"Namaste: Episode One" is a modern day urban tale by co-authors Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant. This Kindle e-book was approximately 44 printed pages and free at the time of writing this review.Spoilers (general theme)Amit is a monk... a monk trained in the arts of martial combat and with the skill to take on a small force. When his girlfriend is murdered through an apparent contract killing, Amit's normally quiet and composed attitude is severely tested. A story of revenge and retribution against wrongs unjustly  delivered... and how sweet it is.End SpoilersSome thoughts on "Namaste"...1,) a well written tale that is told in reverse order... where the book opens near the ending and then goes back in time with subsequent chapters to explain how the finale came to be. A technique that work well for this action laden tale.2.) gruesome and gory, but because the villains are so arrogant and cocky, each comeuppance dealt out had me grinning a little wider.3.) Amit is a likable hero... a solitary figure who possesses a sense of morality and justice, and who the readers can easily root for, despite his grisly and very personalized mission.Impressions:A great short story that may be the forerunner of more episodes to come.This type of tale, where a lone hero takes on the minions of evil and succeeds, is one of my favorites. You start by knowing how the story is going to end, but it's the journey to the destination, rather than the arrival, that is the consummate joy and the special satisfaction that accompanies this type of tale.I'm hoping this is one of the series that the authors are planning to continue.As it is... 5 StarsRay Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com@ralannicholson
