The pills, she learns, carry frightening secrets about the true nature of her father's death; a truth that may be more than she can bear. Maxine Rosen, a demure, clumsy, Chicago caterer gets more than she bargains for when she discovers her father's coded research document linked to health pills unearthed from the ancient Indus Valley civilization. Enlisting the help of handsome professor Julian McIntosh, Max travels across the continents to unlock the mystery of her father's research, struggling to keep one step ahead of a powerful German pharmaceutical company who will stop at nothing to keep the disturbing document under wraps.
She then got herself an MBA in the U.S and stayed on.Even as she pursued careers as a business owner, small business consultant, film producer and non profit managing director, there always remained an urge to write that had been there since childhood. Following the birth of her children, she focused more and more on writing. She trained as an engineer purely because she hero worshipped her PhD holding dad. Ranj
The surprise ending makes this novel even more memorable. Iyer presses the reader to think in shades of more than just black and white and realize that human nature can be understood as a blessing or a curse– it just depends on how one thinks about it.

Loved this book Pankaj Sahasrabudhe Loved this book! Max is very relatable and flawed. The plot is layered and unpredictable. The writing has a nice flow to it. I'd have liked the bad guys characters developed more but that would've slowed down the pace. Can't have everything I suppose. Overall awesome read kept me up at night to finish!. Amazon Customer said Great summer read!. What a great read! I love when an author comes up with a plot that's so unusual and truly unique, has unpredictable twists and turns, and teaches me things I never knew. The Colussus did all that and delivered a heroine who was real and relatable and capable of growth.. ashwin said Riveting book!!. I got the book as a pre-release copy from the publisher and am glad I got to read the book before it is broadly available. I truly loved the "Colossus". It is a very gripping novel. At the start it seemed like Colossus would be an Indus valley based "Da Vinci Code". However this story was completely different and very interesting in its own unique way. Once I started I could not wait to find out what happened next! The characters are brought to life through the words of the author especially Maxine Rosen (Max) the heroine of this story. You are then swept up in the whirlwind journey al
