It happens in book series. First few books are good. But later on it looses the plot or becomes monotonous. Or the latter books are always compared with successs and novelty of previous ones.

This is where you should read Aryavarta chronicles by Krishna Udayshankar......

amritangshu pandey has also shown good exponence in this area with his scrolls of Aryavarta and seal of surya..........any idea if any sequel of this seal of surya has been published or not?

I was at first apprehensive to read Ashok Banker.
Then I picked up Ten Kings and I was hooked ! What a fabulous tale of a lesser known historical war.
Wish its sequel comes out, it has been pending since long.
