” comes out as a major work concerning Nepal’s awe-inspiring past, unique royal tradition, mysteries and very diverse socio-cultural fabrics dominated by the Hindu way of life. It sets out the narrative hitherto unknown for decoding the historically important characters and events that shaped Nepal as a country we know today. A supremely rich collection of historical novels. “The Himalayan Quartet” should be widely used for reference by scholars and readers at large alike. Strongly recommended.

Dakini: The Himalayan Quartet is a compilation of four sequels by author Deepak Shumsher Rana. The author with his fast-paced engulfing narration blends his love for adventure and wildlife with magical realism. Dakini has a huge canvas – the fictional plot that begins with life during the Rana regime,with time enters unknown territories, not only in terms of location but also going deep into the human psyche, along with mysticism and philosophy. With his lucid language and vivid storytelling Ran is bound to make a major comeback in contemporary literature.
