In the year 2030 AD, a black hole comes hurtling towards the Earth. Rajaraja Cholan, a former ruler of an ancient, powerful empire in India, learned of a prophecy that foretold the apocalypse. The prophecy declared that a black hole would come hurtling toward Earth at nearly the speed of light and that there was no hope for mankind to survive the event. Springing into action, the king declared that his son Rajendra Cholan would take the throne of the Chola Dynasty. He then enlisted the help of hundreds of the kingdom’s most trusted people and undertook a 1000-year exile. During their exile, the king and his trusted subjects worked on building a spaceship beneath the Indian Ocean that could be the answer to the dynasty’s survival of the fast-approaching black hole. With one millennium to prepare, the king and his men felt they must have a fighting chance at succeeding in their mission. Its the year 2030. The American president and other world leaders are meeting in the White House to rally their forces and the greatest minds in modern science searching for answers. Rajaraja, along with his most trusted advisor and guru Agasthiyar, makes their appearance in the war room to inform the contemporary world leaders of the provisions that have been created. As humanity prepares to flee Earth, a traitor attempts to kill Rajaraja. Unable to trust his friends, and with humanity’s existence hanging in the balance, Rajaraja must stop the traitor before they can kill him and doom humanity to the black hole. Excellent blend of Tamil history and culture, Sci-fi, and end-of-the-world scenarios. Rajaraja Cholan is the mighty ruler of the Chola Empire who ruled between 985 AD and 1014 AD. During this medieval period, arts, literature, music, dance and language flourished. He maintained extensive trade ties with China, Egypt, Rome and many south asian countries. This book is a fiction story revolving around the life of Rajaraja Cholan and his effort to save the human race from Apocalypse. Set in the year 2030 AD, the fantasy story weaves the past and the future together with a good mix of sci-fi technologies. Refreshing new take on Medieval history
