The 2009 novel received considerable acclaims from critics for its unprecedented incorporation of many "global" historical characters and knowledge available to the present Malayalam readers for weaving the story line. Like "The Journeyer" the novel deals with the exploration of a merchant named "Francis Itty Cora", hailing from the Kerala of 15th century. Among the historical characters include Vasco da Gama and Hypatia. The current global knowledge include Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse and "primacy" of Kerala school of mathematics. Like "The Da Vinci Code", this novel is of Christian background and tries to convince the reader an alternative possibility of what happened in the past in the Nazrani community of Malabar.
