CALL OF THE STARS

Here is yet another collection of delightful stories that astound us with humour and delight, and nail-biting uncertainty. The opaque and unknown life of soldiers and officers employed in the line of duty on our far frontiers comes alive in these astonishingly crafted tales, inspired by true experiences of the author while in service. Every story in the collection snaps with freshness, mystery, and humour. The author is at his ease, witty, erudite, and on a song in this collection.

***************

A self-confessed jack of all trades, who revels in writing the indefinable short story. The author has been an officer in the armed forces with a long service experience. Writing organic stories and pieces of unvarnished writing remains his signature trademark. The earlier three books by the author have been delightfully read by a legion of admirers of his unique writing style. This is his fourth collection of stories. His writings echo the works of Maupassant and Chekhov, of whom he is admittedly very fond.
