Book review: Go on a time travel through Sumit Verma's 'Nova and Pride'

| @indiablooms | Nov 27, 2018, at 06:42 pm

'Nova and Pride' by Sumit Verma is an innovative book that deals with scientific and technological issues, an area of interest for many.

The author talks about the Cylindrical Time Vortex right at the beginning of the book indicating his interest in time travel and an insight into the past and the future.

The book also talks about a computer chip called Sera and primarily deals with its story till the end with several twists and turns which will amuse as well as enlighten the readers about many things.

Dr. Nevery Nicolas and William Nicolas are introduced at the beginning of the chapter who are busy carrying out experiments with Nova and Sera and in the course of time activate it.

Sera is not an ordinary computer chip for storing files and photos and securing it but also to look at the past and future, which may go beyond the planet as well.

The author has used several technical terms in the book which are not very difficult to understand.

After reading for a while, a reader may think it to be an autobiography of Sera but one needs to read the entire book in order to understand it properly.
