Acknowledgement

I cannot thank Ashok enough. But for him, I would have never realized my childhood dream of having the Dynast published. He was patient enough to use all the detailed notes of information I had written and ideas that I had conveyed to him over the phone. He weaved them together to make two brilliant products, a graphic novel and a novel. As ever, it is a pleasure to work with Ashok.

I would like to express my gratitude to my wife Aparna, and my daughter, Apsara, for their patience and support during the writing of this book.
