Introduction:
A novel with a difficult subject - as difficult as solving a thousands of years' mystery needs a painstaking research and courage to write down which Neelabh Pratap Singh accepted and came out with flying colors since the subject is dry, not everyone's cup of tea and hard to fathom pertaining to the complexities involving the story.
The Plot: The story starts with the sudden theft of a pot, a cauldron of historical importance, from the national museum at New Delhi. ACP Aryan is given this case which he finds simply uninteresting in the first place but comes to know the gravity of the case very soon when he comes to know the dangerous game being played by a number of claimants to capture it. A game of cat and mouse chase starts and Aryan becomes successful in getting and restoring the cauldron to the govt. passing through a maze of thrilling turns and twists - of course putting his own life at risk.
Language: It seems that the writer has put considerable research on this difficult subject before jotting down the story on paper and in a flow of easy tangible, yet appropriate language using the old and new terminology suitably.

Merits: Due to painstaking research and perhaps patience, the writer has dealt a complex subject of the story containing and describing mythological characters and their grievances along with modern day stake holders comprising an Irish citizen Lugh, ACP Aryan, Rohit, Maninath and Vajra, Vats and Mukesh Anand and a few relevant more. The theory of reverse migration is unique and spreading of Ancient Indians like Devas, Manavas, Asuras, Mayan and Danavas to the far places like Ireland and North America is an encouraging and informative concept which is neither proved nor discarded ever.
Demerits : The book is edited to the perfection, is devoid of any irrelevant subplot and has been successful in maintaining the intrigue and thrill to the last. So I don't think it has any demerit as such.
What I liked : The narrative is supplemented with graphic details, and to some extent the writer has tried to explain the ancient mythology on simple scientific parameters making it a comprehensive read. The second thing I liked the effect of EVIL in the day-to-day life of people compelling them to commit crimes and chaos - almost warning everybody to reform.
Social Message: Though I myself am against of preaching morality or anything like that in my novels and stories and leave it to the reader to grasp what's wrong and what's right, Neelabh has underlined clearly that Evil breeds evil and Good breeds good without thrusting anything on the reader.
My Take : The Resurrection Of Evil is an insightful, informative and interesting read where the writer Neelabh Pratap Singh has become successful in presenting the story of a complex subject where one has to deal with mythology and modern day science in an unhindered manner with a fine balance without dragging. I would like to read his forthcoming works and wish him all the best!!
