Vivek Oberoi with wife at Secret of Nagas book launch

Hailed by a leading business news magazine as the ‘Paulo Coelho of the East’, Amish, author of the #1 national bestseller, The Immortals of Meluha, has now released his much anticipated book 2 of the Shiva Trilogy – The Secret of the Nagas.

Being launched with a massive initial print run of 100,000, The Secret of the Nagas is one of the rare books that has catapulted into the bestseller lists of Neilson Bookscan, Flipkart and Infibeam, even before it’s publication! This has happened on the basis of pre bookings alone. 80,000 of the first print run of 100,000 copies have already been sold to retailers.

Positively surprised by the immense sales, Westland has ordered a reprint of The Secret of the Nagas even before release.

The Secret of the Nagas follows the massive success of it’s prequel, The Immortals of Meluha (Book 1 of the Shiva Trilogy). Released in March, 2010, The Immortals of Meluha continues to dominate the national bestseller lists and is currently #1 on the Neilson Bookscan, which represents 40% of the total book publishing industry’s sales. Currently, The Immortals of Meluha is at a print run of 175,000. Therefore, counting the reprint quantity of The Secret of the Nagas, the Shiva Trilogy is at a print run of over 300,000 within just a year and five months of launch.
